Descrição da oferta de emprego

Lambda, The Superintelligence Cloud, is a leader in AI cloud infrastructure serving tens of thousands of customers. Our customers range from AI researchers to enterprises and hyperscalers. Lambda's mission is to make compute as ubiquitous as electricity and give everyone the power of superintelligence. One person, one GPU. If you'd like to build the world's best AI cloud, join us. Note: This position requires presence in our San Francisco office location 4 days per week; Lambda's designated work from home day is currently Tuesday.

About the Role

Each new site, each large customer deal, and each hardware purchase is a long-term commitment of capital. Bringing one of those decisions forward is a multi-team effort across Datacenter Operations, Supply Chain, Capital Markets and Sales. Strategic Finance's job is to make sure the capital we commit earns the best return it can.

We are hiring a Strategic Finance Lead to own the finance view in that process. You will work alongside the VP of Strategic Finance and be the finance partner to the people who find sites, buy hardware, raise capital and sign customers. Depending on where the business needs you, the same work extends to our unit economics and to how we price our public cloud. The job is less about producing a model and more about making sure the right questions get asked, the trade-offs are laid out plainly, and leadership can see what they are choosing between before they choose.

Two things matter most in this role. First, you have to be very good at working with people who are not in finance. You will spend most of your time with engineers, operators, buyers and deal makers, and your influence depends on them wanting you in the conversation. Second, you have to think in systems. We are growing fast, and the way we evaluate projects has to scale with us: consistent enough to compare one site to another, detailed enough to drill into when something looks off, and simple enough to summarize for a CEO in a page.

This is a senior individual contributor role. You will own your work end to end and set the standard for how Strategic Finance work is done.

What You'll Do

• Own the finance view of our project and deal decisions. From early screening through final approval, make sure every site, deal and major purchase is assessed with the same rigor, and that returns, risks and assumptions are visible to the people deciding.
• Create alignment across the company. Reach out to Datacenter Operations, Supply Chain, Capital Markets and Sales to agree on assumptions and on how a decision should be framed, early enough that finance rigor speeds the decision up rather than slowing it down.
• Frame the trade-offs. When we are choosing between sites, between customer opportunities, or between ways to finance something, lay out the decision points clearly and make the trade-offs explicit.
• Help leadership see the choice, not just the recommendation.
• Build the system. Design and maintain the systems, templates and review cadence that
