Descripción de la vacante

Baseten is seeking a Capacity Strategy & Operations professional to own end-to-end capacity planning in San Francisco. You will translate customer commitments and growth forecasts into GPU demand, coordinate with Finance for capacity scenarios, and align procurement with forward demand.

This role combines strategic thinking with hands-on execution in a fast-paced startup environment. You will lead a cross-functional war room when deployments are at risk, build scalable processes, and deliver

Formación

• 5+ years of experience in strategy, operations, consulting, finance, or a similarly analytical and execution-oriented role.
• Demonstrated ability to own complex, cross-functional processes with multiple stakeholders and competing priorities.
• Strong quantitative and modeling skills—comfortable building demand forecasts, scenario analyses, and capacity models from scratch.
• Excellent communication skills, with a track record of distilling ambiguous situations into clear recommendations for senior leadership.
• High ownership mindset: you identify what is broken, build the fix, and follow through until it is working.
• Operates well under pressure and in ambiguous, fast-moving environments where the playbook does not yet exist.

Responsabilidades

• Own the capacity planning process end to end: intake, triage, prioritization, fulfillment tracking, and post-mortem learnings.
• Translate customer commitments, sales pipeline, and infrastructure growth targets into concrete GPU demand forecasts across regions, GPU types, and timelines.
• Partner with Finance to model capacity scenarios, evaluate new supply opportunities, and support CapEx decision-making.
• Work closely with the Capacity Acquisition team to align supply procurement with forward demand, flagging gaps and risks early.
• Coordinate cross-functionally across Sales, SRE, and Infrastructure teams to resolve capacity conflicts and ensure customer commitments are honored.
• Build and maintain the operational cadence that keeps capacity planning structured, visible, and free of ad-hoc Slack chaos.
• Develop reporting and dashboards that give leadership a real-time view of capacity health, utilization trends, and risk exposure.
• Identify recurring operational gaps in the capacity lifecycle and drive process improvements that reduce toil and improve reliability.
