• Develop detailed threat models for fraud and scam vectors — including social engineering, financial fraud, impersonation scams, phishing, and AI-enabled fraud — and translate these into enforceable policy language
• Stay current on the fraud and scam landscape, including emerging typologies, regulatory shifts, and threat actor tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs)

Enforcement Strategy & Operations

• Define and manage precision/recall tradeoffs in enforcement, working with data science teams to continuously tune classifiers and detection signals
• Build and maintain an effective feedback loop between threat intelligence, policy, and enforcement operations to ensure timely response to novel and evolving fraud threats

Technical & Cross-functional Collaboration
• Serve as the primary policy point of contact for ML and Engineering teams developing fraud detection classifiers, working to translate policy intent into technical artifacts and training signals

• Collaborate with external researchers, law enforcement liaisons, and fraud SMEs to gather feedback on policy effectiveness and emerging risk areas

• Contribute to Anthropic's external communications and policy documentation related to fraud and platform integrity where relevant

You may be a good fit if you have experience:
• Working as a Trust & Safety professional with a focused background in fraud, scams, or financial crime — particularly in a tech platform or AI context
• Writing, iterating on, and managing operational policies for fraud or abuse prevention at scale

• Using SQL or other data analysis tools to identify trends, measure enforcement efficacy, and surface policy gaps
• Collaborating cross-functionally with Engineering, ML, Legal, and Policy teams on safety initiatives
• Working with generative AI products, including writing effective prompts for content review and enforcement use cases
• Thriving in a fast-paced, ambiguous environment where priorities shift and the threat landscape evolves rapidly
