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.
