The opportunity
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.
What you'll do
Lead. This is a role where leadership trumps management and process. You: will be expected to be at one or more project sites in adequate amount to shape the culture, approach, and aggressiveness that define those extended site teams. The goal is to impact outcomes in a favorable manner.
You are expected to be a force multiplier that develops and enhances the: skillset that development partners, contractors, and key trades bring to the project(s) you are overseeing. That means being a subject matter expert in the various cross functional elements of data center delivery and increasing the team's performance with that knowledge and commitment to alignment.
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
What they're looking for
- 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
- Have 8+ years of experience in the highest level of site leadership managing: data center delivery, construction projects, or infrastructure deployment at scale within Australia. You won’t have a big direct team to delegate too but will instead be able to treat the entire cross functional organizations at a jobsite as your team.
