Anthropic is building multiple data center campuses concurrently and seeks a Lead for Data Center Security Delivery to own the security program across every campus under construction—from groundbreaking through commissioning, acceptance, and handover to operating partners.
You will be the single point of accountability for ensuring each site's security is genuinely ready before going live. This is a hands-on delivery role managing the day-to-day complexity of active construction sites: temporary site security, contractor vetting and access control, equipment protection, and coordination with general contractors and site teams.
Key responsibilities include:
• Construction-phase security delivery: manage temporary site security, vet and control contractor access, protect installed equipment, and coordinate with GCs on every active build.
• Milestone and commissioning acceptance: define security acceptance criteria at each construction milestone and commissioning gate; run or attend acceptance events (FAT/SAT, punch lists); issue or withhold security sign-off.
• Operator readiness verification: build and run a structured, evidence-based readiness process proving the operating company is genuinely ready before handover—staffing, guard force, SOPs, security systems, and contractual obligations demonstrably met.
• Clean handover to operations: own the turnover package (as-builts, test records, credentials, punch-list closure, residual-risk register) and the defined transition from construction-phase to operational security ownership.
• Requirements and process authority: rewrite Anthropic's construction-security requirements, delivery processes, and acceptance frameworks where they fail in the field, and codify what works so each build is cleaner than the last.
• Representation and escalation: represent security in design reviews, owner-architect-contractor meetings, and change management; coordinate integrators, GCs, and operator counterparts on security system installation, testing, and commissioning; surface schedule and readiness risks early to leadership.
You will absorb the operational noise of multiple concurrent construction sites so the rest of the data center security team can stay focused on steady-state operations and systems. You have the authority and expectation to rewrite processes that don't survive contact with real construction schedules. You work through influence with GCs, integrators, operators, and internal partners—shaping decisions rather than blocking them.
