About the role
Role within Anthropic's Security GRC team focused on US government authorizations (FedRAMP, DoD, StateRAMP/TX-RAMP), translating government requirements into engineering-ready controls, managing recurring compliance cycles, and supporting model authorizations.
Responsibilities
- Run the recurring compliance cycles for our US government authorizations (continuous monitoring, POA&M, annual assessments, SSP updates, significant changes and incident notifications), starting with C4G on Palantir FedStart and the NIST SP 800-171 assessment with Schellman
- Co-own FedRAMP 20x work for Claude Enterprise, and help build new authorizations (first-party FedRAMP High, DoW impact levels, StateRAMP and TX-RAMP) with requirements and evidence work
- Support model authorizations in GovCloud and Vertex for every model launch, as the GRC member of the Inference and model delivery pod
- Translate government obligations into partner team requirements, for example vulnerability SLAs in our internal vulnerability reporting platform, and review the evidence
- Answer public sector customer and deal questions (what a boundary allows, CUI, IRS Publication 1075, CJIS, ITAR), and handle questionnaires and RFIs until they move to Customer Trust
- Map US government requirements onto the Common Control Framework with the Controls Assurance Lead and keep one source of truth for status
- Build with Claude: automate mapping, evidence collection and reporting, and verify machine-drafted language before it becomes the record
Qualifications
- Several years in security compliance or IT audit with hands-on US government compliance for a cloud service (FedRAMP, DoD impact levels, CMMC or NIST SP 800-171, or StateRAMP), including the ongoing compliance cycle after authorization
- Working command of the NIST SP 800-53 Moderate baseline and the mechanics of authorization: boundary definition, control implementation statements, assessment, continuous monitoring, POA&M and significant change
- Experience writing requirements for engineering teams from a control baseline and reviewing the evidence that came back
- Working knowledge of how a GovCloud or Vertex style government region differs from commercial, and what changes when a model, feature or region is added to an authorized boundary
- Enough technical fluency to read a runbook, configuration or pipeline definition and judge whether it enforces the written control
- Clear writing, because implementation statements and status reports are what assessors, engineers and leadership work from
- Ability to get partner teams to prioritize and close compliance work without authority over them
