Responsibilities
• Maintain a live view of available capacity across GPU types and datacenters, and serve as the company's source of truth for what we have, what's sold, and what's coming. • Drive fill on upcoming tranches of capacity, partnering with Sales and Infrastructure to line up committed demand ahead of bring-up. • Monitor utilization across the existing fleet, flagging underperforming SKUs, datacenters, and node groups and driving the pricing or placement changes that fix them. • Evaluate alternate methods of GPU ownership — revenue share, leasing, and direct purchase — and recommend the right structure for each opportunity. • Forecast cash requirements for new capacity commitments and existing lease renewals, and own the capacity capex plan. • Model the revenue impact of bring-up timing, tracking schedule slippage against plan and quantifying the cost of delay. • Evaluate and monitor non-GPU infrastructure investments, including storage and CPU capacity. • Build the unit economics of the fleet — contribution margin by GPU type, datacenter, and host — and set the pricing floors and return hurdles that capacity decisions are measured against. • Support commercial negotiations with hosts and datacenter partners, modeling term sheets, revenue-share splits, and lease economics. • Run scenario and risk analysis on the supply book, including GPU price deflation, the contract expiration ladder, host and datacenter concentration, and residual value or redeployment of aging SKUs. • Own the capacity reporting layer — fill, utilization, and margin definitions and dashboards — and the post-commitment variance analysis that measures each tranche against its underwriting case.
