Responsibilities

  • Lead the RFP and commercial sourcing process for European data center deals, managing developer outreach, proposal evaluation, and competitive selection across multiple markets
  • Negotiate term sheets and manage the LOI process, structuring commercial terms that meet technical and business requirements while maintaining strong developer partnerships
  • Create the bridge from LOI to executed transaction, ensuring all commercial, technical, and legal requirements are satisfied for deal closure
  • Serve as project manager for cross-functional stakeholder engagement — coordinating due diligence teams, internal and external legal counsel, network organization, platform engineers, and finance to ensure alignment prior to lease execution
  • Act as the single point of contact for auxiliary organizations including networks, deployments, and government relations, providing regular updates on transaction progress and leasing status
  • Develop and maintain transaction timelines, tracking critical-path items and proactively identifying risks that could impact deal closure
  • Ensure all stakeholder requirements are captured and addressed in commercial agreements, translating technical and operational needs into contractual terms
  • Manage complex digital infrastructure development activities to a construction-ready state, through a developer or directly
  • Marry the right projects, capital stacks, and developers at the right stages
  • Navigate country-specific permitting, grid connection, and regulatory requirements that vary across European markets
  • Document and refine transaction processes and playbooks to enable scalable deal execution as Anthropic expands its infrastructure footprint across the region
  • Partner with the Compute Markets Manager to prioritize markets, sites, and counterparties, and feed deal learnings back into Europe market strategy

Qualifications

  • Have 10+ years of experience in transaction management, commercial real estate, data center leasing, or infrastructure procurement
  • Possess a proven track record of managing complex, multi-stakeholder transactions from sourcing through execution
  • Have strong negotiation skills with experience structuring term sheets, LOIs, and commercial agreements
  • Excel at project management and can coordinate across legal, technical, finance, and operational teams simultaneously
  • Have experience with RFP processes and competitive sourcing for large-scale infrastructure or real estate transactions
  • Have experience working in or across European markets, with knowledge of the regional data center and development landscape — including established FLAP-D hubs and emerging markets like the Nordics and Southern Europe
  • Are comfortable operating across multiple countries with different legal frameworks, languages, and business cultures
  • Are highly organized with strong attention to detail while maintaining focus on strategic deal objectives
  • Can operate effectively in fast-paced, ambiguous environments where processes are being built alongside execution
