Anthropic is seeking a Transaction Manager for Canada to drive commercial sourcing and transaction execution for Canadian data center capacity deals. This role sits at the intersection of infrastructure procurement, real estate negotiation, and strategic partnerships, supporting Anthropic's expansion of AI compute infrastructure.
You will lead the full lifecycle of data center transactions: identifying capacity opportunities through network relationships with developers, brokers, and power contacts; managing RFP processes and competitive sourcing across multiple Canadian markets; negotiating term sheets and LOIs that balance Anthropic's technical and business requirements with developer partnerships; and serving as the central point of contact ensuring seamless stakeholder alignment from sourcing through lease execution.
Key responsibilities include acting as project manager for cross-functional teams (legal, technical, finance, operations), coordinating due diligence and external counsel, managing transaction timelines and critical path tracking, and developing scalable transaction playbooks as Anthropic expands. You will also translate technical and operational requirements into contractual terms, manage complex digital infrastructure development activities to construction-ready state, and support long-term data center supply strategy.
This is a high-impact role in a fast-paced, ambiguous environment where processes are being built alongside execution. You'll work with diverse stakeholder groups across the organization and serve as liaison between internal teams and external partners including networks, deployments, and government relations.
