Description
About the Role
You'll help run Anthropic's unified audit program: quarterly audits across SOC 2, HIPAA and the ISO 27000 family including ISO 42001, plus the rest of our certifications, working with our audit firms, our GRC Partners, and control owners across the company.
You'll plan new audits as we expand to new frameworks, platforms and regions, and run the gap assessments that tell us what each expansion takes before we commit to it.
You'll help build the audit operating model and runbook, and drive automation in the program so evidence is collected once and reused across frameworks, requests reach control owners once, and each audit cycle takes less effort than the last.
Building with Claude is a normal part of the job, with you deciding where human judgment stays in the loop.
This is an individual contributor role for someone with program management experience who writes clearly, stays calm under deadlines, and likes making a busy program simpler.
Key Responsibilities
- Run the audit program as a program: one integrated plan and calendar across audits and expansions, with milestones, dependencies, risks and decisions tracked, and regular status to GRC leadership and stakeholders
- Plan and run the quarterly audits, from scoping through report and findings closeout
- Run audit readiness ahead of each fieldwork window: control owner prep, evidence pre-checks and walkthrough dry runs
- Scope each audit's boundary with Product and Engineering: which products and deployment paths are in scope, and flag when a launch or new platform changes it
- Help build the audit operating model and runbook for a unified audit program, and keep both current as the program grows
- Drive automation in the program: evidence collected from source systems, request tracking and audit reporting, with evidence and walkthroughs reused across frameworks
- Coordinate audits across frameworks and firms so audit windows line up and control owners are asked for the same evidence once, and drive new ways of automated evidence generation and collection with GRC Engineering
- Plan new audits and audit expansions as we commit to them
- Run framework and scope expansion evaluations and gap assessments, with a recommendation and an effort estimate leadership can act on
- Work closely with control owners and GRC Partners: prepare control owners for audits, get evidence delivered and findings closed, and hand findings that need extended remediation to GRC Partners
- Manage day-to-day auditor relationships, and report audit status, findings and program metrics to GRC leadership
Minimum Qualifications
- Several years of program management: running multi-workstream programs with a plan, milestones, dependencies, risk tracking and status reporting to leadership
- Several years running external security audits (SOC 2 and ISO 27001 at minimum), on the company side or at an audit firm, including seasons with several frameworks at once
- Working knowledge of SOC 2, the ISO 27000 family, ISO 42001 and HIPAA, and where their requirements overlap
- Experience leading a gap assessment for a new framework or scope change and presenting the result to leadership
- Experience building or improving an audit process: calendars, request tracking, runbooks, roles and responsibilities
- Enough technical fluency to understand how evidence is produced in cloud environments and to judge whether a system-generated report is complete and accurate, and to build simple automations with Claude
- Clear writing and calm coordination under deadline pressure
- Ability to get control owners to deliver on time without authority over them

- Competitive compensation and benefits
