Anthropic · Remote-Friendly, United States · $365,000-$485,000 USD · hybrid

We're looking for a Data Center 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.

Responsibilities:

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

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

You may be a good fit if you:

Are familiar with the full datacenter buildout lifecycle: pipeline → design → sourcing → construction → Cx → deployment

Have run integrated portfolio or master-schedule planning across a fleet of capital projects (datacenter, energy, fab, or similar) where multiple functional orgs each own a phase

Have built a stage-gate or decision-lock system from scratch and gotten functional leads to adopt it

Have re-architected a deployment or delivery process at scale and can point to the cycle-time or throughput result

Build the tooling yourself using AI-assisted development , stand up planning dashboards, schedule automation, and data pipelines from Smartsheet/P6/partner systems

Proactively surface schedule risk across functions , comfortable flagging a problem in someone else's domain before it becomes a slip

Track record of driving outcomes through influence with cross-functional partners

Strong candidates may also have:

Experience building a portfolio planning and execution function from scratch at a hyperscaler or large industrial owner

Exposure to capacity planning or S&OP processes that connect demand forecast to physical build

Experience product-managing internal planning, workflow, or scheduling systems

The annual compensation range for this role is $365,000-$485,000 USD.
