This role focuses on facilities where Anthropic has direct control through ownership or long-term lease, complementing the colo & networks, and cloud compute legal teammates (facilities where Anthropic is tenant, and our hyperscaler relationships, respectively).

You'll work in close partnership with specialised outside counsel on financing and real estate matters, serving as the in-house coordinator who ensures external work product aligns with Anthropic's commercial objectives and integrates with our overall compute strategy.

Responsibilities:

Negotiate long-term datacenter leases with major developers, and represent some of Anthropic's largest and lengthiest capital commitments

Support and structure power purchase agreements, negotiate utility interconnection agreements, and manage utility-related legal requirements or initiatives e.g., renewables

Coordinate construction-adjacent agreements including design-build contracts, equipment procurement, and commissioning schedules

Manage legal workstreams for complex financing structures (e.g., sale-leasebacks, tax components, or project finance vehicles)

Work closely with specialised outside counsel (real estate and financing specialists), ensuring their work product aligns with Anthropic's commercial objectives

Collaborate with compute team's transaction managers who handle operational execution and project management, providing legal and risk management expertise

Coordinate with finance and corporate development on strategic deal structuring

Understand how datacenter legal structures interact with the compute capacity they will house e.g., power requirements, cooling specifications, security standards, and expansion rights all flow from decisions made elsewhere in the Compute organisation

Escalate novel structures or terms that create downstream risk for Anthropic’s operational flexibility to managers; ensure facility designs accommodate AI-specific requirements including high-density power, liquid cooling infrastructure, and rapid scaling capacity

You might be a good fit if you have:

JD and active membership in at least one U.S. state bar

At least 8 years of relevant legal experience with meaningful exposure to project finance, construction contracts, or infrastructure real estate transactions

Fluency in commercial real estate and construction contracting; datacenter lease structures, construction risk allocation, and financing arrangements (and how they will interact)

Experience with EPC, AIA, and design-build arrangements at scale

Comfort with project finance structures and the interplay between lease, financing, and development agreements

Ability to coordinate effectively with specialised outside counsel while maintaining strategic direction

Strong judgment about when deal terms create downstream risk for operational flexibility

Effective collaboration skills for working with business teams who handle transaction management and site selection

Communication skills that translate complex real estate and financing concepts into clear risk assessments for business stakeholders

Genuine interest in infrastructure development and appreciation for why datacenter capacity is mission-critical for frontier AI

Strong candidates may have:

In-house experience at datacenter developers supporting leasing, project development, and financing transactions

Background at infrastructure private equity firms with exposure to datacenter or similar infrastructure investments

Experience at large technology companies with datacenter construction programs (Meta, Google, Microsoft) supporting development transactions from the buy side

Law firm experience at practices with infrastructure finance or project development specialisation, particularly those who have worked on datacenter, power, or similar infrastructure financings

Prior involvement in transactions requiring sophisticated understanding of construction timelines, commissioning requirements, and operational handoff

Familiarity with tax structures, sale-leaseback arrangements, or other financing vehicles used in large-scale infrastructure development pees

Role-specific policy: For this role, we expect staff to be able to work from our San Francisco or New York office at least 3 days a week, though we encourage you to apply even if you might need some flexibility for an interim period of time.

The annual compensation range for this role is listed below.

For sales roles, the range provided is the role’s On Target Earnings (“OTE”) range, meaning that the range includes both the sales commissions/sales bonuses target and annual base salary for the role.

Your responsibilities will include serving as a key member of our Legal team, providing expert legal advice and strategic guidance to our strategic real estate, facilities, and project management teams on all phases of construction projects, from procurement and contracting to project close-out. You will represent Anduril in negotiations with general contractors, subcontractors, architects, engineers, and other project stakeholders, ensuring optimal terms and risk allocation for the company as an owner/tenant.

You will also manage and advise on construction claims, disputes, delays, defects, warranty issues, and payment disputes, including strategizing on resolution, settlement, and potential litigation or arbitration. Additionally, you will develop, standardize, and maintain internal construction contract templates, playbooks, and processes to enhance efficiency, consistency, and risk management across Anduril's projects.

To be successful in this role, you will require a Juris Doctor (JD) degree from a top-tier accredited law school, a minimum of 7 years of experience practicing construction law, and active membership in good standing with the bar in at least one U.S. state.

You will be at one or more project sites 60% of the time or more and expected 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, general 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.

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.
