About the role
Fal is hiring for a role that owns the economics and negotiation of fal's largest compute deals, typically $100M+ capacity agreements with neoclouds and OEMs. The role involves financial and commercial diligence, unit economics, negotiation, deal sourcing, market pricing, and decision support to leadership.
Responsibilities
- Financial and commercial diligence. Lead diligence on every major compute deal: build the model, stress-test the assumptions, and assess the counterparty's ability to deliver.
- Unit economics. Own the economics behind fal's compute commitments: cost per GPU-hour, utilization assumptions, commitment structure, and the impact on margin and cash.
- Negotiation. Lead negotiations on $100M+ capacity agreements with neoclouds and OEMs, covering price, term, commitments, deposits and payment timing, and SLAs and remedies. Work with legal through to signature.
- Deal sourcing and pipeline. Source and manage new deals alongside our sourcing team, and keep a live view of what's in the pipeline and what it would cost.
- Market pricing. Track rates by GPU generation, region and contract term, so every deal is judged against the market.
- Decision support. Bring clear recommendations to leadership and partner with Finance and our fleet operations team on what to commit to and when.
Qualifications
- A bachelor's degree in finance, economics, business, engineering or a related quantitative field.
- 5+ years of experience, starting in investment banking, private equity, infrastructure investing or project finance.
- Expert financial modeling: you build models from scratch and stress-test them.
- Experience executing or negotiating large transactions.
- Clear communication with technical and non-technical audiences.
- Data center, energy, compute or infrastructure deal experience.
- Exposure to neoclouds, hyperscalers, GPU OEMs or colocation providers.
- Time in a corporate or startup finance or BizOps seat after banking or PE.
