Anthropic
Data Center Capacity Delivery Manager
Anthropic, San Francisco, California, United States, 94199
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, 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.
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:
$270,000 - $290,000 USD . Our total compensation package for full‑time employees includes equity, benefits, and may include incentive compensation.
Logistics Education requirements:
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 sponsor visas. While we may not be able to sponsor every role for every candidate, if we make you an offer we will make every reasonable effort to help you obtain a visa.
We encourage you to apply even if you do not believe you meet every single qualification.
Why 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 focusing on smaller, 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 are 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.
Come work with us!
Anthropic is a public benefit corporation headquartered in San Francisco. We offer competitive compensation and benefits, optional equity donation matching, generous vacation and parental leave, flexible working hours, and a lovely office space in which to collaborate with colleagues.
