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 on schedules; tracking production and shipping milestones while maintaining productive partnerships

Have 7+ years in data center construction, operations, or infrastructure program management at hyperscale or critical infrastructure companies
Have management experience building and leading TPM or program management teams
Have led multi-site infrastructure programs with compressed timelines and complex cross-functional dependencies among multiple partners and vendors

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. 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. Come work
