Anthropic’s mission is to create reliable, interpretable, and steerable AI systems. We want AI to be safe and beneficial for our users and for society as a whole. Our team is a quickly growing group of committed researchers, engineers, policy experts, and business leaders working together to build beneficial AI systems.
Anthropic is looking for a Head of Insurance & Business Risk to build this pivotal function from the ground up. You'll own Anthropic's corporate insurance program end-to-end — assessing our risk landscape, designing and placing coverage, and developing the broader risk mitigation strategies that protect the company as we grow. This role presents the opportunity to quickly scale a risk management program while shaping how the insurance industry understands emerging AI risks.
Responsibilities- Own the full corporate insurance program across all lines — cyber, tech E&O, and Property & Casualty — including renewals, claims, and broker relationships
- Centralize insurance ownership from stakeholders across Legal, Facilities, Security, Product, Policy, and Research into a single coherent program
- Meet regularly with business leaders to surface emerging risks, and design coverage or alternative risk-transfer strategies to address them
- Build relationships with carriers, underwriters, and regulators to help shape how the insurance market approaches AI-specific risk
- Think about risk transfer holistically — deciding when to insure, self-insure, use captives, transfer contractually, or mitigate operationally
- Embed Claude throughout the insurance and risk workflow, from exposure modeling to renewal preparation
- Have owned the full corporate insurance program at a company including the full renewal cycle, claims, broker management, and board reporting
- Have deep technical insurance depth: you can speak credibly to coverage structure, exclusions, and pricing dynamics across major lines without deferring to a broker
- Have built or significantly rebuilt a risk function, rather than only inheriting and maintaining one
- Think about risk transfer holistically and can articulate when not to buy a policy
- Are comfortable operating at the pace of a fast-growing company and being seen as additive to the business, not a blocker
- Have a point of view on how to structure coverage for risks the market hasn't fully priced yet
- Experience with data center, hyperscaler, or neocloud-specific property and business interruption risk
- Captive formation or captive management experience
- A background on the broker side that they've since brought in-house at a fast-growing company
- Experience engaging directly with regulators or carriers on novel risk categories

We believe that the highest-impact AI research will be big science. At Anthropic we work as a single cohesive team on just a few large-scale research efforts. And we value impact — advancing our long-term goals of steerable, trustworthy AI — rather than work on smaller and more specific puzzles. We view AI research as an empirical science, which has as much in common with physics and biology as with traditional efforts in computer science. We're an extremely collaborative group, and we host frequent research discussions to ensure that we are pursuing the highest-impact work at any given time. As such, we greatly value communication skills.
The easiest way to understand our research directions is to read our recent research. This research continues many of the directions our team worked on prior to Anthropic, including: GPT-3, Circuit-Based Interpretability, Multimodal Neurons, Scaling Laws, AI & Compute, Concrete Problems in AI Safety, and Learning from Human Preferences.
