About the Role
Firmus is building one of the world's most ambitious AI infrastructure projects, aiming to deploy approximately 2 million GPUs by 2028. This role is critical for managing relationships with our largest strategic GPU capacity customers, who spend or are projected to spend over $1 billion annually. It's a commercial leadership position focused on account ownership, capacity commercialization, and cross-functional delivery orchestration, with the potential to build and lead a team.
Responsibilities
- Own end-to-end account leadership for Firmus’s largest GPU capacity customers, acting as the primary commercial point of contact and executive-level relationship owner.
- Translate customer AI compute roadmaps into structured, multi-year Gigascale GPU capacity commitments, working closely with capacity planning and network engineering teams.
- Lead deal structuring and negotiation for large, complex, multi-hundred-million to billion-dollar contracts, including pricing, terms, delivery milestones, and expansion rights.
- Own the executive governance cadence for each account — running quarterly and executive business reviews with customer and Firmus leadership — to keep commitments, performance, and escalations visible at the highest level.
- Own end-to-end delivery outcomes for your accounts, leading a dedicated coverage pod — Solution Architecture, Customer Success, Technical Program Management, and Engineering (SDI/Network/Platform) — and coordinating cross-functionally with finance, legal, and executive leadership to ensure customer commitments are met on schedule and risks are surfaced early.
- Own the customer feedback loop into Firmus engineering — capturing technical issues, capacity requirements, and roadmap requests from your accounts and translating them into clear input for engineering and product priorities.
- Drive the evolution of account coverage from shared pods (currently two accounts per pod) toward dedicated, single-customer pods as individual account requirements and scale justify a fully dedicated team.
- Identify and execute account growth opportunities as customer compute needs scale, while maintaining clear executive reporting on strategic account health, pipeline, capacity utilisation, and risk.
Requirements
- 10 + years in strategic account management, enterprise/complex sales, or commercial leadership in cloud infrastructure, data centre, semiconductor, or AI compute markets.
- Direct experience selling, negotiating, or managing large-scale GPU/compute capacity contracts, ideally with a hyperscaler, neocloud, or AI infrastructure background.
- Demonstrated ability to manage $500M+ commercial relationships, ideally with exposure to Billion $ + scale accounts.
- Strong technical fluency in GPU infrastructure, able to speak credibly to customers on capacity planning, deployment timelines, networking architecture, and power and data centre constraints.
- Track record of operating with significant autonomy in ambiguous, high-growth environments.
- Comfort operating as an individual contributor initially, with the ambition and capability to build and lead a team as the function matures.
