About the Role

You'll drive cross-functional execution of Anthropic's data center programs from construction through commissioning and day-to-day operations. Partnering with our Data Center and Compute teams, you'll own the program management that delivers buildings on time ready for production workloads. As we scale beyond our first sites, you'll focus on accelerating construction and deployment, building repeatable playbooks, and driving continuous improvement across our growing footprint.
Responsibilities:
  • Manage and develop the DC infrastructure TPM team; hire and build out the function as we scale
  • Lead program reviews and executive communications on delivery status, risks, and blockers
  • Drive construction-to-production execution across multiple sites, coordinating with partners, contractors, and internal teams
  • Own overall schedule tracking, risk identification, and mitigation; creating clear visibility for leadership
  • Align with energy and location strategy and support site selection and due diligence criteria to facilitate scaling well in advance of aggressive compute demand
  • Manage long pole dependencies and long-lead time development & procurement across a dynamically changing global marketplace
  • Partner with DC and Compute teams to drive handover criteria between site completion, equipment deployment, and operations
  • Coordinate with Infrastructure, Security, and Compliance teams on evolving requirements; versioning, optimization, and expansion across sites
  • Drive partner accountability on contractual milestones and commercial commitments
  • Coordinate equipment delivery and manage vendor accountability on schedules; tracking production and shipping milestones while maintaining productive partnerships
  • Build repeatable processes and playbooks that scale across multiple concurrent site deployments
  • Travel (20%) to sites to validate progress and build contractor relationships
You may be a good fit if you:
  • Have 7+ years in data center construction, operations, or infrastructure program management at hyperscale or critical infrastructure companies
  • Have management experience building and leading TPM or program management teams
  • Have led multi-site infrastructure programs with compressed timelines and complex cross-functional dependencies among multiple partners and vendors
  • Excel at aligning multiple partners, vendors, and internal engineering teams around shared deliverables
  • Can bridge physical infrastructure and software/security teams
  • Thrive in ambiguity and make decisions with incomplete information under schedule pressure
  • Communicate complex program status clearly to executives

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 this makes representation even more important, and we strive to include a range of diverse perspectives on our team.
