Supply Chain Delivery Manager, Data Center Power & Cooling OFE

Anthropic is bringing data center capacity online faster than the industry has ever attempted. The owner-furnished equipment (OFE) that makes a site live is long-lead, high-value, and sits squarely on the construction critical path. We're hiring a Supply Chain Delivery Manager to own that equipment from purchase order to dock.

You will be the site-facing supply chain lead for a regional portfolio of data center projects. Your job is to make sure equipment production and delivery are never the reason a site misses its ready-for-service date.

This is a senior individual-contributor role on the Compute DC Infrastructure team. The emphasis is execution: schedules, escalations, logistics, and site readiness.

Responsibilities

Delivery Planning and Schedule Integration

• Own the end-to-end OFE delivery plan for each site in your portfolio: order placement, engineering submittal/approval milestones, production slots, FAT dates, ship dates, and required-on-site (ROS) dates, integrated with the GC's construction schedule.
• Engage during preconstruction with Construction, Engineering, and the GC to set OFE delivery expectations, sequence equipment arrivals to the build, and identify schedule risk before POs are cut.
• Lead OFE kickoff meetings at the site level with the GC and internal construction teams, establishing points of contact, delivery windows, receiving requirements, and escalation paths.
• Maintain the single source of truth for OFE status across the portfolio , a live tracker of every line item, its milestone dates, and its risk rating.

Supplier Execution and Escalation

• Run weekly delivery cadences with OEMs and integrators on open orders; verify production progress against committed slots rather than accepting reported dates at face value.
• Act as the primary escalation point for factory slips, component shortages, FAT failures, and shipping delays; drive recovery plans (expedites, partial ships, resequencing, alternate sources) with Sourcing and Engineering.
• Partner with Sourcing on corporate-level supplier escalations, bringing site-level schedule intelligence to commercial conversations.
• Hold GC OFCI teams accountable for receiving, storage, and installation-readiness performance; manage the change/claim process when delivery issues affect the GC's schedule.

Logistics and Site Readiness

• Plan and coordinate transportation for oversize/overweight and high-value equipment , carrier selection, route surveys, permits, crane and rigging coordination , with our logistics partners and the GC.
• Manage laydown, staging, and interim storage decisions when site readiness and equipment arrival diverge; coordinate with Quality and Commissioning on receiving inspection and storage/preservation requirements.
• Ensure equipment arrives complete , accessories, spares, documentation, and vendor startup support scheduled , so installation and commissioning are not delayed by missing pieces.

Risk Management and Reporting

• Identify, triage, and report delivery risks across the portfolio; propose solutions and drive decisions to protect capacity milestones.
• Establish and lead recurring Capacity Delivery Reviews giving leadership converged visibility into OFE delivery status and risk by site and by equipment category.
• Track delivery KPIs , on-time-to-ROS, schedule drift by supplier and category, escalation cycle time, expedite spend , and use them to surface systemic issues.
• Feed lessons learned back into Sourcing (lead-time assumptions, contract delivery terms, buffer strategy) and Construction (ROS sequencing) to improve the next program.

Requirements

• 8–12+ years in supply chain delivery, equipment expediting, construction management, or infrastructure program management on large-scale, schedule-driven construction programs.
• Hands-on experience delivering power and/or cooling equipment for mission-critical facilities , transformers, switchgear, generators, UPS, busway, chillers, CDUs, air handlers , and familiarity with how those OEMs actually build and ship.
• You've managed cross-functional escalations across construction teams, suppliers, and internal partners, and you know when to expedite, when to resequence, and when to escalate commercially.
• Comfortable reading and influencing construction schedules (P6 or MS Project) and tying equipment milestones to them.
• Strong written and verbal communication , you can turn a messy delivery problem into a one-page recommendation for leadership.
• Data-fluent: you build and maintain trackers and dashboards, and you'd rather look at the numbers than trust a status email.
• Thrive with high autonomy in a fast-moving, ambiguous environment; you own outcomes, not just updates.
• Bachelor's degree in Supply Chain, Engineering, Construction Management, or a related field, or equivalent experience.

Nice to Have

• Experience with hyperscale or AI data center construction and OFCI (owner-furnished, contractor-installed) delivery models.
• Experience supporting multiple concurrent projects (5–10+) across a regional portfolio.
• Working knowledge of FAT/SAT and commissioning workflows and how equipment documentation gates them.
• Heavy-haul / project logistics experience, including international freight, customs, and Incoterms.
• Technical understanding of data center electrical distribution and cooling system design.
• Familiarity with ERP/procurement systems and analytics tools (SQL, Power BI/Tableau, Smartsheet/Procore).
• PMP, CSCP, or similar certification.

Logistics

• Location: Remote-Friendly, United States
• Travel: up to 40% to construction sites in the regional portfolio and to supplier factories as needed.

Compensation

• Annual Salary: $320,000-$405,000 USD
