## About the Role

* 5+ years of experience in financial planning, corporate finance, or capital allocation, ideally somewhere capital-intensive (infrastructure, utilities, real estate, or similar) where you've weighed committed capacity or capex against risk
 * Comfort with probabilistic thinking, distributions, expected value, tail risk, enough to work with a technical model someone else built without needing to build it yourself
 * Technical curiosity to pick up unfamiliar infrastructure concepts quickly
 * SQL proficiency, or similar, to pull and validate data yourself
 * Experience partnering with Product Management on pricing or product decisions
 * Enough contract fluency to work through what's allowed under existing customer agreements
 * Comfort holding a position under pressure from stakeholders who want to move faster than the risk picture supports

Bonus Points:

 * Familiarity with GPU cloud economics
 * Knowledge of data center design and utilization metrics
 * Experience with interruptible, spot, or committed-use pricing models

## Description

* Identify and size opportunities where built or committed data center capacity, power, compute, or otherwise, isn't converting to revenue
 * Partner with Capacity Planning, Product Management, and deal desk or legal to understand the technical, contractual, and commercial constraints behind each opportunity
 * Translate probabilistic or technical models, built by Capacity Planning or others, into financial terms: expected value, cost of getting it wrong, and a recommended course of action
 * Make the call on how much risk to take in exploiting a given gap, and defend that call to stakeholders across engineering, product, and leadership
 * Build durable financial frameworks for opportunities once they're proven out, while still fielding live decisions on things already in motion
