Anthropic's Data Center Capacity Delivery team embeds with developers, general contractors, and third-party partners to take leased and partnered sites from deal close through floor access and operational handover as fast as they can safely be built. As a Regional Manager, you'll own delivery across a regional portfolio of active and upcoming projects. You'll build and lead the team of Senior Delivery Managers and third-party partners who sit on those sites, set the standards they execute to, and step in yourself where a project needs it. You are the executive-level interface to our developer partners in the region and the intake point for projects handed over from our transaction team. This is a highly cross-functional role: you'll work daily with our transaction, design engineering, facility operations and commissioning, deployment, and safety teams, and with developers, GCs, and owner's-representative firms on the ground., * Every active project in the region delivered against early-floor-access and floor-access milestones. * Senior Delivery Manager team hired and led; owner's-rep partners contracted and managed. * Delivery standards (schedule, quality, change control, reporting) enforced across the portfolio. * Executive reporting on progress vs plan and regional capacity projections in place., * Lead. This is a role where leadership trumps management and process. You are expected to be on the region's sites enough to shape the culture, approach, and aggressiveness that define the extended teams there - across the portfolio, not one project - and to impact outcomes in a favorable manner. * Be a force multiplier. Hire, develop, empower, and lead the Senior Delivery Managers on those sites, and raise the skillset developers, contractors, owner's-rep partners, and key trades bring to every project in the region; plan resourcing and headcount as the portfolio grows. * Own portfolio execution for the region - schedule, quality, and safety outcomes on every active project, measured against early-floor-access and floor-access milestones. You are empowered and have autonomy to own this regions record of performance. * Drive ownership and influence both inside and outside contractual structures: select, scope, contract, and manage owner's-rep and project-management partners; where contracts, incentives, or culture get in the way of speed, change them, and replace partners when performance or culture slips * Set and enforce delivery standards across projects - integrated schedule, quality requirements, change control, reporting, and tools - and validate that they are met * Identify blockers early and clear them across developer, GC, and trade layers; step in on site where a project needs it ## Related Videos - [The 2026 Talent Pivot: Essential Trends for an Evolving Workforce](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100098-the-2026-talent-pivot-essential-trends-for-an-evolving-workforce) - [Edit Your Future: Queerverse Radical AI](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/909-edit-your-future-queerverse-radical-ai) - [The Sustainability Race: AI's Promises, Pitfalls and Potential](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100155-the-sustainability-race-ai-s-promises-pitfalls-and-potential) - [How to build a sovereign European AI compute infrastructure](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1102-how-to-build-a-sovereign-european-ai-compute-infrastructure) - [Shipping Faster with Less: Render on Cloud Hosting, AI Workloads, and the Future of DevOps](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1894-shipping-faster-with-less-render-on-cloud-hosting-ai-workloads-and-the-future-of-devops) - [AI is dead, long live AK](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1093-ai-is-dead-long-live-ak) ## Related Articles - [Should Tech Managers Be Developers First?
