Requirements
Skills
- Demonstrated technical writing ability to produce precise and readable prose from dense, jargon‑heavy source material
- Working conceptual knowledge of large language models, with fluency in terms such as pretraining, RLHF, context windows, evaluations, red‑teaming, and capability thresholds
- Ability to read evaluation results tables, ask clarifying questions, and identify gaps in technical arguments
- Track record of driving complex, multi‑contributor projects to completion against hard deadlines
- Strong project coordination instincts and experience managing many parallel open threads across contributors
- Ability to coordinate and influence without direct authority across research and engineering teams
- Eye for data presentation and ability to assess clarity and accuracy of charts and tables
- Familiarity with AI safety, AI policy, alignment research, national security operations and/or policy, or threat modeling beyond baseline LLM knowledge
- Experience with safety or compliance documentation such as safety cases, risk assessments, security disclosures, or clinical/scientific reporting
- Background in science communication, research publishing, or technical journalism
- Track record of shipping long‑form technical documents (research reports, whitepapers, standards, or regulatory filings)
- Experience producing polished, visually consistent documents with an eye for layout and on‑brand presentation
- Comfort using frontier LLM tools as a productivity aid without substituting them for independent judgment
- Bachelor’s degree or an equivalent combination of education, training, and/or experience
Responsibilities
- Drive risk report production end to end, owning the timeline, contributor list, and open‑threads tracker
- Coordinate core contributors across Frontier Red Team, Safeguards, Alignment, Interpretability, and capabilities research; chase drafts, resolve disagreements, find ground truth, and run the final polish pass
- Edit (and sometimes write) content; work with researchers and red‑teamers to transform evaluation results, threat models, and plots into clear, non‑marketing prose, maintaining Anthropic’s voice across sections
- Guard accuracy and consistency by catching terminology drift, subtle contradictions, and gaps between internal findings and the draft
- Ensure risk report alignment with system cards, RSP disclosures, and other safety documentation, flagging conflicts early
- Improve the process between reports by building templates, style guidance, and contributor checklists for stronger baseline cycles
- Take on other research‑adjacent operations and writing work related to external artifacts and Anthropic’s RSP
