Anthropic
Anthropic is an AI safety and research company founded in 2021 by former OpenAI executives, including siblings Dario and Daniela Amodei, who left to pursue a more safety-focused approach to building powerful AI systems. Its flagship product, the Claude family of large language models, competes directly with OpenAI's GPT series and Google's Gemini, and has become widely used in enterprise and developer settings, particularly for coding and reasoning tasks. The company positions itself distinctly within the AI industry by emphasizing interpretability and alignment research alongside commercial deployment, framing itself as a lab racing to build capable frontier models while trying to ensure they remain steerable and beneficial as capabilities scale.
Gig description
About Anthropic 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. About the role We are looking for a Senior Manager, IT SOX to join the Internal Audit team at Anthropic. In this role, you will be a hands-on technical contributor and key executor of our IT SOX compliance program, with deep focus on our IT General Controls, IT Application Controls, and system risk assessments. This role reports to the Head of IT SOX and is well-suited for someone who is comfortable with ambiguity, thrives in a high-pace environment, and enjoys solving problems that don't yet have industry-standard answers. This is a high-impact opportunity to collaborate with first and second lines of defense to help establish a control environment suitable for an AI-first company! You will act as a trusted advisor to Engineering, GRC, Security and Finance teams on the technology controls adapted to a fast growing and rapidly changing organization. You'll bring technical depth, a bias toward automation, and the ability to partner effectively with both technical teams and external auditors as the organization scales through pre-IPO readiness. Key responsibilities - Advise on the design of a control environment fit for an AI-first company, including controls over highly automated DevOps pipelines and emerging agentic identity models - Partner with Engineering, Security, IT, and DevOps teams to assess the design and implementation of scalable and sustainable controls - Assess new system implementations and changes - Identify automation and tooling opportunities to improve control efficiency and monitoring, and contribute to the development of continuous monitoring capabilities - Assist in scoping and planning for annual SOX IT assessments - Execute IT SOX testing across IT General Controls and IT Application Controls, including access management, change management, and computer operations - Perform system and process risk assessments to identify control gaps and recommend remediation - Own control documentation and ensure audit-ready evidence is current and complete - Evaluate IT automated controls and support the shift from manual to automated control reliance - Scale the IT SOX program as the company grows — rationalizing scope, standardizing testing approaches, and building repeatable processes that keep pace with new systems and entities - Guide and direct the day-to-day work of internal team members and co-sourced partners: setting priorities, reviewing workpapers, and ensuring quality and consistency across the testing program - Build strong working relationships with process and control owners across the organization - Translate technical control requirements for non-technical stakeholders and vice versa - Support SEC cybersecurity disclosure requirements and related risk monitoring efforts - Coordinate with external auditors on IT SOX matters, including evidence requests, walkthroughs, and testing schedules - Track and assist with remediation of audit findings; communicate status to the Head of IT SOX and relevant stakeholders - Minimum qualifications - Hands-on IT audit or IT SOX compliance experience, ideally in a fast-paced technology environment - Deep working knowledge of ITGCs, ITACs, and IT risk assessment methodologies - Experience auditing highly automated DevOps environments (CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure-as-code, automated deployments) and adapting traditional change-management and access controls to them - Experience designing, testing, and documenting controls across access management, change management, and computer operations - Demonstrated comfort with ambiguity and the ability to operate effectively in a high-pace, rapidly changing environment - Ability to effectively guide and direct the work of internal team members and/or co-sourced partners - Ability to work independently on complex, ambiguous workstreams while communicating proactively with senior stakeholders - Strong project management and organizational skills with close attention to detail - Clear, effective communicator — able to work across technical and non-technical audiences Preferred qualifications - 8+ years of hands-on IT audit and SOX compliance experience, including time in a Big 4 or comparable environment - Hands-on experience with cloud environments (GCP, AWS, and/or Azure) - Experience at a pre-IPO or newly public technology company - Track record of scaling an audit or SOX program through periods of rapid growth - Familiarity with enterprise systems such as Workday, Salesforce, or GitHub - Experience evaluating SDLC controls in modern software development environments - CISA, CIA, CISSP, CPA, or equivalent certification - Genuine enthusiasm for working in an AI-first environment — applying AI to audit work itself and rethinking assumptions about how controls operate when AI is embedded in the processes being audited The annual compensation range for this role is listed below. For sales roles, the range provided is the role’s On Target Earnings ("OTE") range, meaning that the range includes both the sales commissions/sales bonuses target and annual base salary for the role. Annual Salary: $230,000 — $300,000 USD Logistics Minimum education: Bachelor’s degree or an equivalent combination of education, training, and/or experience Required field of study: A field relevant to the role as demonstrated through coursework, training, or professional experience Minimum years of experience: Years of experience required will correlate with the internal job level requirements for the position Location-based hybrid policy: Currently, we expect all staff to be in one of our offices at least 25% of the time. However, some roles may require more time in our offices. Visa sponsorship: We do sponsor visas! However, we aren't able to successfully sponsor visas for every role and every candidate. But if we make you an offer, we will make every reasonable effort to get you a visa, and we retain an immigration lawyer to help with this. We encourage you to apply even if you do not believe you meet every single qualification. Not all strong candidates will meet every single qualification as listed. Research shows that people who identify as being from underrepresented groups are more prone to experiencing imposter syndrome and doubting the strength of their candidacy, so we urge you not to exclude yourself prematurely and to submit an application if you're interested in this work. We think AI systems like the ones we're building have enormous social and ethical implications. We think this makes representation even more important, and we strive to include a range of diverse perspectives on our team. Your safety matters to us. To protect yourself from potential scams, remember that Anthropic recruiters only contact you from @anthropic.com email addresses. In some cases, we may partner with vetted recruiting agencies who will identify themselves as working on behalf of Anthropic. Be cautious of emails from other domains. Legitimate Anthropic recruiters will never ask for money, fees, or banking information before your first day.

How we're different 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. Come work with us! Anthropic is a public benefit corporation headquartered in San Francisco. We offer competitive compensation and benefits, optional equity donation matching, generous vacation and parental leave, flexible working hours, and a lovely office space in which to collaborate with colleagues.
