About the company
the company's mission is to create reliable, interpretable, and steerable AI systems.
We want AI to be safe and beneficial for our users and for society as a whole.
Our team is a quickly growing group of committed researchers, engineers, policy experts, and business leaders working together to build beneficial AI systems.
About the role
Training and serving frontier AI models requires data center capacity at a scale and pace that conventional delivery models were not built for.
the company's Data Center Capacity Delivery team embeds with developers, general contractors, and third-party partners to take leased and partnered sites from deal close through floor access and operational handover as fast as they can safely be built.
As a Regional Manager, you'll own delivery across a regional portfolio of active and upcoming projects.
You'll build and lead the team of Senior Delivery Managers and third-party partners who sit on those sites, set the standards they execute to, and step in yourself where a project needs it.
You are the executive-level interface to our developer partners in the region and the intake point for projects handed over from our transaction team.
This is a highly cross-functional role: you'll work daily with our transaction, design engineering, facility operations and commissioning, deployment, and safety teams, and with developers, GCs, and owner's-representative firms on the ground.
MOC (Mission + Outcomes + Competencies)Mission
Deliver the region's data center projects to floor access as fast as they can safely be built.
Outcomes
Every active project in the region delivered against early-floor-access and floor-access milestones.
Senior Delivery Manager team hired and led; owner's-rep partners contracted and managed.
Delivery standards (schedule, quality, change control, reporting) enforced across the portfolio.
Executive reporting on progress vs plan and regional capacity projections in place.
Competencies
Senior owner- or GC-side mission-critical delivery leadership.
Builds and leads multi-project teams.
Executive-level developer and GC relationship management.
Leads on site through presence; owns outcomes where no process exists.
Responsibilities
Lead.
This is a role where leadership trumps management and process.




You are expected to be on the region's sites enough to shape the culture, approach, and aggressiveness that define the extended teams there — across the portfolio, not one project — and to impact outcomes in a favorable manner.
Be a force multiplier.
Hire, develop, empower, and lead the Senior Delivery Managers on those sites, and raise the skillset developers, contractors, owner's-rep partners, and key trades bring to every project in the region; plan resourcing and headcount as the portfolio grows.
Own portfolio execution for the region — schedule, quality, and safety outcomes on every active project, measured against early-floor-access and floor-access milestones.
You are empowered and have autonomy to own this region's record of performance.
Drive ownership and influence both inside and outside contractual structures: select, scope, contract, and manage owner's-rep and project-management partners; where contracts, incentives, or culture get in the way of speed, change them, and replace partners when performance or culture slips
Set and enforce delivery standards across projects — integrated schedule, quality requirements, change control, reporting, and tools — and validate that they are met
Identify blockers early and clear them across developer, GC, and trade layers; step in on site where a project needs it
You may be a good fit if you
Have 10+ years delivering data center or other mission-critical construction, including several as the owner's or GC's senior leader on a project campus
Have led a multi-project portfolio and built the team that delivered it
Know the end-to-end development process — entitlements and permitting, design, long-lead equipment, construction, commissioning, and handover — well enough to direct partners rather than take their word for it
Have managed developer, GC,



and third-party relationships at the executive level and can move them from arm's-length contract administration to shared urgency
Lead through presence: you expect to be on site most of the time and to set the pace and culture of extended teams you don't directly employ
Communicate clearly with technical and non-specialist stakeholders and hold a position when challenged
Are comfortable with ambiguity and with owning outcomes where no process exists yet
Strong candidates may also have
Hyperscale data center delivery experience on the owner, developer, or GC side
Experience with the Australian and Japanese/Korean market — its contractors, permitting regimes, and contractual norms
Familiarity with lease, construction, and development contract structures and how to align their incentives around speed
Minimum education
Bachelor's degree or an equivalent combination of education, training, and/or experience
Required field of study
A field relevant to the role as demonstrated through coursework, training, or professional experience
Minimum years of experience
Years of experience required will correlate with the internal job level requirements for the position
Location-based hybrid policy
Currently, we expect all staff to be in one of our offices at least 25% of the time.
However, some roles may require more time in our offices.
Visa sponsorship
We do sponsor visas!
However, we aren't able to successfully sponsor visas for every role and every candidate.
But if we make you an offer, we will make every reasonable effort to get you a visa, and we retain an immigration lawyer to help with this.
We encourage you to apply even if you do not believe you meet every single qualification.
Not all strong candidates will meet every single qualification as listed.
Research shows that people who identify as being from underrepresented groups are more prone to experiencing imposter syndrome and doubting the strength of their candidacy, so we urge you not to exclude yourself prematurely and to submit an application if you're interested in this work.
We think AI systems like the ones we're building have enormous social and ethical implications.
We think this makes representation even more key, and we strive to include a range of diverse perspectives on our team.
