Data Center Portfolio Planning & Execution Lead

About Anthropic

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.

About the role

Anthropic is rapidly scaling our compute infrastructure across a portfolio of datacenter builds with multiple developer, neocloud, and cloud partnerships. We're looking for a DC Portfolio Planning & Execution Lead to drive the planning and framework that ensures every site moves smoothly from the front-end phases through design, construction, equipment delivery, commissioning, and operational readiness.

This role owns the portfolio-level operating system: translating capacity supply pipeline into integrated project plans that span every phase of delivery, building the tooling and automation that runs it at scale, and maintaining Anthropic's datacenter capacity catalog — a lifecycle view of our fleet that supports both execution orchestration and steady-state capacity planning. You will build this function from the ground up.

Responsibilities

Portfolio schedule & catalog

• Manage the integrated master plan for each site across the portfolio — stitching power ramp, design, construction, sourcing, deployment, and operations readiness into a single coordinated schedule with clear milestones and dependencies
• Develop and maintain Anthropic's datacenter catalog for deployed and in-progress capacity. Manage the portfolio-level view of physical infrastructure & cluster interfaces across all sites and partners to enable planning decisions such as equipment fungibility, accelerator platforms, tech insertion, or workload allocation

Stage gates & execution tracking

• Define and run the stage gates and decision locks for cluster delivery — from lease execution to design lock through procurement, construction, equipment installation, commissioning, and handover
• Drive gate reviews, manage exceptions, and track the downstream impact of deviations across the portfolio
• Manage portfolio reviews and risk tracking for DC Infra leadership and Compute Supply

Tooling & process

• Develop tooling and automation to enable cross-functional planning flow-down from datacenter capacity availability dates
• Partner with Design, Supply Chain, Construction, and DC Ops program leads to drive cross-pillar process improvements as portfolio scales
