Regional Safety & Security Manager, Americas

About the Role

As Anthropic scales across the Americas, the Regional Safety & Security Manager (RSSM), Americas is the single operational owner of safety and security execution for every Anthropic location in the region. Our global function leaders set the standards — for physical security design, enterprise risk, and environmental health & safety. The RSSM is the leader who employs those standards in the field: directing the campus security managers, the regional systems integration team, the safety practitioners, and the contract guard force that protect our people, facilities, and research every day.

This is a senior leadership role with real ownership. You own the region’s safety and security posture, its people, and its budget, and you are accountable for outcomes at every site.

Responsibilities

• Regional operations: Own end-to-end safety and security operations for all Americas sites, protecting employees, visitors, assets, and AI research while maintaining ASL compliance.
• Team leadership: Lead the region’s safety and security team — campus security managers, the Americas systems integration team, EH&S regional staff, and contracted guard-force partners. Set direction, develop talent, and manage performance.
• Incident command: Serve as regional incident commander for critical incidents and emergencies; build and exercise emergency-response plans with local law enforcement and emergency services.
• Standards execution: Implement and localize the global standards set by the Physical Security Design, Enterprise Risk, and EH&S global function leaders — consistently across the region, adapted to site and jurisdiction — and feed field intelligence back to keep standards sharp.
• Budget and vendors: Own the regional safety and security budget and vendor portfolio; drive cost-effective coverage, guard-post standards, and service quality.
• New sites: Collaborate with new-site leadership teams on security risk assessments, security design input, and pre-opening readiness, supporting the transition to steady-state operations.
• Partnerships: Build trusted relationships with law enforcement, emergency services, and government partners across the region; represent Anthropic in regional public-safety forums.
• Culture: Champion an approachable safety and security culture that enables — rather than restricts — a fast-moving research organization.

You may be a good fit if you

• Have 10+ years of progressive safety and/or security leadership, including multi-site or regional responsibility and direct people leadership.
• Have led sizable teams (staff and vendor/guard forces) of 50 or more and owned meaningful operating budgets in excess of $10M.
• Have served as incident commander for complex, high-stakes incidents and built emergency-response capability.
• Have delivered the security scope for complex capital facility projects — a new buildout or major renovation — from design through activation.
• Have built durable partnerships with law enforcement, emergency services, and government agencies.
• Communicate credibly with executives and front-line staff alike, and can influence across a matrixed organization without relying on direct authority.
• Are willing to travel regularly across Americas sites and support a 24/7 on-call posture.

Strong candidates may have

• A public-safety, law-enforcement, or military command background successfully transitioned into corporate security leadership.
• Experience managing large teams of 100 or more and multimillion-dollar budgets ($25M and up) across multiple disciplines — safety programs, security technology teams, dispatch function, training and compliance.
• Direct delivery of a capital security/facility project (e.g., a new operations center or campus) from design through opening.
• A track record building critical-incident and workplace-violence-prevention programs.
• Certifications such as CPP or PSP; ICS/FEMA incident-command training; active ASIS/InfraGard engagement.
• A bachelor’s degree (master’s preferred) in a relevant field.
• Experience in high-profile technology, research, or otherwise regulated environments.
