About the role
TL;DR
Owns security delivery for data center construction from groundbreaking to handover.
- •Anthropic is building data center campuses at a pace where several are under construction at once, each moving through design, construction, commissioning, and turnover to an operating partner.
- •Security scope on those projects has to be delivered as deliberately as the buildings themselves.
- •As Lead for Data Center Security Delivery, you will own security through that entire arc for every campus under construction: from groundbreaking, through construction-phase security, through commissioning and milestone acceptance, to a clean handover into full operation.
- •Key Responsibilities Own the security delivery program across every Anthropic campus under construction: concurrently, from groundbreaking to handover.
- •Manage construction-phase security delivery: temporary site security, contractor vetting and access, protection of installed equipment, and coordination with general contractors and site teams.
- •Define and maintain security acceptance criteria at each construction milestone and commissioning gate; run or attend acceptance events.
- •Build and run a structured, evidence-based readiness process proving the operating company is genuinely ready before handover.
- •Rewrite DCSE's construction-security requirements, delivery processes, and acceptance frameworks where they fail in the field.
- •Requirements Personally delivered the physical security scope on new-build data center (or comparable critical-infrastructure) construction projects.
- •or commissioning-acceptance processes: FAT/SAT, punch lists, turnover documentation, formal sign-off.
- •Held an operator, landlord, or vendor accountable to contractual security obligations, with evidence rather than assurances.
- •Comfortable being the person who says "not ready", and can do it in a way that produces a plan rather than a standoff.
- •Can absorb the operational noise of multiple concurrent construction sites and still drive each one toward its handover date.
