Details

You'll drive cross-functional execution of Anthropic's data center programs from construction through commissioning and day-to-day operations. Partnering with the Data Center and Compute teams, you'll own program management that delivers buildings on time and ready for production workloads. As Anthropic scales beyond its first sites, you'll focus on accelerating construction and deployment, building repeatable playbooks, and driving continuous improvement across its growing footprint.

Responsibilities

• Manage and develop the data center infrastructure TPM team; hire and build out the function as the organization scales.
• 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 schedule tracking, risk identification, and mitigation while creating clear visibility for leadership.
• Align with energy and location strategy and support site selection and due diligence criteria to facilitate scaling ahead of aggressive compute demand.
• Manage long-pole dependencies and long-lead-time development and procurement across a dynamically changing global marketplace.
• Partner with Data Center and Compute teams to define 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 for schedules, tracking production and shipping milestones while maintaining productive partnerships.
• Build repeatable processes and playbooks that scale across multiple concurrent site deployments.
• Travel approximately 20% to sites to validate progress and build contractor relationships.

Requirements

• 7+ years of experience in data center construction, operations, or infrastructure program management at hyperscale or critical infrastructure companies.
• Management experience building and leading TPM or program management teams.
• Experience leading multi-site infrastructure programs with compressed timelines and complex cross-functional dependencies among multiple partners and vendors.
• Ability to align multiple partners, vendors, and internal engineering teams around shared deliverables.
• Ability to bridge physical infrastructure and software and security teams.
• Ability to thrive in ambiguity and make decisions with incomplete information under schedule pressure.
• Strong communication skills, including the ability to communicate complex program status clearly to executives.
• Bachelor's degree or an equivalent combination of education, training, and experience. The field of study should be relevant to the role as demonstrated through coursework, training, or professional experience.

Compensation

• Annual salary: $365,000–$435,000 USD
