We've built a versatile cloud platform that eliminates infrastructure barriers, empowering builders to focus on innovation instead of fighting their stack. Because breakthrough AI should move at the speed of ideas, not infrastructure.\nAbout the Role\nTensorWave operates AMD Instinct GPU clusters across multiple U.S. data center sites. As we scale, the ability to see, forecast, and commit capacity with confidence is a core competitive advantage. The Head of GPU Capacity Planning owns that picture.\nThis person elevates our existing capacity planning processes, drives capacity planning end to end, and maintains a single, authoritative view of the fleet: what we have, what is committed, what is held in reserve, and what is available to sell. They partner closely with Sales to guide sellable capacity, work across active deals to keep commitments feasible, and establish a weekly cadence so capacity is tracked and defended every week rather than reconstructed after the fact. They also translate operating pain into clear tooling requirements that improve how the whole company plans capacity.\nIf remote, candidate would need to travel to Vegas on a monthly basis.\nWhat You’ll Do\nMaintain a single source of truth for total, committed, reserved, and available-to-sell capacity across every site and GPU generation, reconciling physical fleet inventory (installed, in burn-in, held as spares, in RMA) against logical and contracted allocations.\n\nStandardize how capacity is defined, measured, and reported so definitions are consistent and every stakeholder is reading from the same numbers.\n\nOwn demand pipeline and track contracted ramp on curves, steady state consumption, expiries, renewal probability, and take or pay floors, with weighted pipeline maintained separately and never blended into the committed view.\n\nDefine and publish sellable capacity by site, GPU type, and timeframe, and give Sales a clear, current view of what can be committed and when.\n\nPartner with Sales and Deal Desk across active deals to validate feasibility before commitments are made, flagging oversubscription risk and allocation conflicts early.\n\nOwn the multi-year capacity strategy and act as the connective tissue between Infrastructure Operations, Sales, Finance, and leadership, ensuring the long-range plan reflects real fleet capability.\n\nAnticipate where capacity constraints will emerge quarters ahead, and drive the cross-functional decisions (deployments, reservations, site expansion) needed to stay ahead of demand.\n\nOwn the buffer and oversubscription policy in partnership with Operations and Finance, and keep those rules visible and enforced.\n\nTranslate the sales pipeline and contracted growth into a rolling capacity forecast, identifying shortfalls and the lead time needed to close them.\n\nCoordinate with Infrastructure Operations, Global Operations, and supply chain on incoming capacity (racks, nodes, power, cooling, network) so delivery timelines align with committed and forecast demand.\n\nAct as the connective tissue for capacity decisions, connecting Ops, Sales, Finance, PMO, and the data center teams around one plan.\n\nRun the weekly capacity review and produce the weekly capacity report and dashboard for leadership, Sales, and Finance.\n\nTrack committed versus available capacity every week with an auditable record of allocations, changes, and the decisions behind them.\n\nAssess and elevate current capacity planning processes, document the standards and workflows, and raise the maturity of how we plan.\n\nDefine and prioritize tooling requirements for capacity, inventory, and allocation systems (DCIM, dashboards, tracking), and partner with IT, Engineering, and vendors on a build-versus-buy path.\n\nWho You Are\nRequired Qualifications\n5+ years in capacity planning, supply and demand planning, S&OP, technical program management, or infrastructure operations, ideally in cloud, data center, or hardware-intensive environments.\n\nWorking knowledge of data center and compute infrastructure fundamentals: racks, power and cooling constraints, servers and GPUs, and networking, with the ability to reason about both physical and logical capacity.\n\nAdvanced modeling skills and comfort building forecasting and allocation models; strong data fluency (SQL and BI tools a plus).\n\nA track record of working across Sales, Finance, and Operations, translating technical constraints into commercial guidance that others can act on.\n\nExcellent written communication and the discipline to run a recurring operating cadence and produce clear, trusted reporting.\n\nPreferred Qualifications\nExperience in GPU cloud, HPC, hyperscale, colocation, or semiconductor capacity environments.\n\nFamiliarity with Slurm and Kubernetes cluster capacity, GPU fleet management, and utilization metrics.\n\nExperience writing requirements for and standing up DCIM, capacity, or inventory tooling.\n\nProgram management certification (PMP or equivalent).\n\nWhat We Offer\nStock Options\n\n100% paid Medical, Dental, and Vision insurance for Employees\n\nCompany Health Savings Account Contributions\n\n100% paid Short Term and Long Term Disability Insurance for Employees\n\nLife and Voluntary Supplemental Insurance Options\n\nOther Insurance Options, such as Pet & Legal Insurance\n\nVarious Supplementary Health Benefits, such as discounted Virtual Healthcare Appointments and Serious Illness Support\n\nFlexible Spending Account\n\n401(k)\n\nEmployee Assistance Program\n\nFlexible PTO\n\nPaid Holidays\n\nParental Leave\n\nOther In-Office Perks\n\nEqual Employment Opportunity\nTensorWave is an Equal Opportunity Employer.
