Design Execution Manager

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.

Anthropic’s Infrastructure team is responsible for designing, delivering, and scaling the physical compute environments that power our AI research and products. The team sits at the intersection of internal customers and an ecosystem of external engineering, construction, and development partners. From site selection through design, construction, commissioning, and ongoing operations, Infrastructure ensures that Anthropic’s datacenter footprint keeps pace with our research ambitions.

We are looking for a Design Execution Manager to own the bridge between Anthropic’s technical requirements and the third-party partners who bring our datacenters to life. This is not a pure design role or a pure project management role - it lives in the critical space between the two, ensuring that design follows the requirements, and that technical intent survives every handoff from concept through turnover.

Scope spans the full design lifecycle: concept, schematic, permitting, development, construction administration, commissioning, and operations. The right candidate thrives in environments where nimble but structured processes need to be built, not just followed, and is energized by the challenge of standing up execution frameworks across a rapidly growing portfolio of mission-critical facilities.
