About the job
About Anthropic
Anthropic's mission is to create reliable, interpretable, and steerable AI systems. The team is a quickly growing group of researchers, engineers, policy experts, and business leaders working to build beneficial AI systems.
About the role
Anthropic's Global Workplace & Real Estate team is delivering a rapidly expanding global portfolio, including full-building offices at the scale of ~450,000 SF with commercial kitchens, executive briefing centers, event space, high-end amenities, and elevated power, cooling, and security infrastructure. We're hiring a Real Estate Construction Manager to lead technical delivery of these projects from pre-construction through closeout and serve as the primary technical counterpart to general contractors, design teams, and specialty vendors. This is a hands-on construction leadership role, not a design role. The role reports to the Global Head of Real Estate & Workplace.
Key responsibilities
- Lead pre-construction on complex buildouts: constructibility and design/drawing reviews, MEP and structural coordination, estimating support, value engineering, and development of the GMP or bid package.
- Recommend and own the delivery method and contracting strategy for each project (e.g., GMP, lump sum, CM-at-risk, design-assist).
- Coordinate technically demanding scopes — commercial kitchens, high-performance AV and acoustics, server/IDF rooms with redundant power and supplemental cooling, elevated power density, and integrated physical security.
- Oversee construction from mobilization through closeout across multiple concurrent projects; run RFIs, submittals, ASIs, and BIM/clash coordination; lead owner-architect-contractor and trade-coordination meetings.
- Drive commissioning and closeout — systems commissioning, TCO/CO, as-builts, O&M manuals, warranties, and owner training.
- Lead GC selection end to end and structure contracts; negotiate and administer contracts with contractors, vendors, and consultants.
- Build and own detailed budgets by trade/CSI division; review and approve budgets, change orders, and invoices; govern the change-order process.
- Directly manage and develop a team of Real Estate / Construction Project Managers.
- Partner closely with internal stakeholders — Security, IT, Facilities, Finance, and business teams.
Qualifications
Minimum qualifications include a Bachelor's degree in Construction Management, Engineering, Architecture, Real Estate, or a related field; deep hands-on construction expertise; command of delivery methods and contract structures; experience delivering technically complex scopes; strong pre-construction and cost/commercial controls; budgets from $50M to $300M+; permitting across multiple jurisdictions; direct management of project managers; proficiency with construction PM software (e.g., Procore) and CPM scheduling tools (e.g., Primavera P6 or MS Project); and willingness to travel 25–50%.
Preferred qualifications include 10+ years in corporate real estate construction management, PMP and OSHA 30 certifications, LEED accreditation, commissioning experience, an established vendor network, international project experience, and high-growth technology environment experience.
Compensation
Annual Salary: $275,000—$315,000 USD.
