About The Position

As a Senior Data Center Capacity Delivery Manager at Anthropic, you'll embed with project teams responsible for delivery of leased and partnered data center capacity. Your primary role will be to lead these partners to deliver on the fastest possible schedule while maintaining a safe construction site and protecting the finished quality of the data center. Additionally, you'll validate deal readiness, coordinate complex stakeholder relationships, maintain regular reporting and status tracking, and ensure seamless transitions from project inception through operational readiness. This role offers a unique opportunity to shape how Anthropic secures and activates the compute infrastructure needed to train and deploy frontier AI systems, working at the intersection of real estate, construction, and cutting-edge AI infrastructure.

Requirements

10+ years of experience in the highest level of site leadership managing data center delivery, construction projects, or infrastructure deployment at scale.
Strong understanding of the end to end (dirt to delivery) data center development process to include entitlements and permitting, planning and supply chain, execution, commissioning, and handover.
Comfortable making decisions and guiding delivery execution without the need to consult across multiple external parties.
Ability to think about building a data center as a simple and repeatable process that allows you to build and optimize delivery without a playbook and with minimal processes and tools handed to you.
Ability to operate with ambiguity and a willingness to own project outcomes.
Comfortable in boots on a job site working to solve productivity issues with a group of blue collar trades as you are working across executives at development and contractor partners to optimize contract and commercial structures that incentivize delivery speed.
Bachelor’s degree or an equivalent combination of education, training, and/or experience.
A field relevant to the role as demonstrated through coursework, training, or professional experience.
