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.
Training and serving frontier AI models requires data center capacity at a scale and pace that conventional delivery models were not built for. Anthropic's Data Center Capacity Delivery team embeds with developers, general contractors, and third-party partners to take leased and partnered sites from deal close through floor access and operational handover as fast as they can safely be built.
As a Regional Manager, you'll own delivery across a regional portfolio of active and upcoming projects. You'll build and lead the team of Senior Delivery Managers and third-party partners who sit on those sites, set the standards they execute to, and step in yourself where a project needs it. You are the executive-level interface to our developer partners in the region and the intake point for projects handed over from our transaction team.
This is a highly cross-functional role: you'll work daily with our transaction, design engineering, facility operations and commissioning, deployment, and safety teams, and with developers, GCs, and owner's-representative firms on the ground.
Deliver the region’s data center projects to floor access as fast as they can safely be built.
Every active project in the region delivered against early-floor-access and floor-access milestones.
Senior Delivery Manager team hired and led; owner’s-rep partners contracted and managed.
Delivery standards (schedule, quality, change control, reporting) enforced across the portfolio.
Executive reporting on progress vs plan and regional capacity projections in place.
Senior owner- or GC-side mission-critical delivery leadership.
Builds and leads multi-project teams.
Executive-level developer and GC relationship management.
Leads on site through presence; owns outcomes where no process exists.
Lead. This is a role where leadership trumps management and process. You are expected to be on the region's sites enough to shape the culture, approach, and aggressiveness that define the extended teams there — across the portfolio, not one project — and to impact outcomes in a favorable manner.
Be a force multiplier. Hire, develop, empower, and lead the Senior Delivery Managers on those sites, and raise the skillset developers, contractors, owner's-rep partners, and key trades bring to every project in the region; plan resourcing and headcount as the portfolio grows.
Own portfolio execution for the region — schedule, quality, and safety outcomes on every active project, measured against early-floor-access and floor-access milestones. You are empowered and have autonomy to own this region's record of performance.
Drive ownership and influence both inside and outside contractual structures: select, scope, contract, and manage owner's-rep and project-management partners; where contracts, incentives, or culture get in the way of speed, change them, and replace partners when performance or culture slips
Set and enforce delivery standards across projects — integrated schedule, quality requirements, change control, reporting, and tools — and validate that they are met
Identify blockers early and clear them across developer, GC, and trade layers; step in on site where a project needs it
Have 10+ years delivering data center or other mission-critical construction, including several as the owner's or GC's senior leader on a project campus
Have led a multi-project portfolio and built the team that delivered it
Know the end-to-end development process — entitlements and permitting, design, long-lead equipment, construction, commissioning, and handover — well enough to direct partners rather than take their word for it
Have managed developer, GC, and third-party relationships at the executive level and can move them from arm's-length contract administration to shared urgency
Lead through presence: you expect to be on site most of the time and to set the pace and culture of extended teams you don't directly employ
Communicate clearly with technical and non-specialist stakeholders and hold a position when challenged
Are comfortable with ambiguity and with owning outcomes where no process exists yet
Hyperscale data center delivery experience on the owner, developer, or GC side
Experience with the US & Texas market — its contractors, permitting regimes, and contractual norms
Familiarity with lease, construction, and development contract structures and how to align their incentives around speed

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.
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.
