Anthropic's mission is to create reliable, interpretable, and steerable AI systems. We want AI to be safe and beneficial for our users and for society as a whole. Our team is a quickly growing group of committed researchers, engineers, policy experts, and business leaders working together to build beneficial AI systems.

As a Data Center Capacity Delivery Manager at Anthropic, you'll serve as the critical bridge between our infrastructure strategy and the delivery of leased and partnered data center capacity. You'll validate deal readiness, coordinate complex stakeholder relationships, maintain regular reporting and status tracking, andensure 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.

Responsibilities:

• Confirm deal readiness and serve as the gatekeeper to validate transaction viability from Letter of Intent (LOI) through lease execution, ensuring all predevelopment, planning, technical and business requirements are met before commitment

• Partner with landlords and developers post-deal to serve as Anthropic's primary point of contact, coordinating across internal stakeholders, tracking construction progress, and facilitating critical information exchange between development partners and Anthropic stakeholders

• Represent Anthropic in key technical and operational decisions required by partners during the development process, ensuring our infrastructure requirements are met while maintaining strong partnerships

• Drive seamless handoffs to operational state with heavy focus on engagement across networking and deployment teams, enabling rapid workload turn-ups and minimizing time-to-production

• Prepare and present regular executive reporting on progress versus plan for facility development, supporting forward capacity planning and strategic decision-making

• Identify and mitigate risks throughout the delivery lifecycle, proactively addressing blockers that could impact timeline, cost, or technical requirements

• Develop and refine standardized processes and playbooks for facility delivery, driving continuous improvement as Anthropic scales its infrastructure footprint

You may be a good fit if you:

• Have 5+ years of experience managing data center delivery, construction projects, or infrastructure deployment at scale

• Have a 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.

• Possess strong project management skills with a track record of coordinating complex, multi-stakeholder initiatives from inception to operational handoff

• Have experience working with landlords, developers, or construction teams in data center or critical infrastructure environments

• Excel at stakeholder management and can effectively communicate technical requirements to both internal teams and external partners

• Are comfortable operating in ambiguous, fast-paced environments where you need to define processes while executing

• Have strong technical fluency to engage meaningfully with networking, power, and infrastructure teams

• Can balance attention to detail with strategic thinking, ensuring both tactical execution and alignment with long-term capacity plans

It's a bonus if you:

• Have experience with hyperscale data center environments or co-location facilities

• Understand AI/ML infrastructure requirements, including high-density power and advanced cooling systems

• Have worked in high-growth tech companies managing infrastructure expansion

• Possess experience with capacity planning or infrastructure operations handoffs

• Are familiar with lease negotiations, construction contracts, or real estate development processes

The expected base compensation for this position is below. Our total compensation package for full-time employees includes equity, benefits, and may include incentive compensation.

Logistics

Education requirements: We require at least a Bachelor's degree in a related field or equivalent experience.

Location-based hybrid policy: Currently, we expect all staff to be in one of our offices at least 25% of the time. However, some roles may require more time in our offices.

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 AI systems like the ones we're building have enormous social and ethical implications. We think this makes representation even more important, and we strive to include a range of diverse perspectives on our team.

How we're different

We believe that the highest-impact AI research will be big science. At Anthropic we work as a single cohesive team on just a few large-scale research efforts. And we value impact — advancing our long-term goals of steerable, trustworthy AI — rather than work on smaller and more specific puzzles. We view AI research as an empirical science, which has as much in common with physics and biology as with traditional efforts in computer science. We're an extremely collaborative group, and we host frequent research discussions to ensure that we are pursuing the highest-impact work at any given time. As such, we greatly value communication skills.

The easiest way to understand our research directions is to read our recent research. This research continues many of the directions our team worked on prior to Anthropic, including: GPT-3, Circuit-Based Interpretability, Multimodal Neurons, Scaling Laws, AI & Compute, Concrete Problems in AI Safety, and Learning from Human Preferences.
