Job summary

Runpod is a remote-first AI Dev Cloud seeking a Finance Manager for Infrastructure & Capacity. You will own the financial view of the GPU fleet, forecast capacity needs, and model the revenue impact of bring-up timing.

This hands-on role builds processes from scratch and collaborates with Infrastructure, Sales, and Data Center Operations to align demand with available capacity. You will drive tranches, monitor utilization, and shape ownership models while delivering decision-ready analysis.

Qualifications

• 4+ years of experience in finance, FP&A, corporate development, or a related analytical role, with a strong foundation in financial modeling and forecasting.
• Advanced proficiency in Excel/Google Sheets modeling, including capex, cash flow, and return analysis (NPV, IRR, payback).
• Comfort working with large operational datasets and BI tools to turn raw usage data into decision-ready analysis.
• Comfort driving ambiguous initiatives to completion with minimal supervision.
• Strong negotiation and communication skills, with the ability to translate data into clear recommendations for business stakeholders.
• Successful completion of a background check.

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.
