Strategic Deals Lead, Compute Infrastructure

About Anthropic Anthropic’s mission is to create reliable, interpretable, and steerable AI systems. We want AI to be safe and beneficial for our users and for society as a whole. Our team is a quickly growing group of committed researchers, engineers, policy experts, and business leaders working together to build beneficial AI systems. About the role As a Strategic Deals Lead, you will shape and execute Anthropic's partnerships with the hyperscalers and cloud service providers that supply the compute we train and serve frontier models on. As Anthropic scales its infrastructure footprint, you will originate, structure, negotiate, and close the deals that put that strategy into effect — securing large-scale compute capacity and, increasingly, shaping how Anthropic's models are distributed, priced, and sold through those same partners' platforms Securing that infrastructure at scale requires cultivating strong partnerships across the hyperscaler and cloud service provider ecosystem — partnerships that cut across compute, go-to-market, and product teams. These relationships span multi-year compute commitments, financing structures, model availability on the partner's platform, co-selling and marketplace arrangements, and joint go-to-market motions. You will be the person who connects those threads: working with engineering and infrastructure teams to understand what compute Anthropic needs, and with product, go-to-market, finance, and legal teams to make sure the commercial and distribution terms we agree to reinforce rather than constrain each other. We are looking for people who combine a deep understanding of cloud and AI infrastructure with strong strategic judgment, financial acumen, and the negotiating skill to close complex agreements at the terms and timelines Anthropic requires. You will be an integral part of a team focused on ensuring Anthropic has the resources it needs to pursue its mission of developing safe, beneficial AI systems. Key responsibilities Own

ABOUT BASETEN Baseten powers mission-critical inference for the world's most dynamic AI companies, like Cursor, Notion, OpenEvidence, Abridge, Clay, Gamma, and Writer. By uniting applied AI research, flexible infrastructure, and seamless developer tooling, we enable companies operating at the frontier of AI to bring cutting-edge models into production. We're growing quickly and recently raised our $1.5B Series F , led by Altimeter Capital, Conviction Partners, and Spark Capital. Join us and help build the platform engineers turn to ship AI products. THE ROLE This is a sourcing-first role, not a deal-closing role. Baseten needs someone who can build and maintain deep relationships across the long tail of data center and powered land providers, well beyond the handful of large, well-known players that everyone in the market is already competing for. This coverage area is a key differentiator for Baseten's broader compute strategy, so we're looking for the best possible person in this specific lane rather than a generalist. You'll own the full lifecycle of a sourcing relationship — from first outreach to ongoing management — not just the introduction. WHAT YOU'LL DO Build and maintain a comprehensive map of data center and powered land opportunities, with a particular focus on the long tail rather than the handful of major, oversubscribed players Own the full sourcing lifecycle for each relationship — from identifying and reaching out to new providers, through negotiation support, to ongoing relationship management — not just the initial introduction Develop and manage sourcing relationships across neoclouds, hyperscalers, brokers, and independent operators Quickly and independently evaluate new sites and spaces to determine fit and priority Prepare business cases and cost analysis to support new data center and powered land opportunities, partnering with Finance where needed Maintain accurate records of suppliers, contracts, and commercial terms so the team has a reli

THE ROLE This role owns Baseten's relationships and market intelligence across the hardware and chip layer of the compute stack: NVIDIA directly and key OEM partners such as Dell, Lenovo, Pegatron, and Supermicro. As Baseten's compute strategy increasingly depends on hardware access and terms, this role is central to keeping Baseten ahead of the market. RESPONSIBILITIES Build and maintain relationships across NVIDIA and key OEM partners (e.g. Dell, Supermicro) Track market intelligence on hardware availability, roadmaps, and terms to keep Baseten informed and strategically well-positioned Support deal structuring and negotiation in partnership with Baseten's deal-making function Work closely with Infrastructure and Hardware Platform engineering teams to ensure consistent, high-quality provider relationships and engineering partnerships Represent Baseten credibly across senior relationships in the hardware ecosystem, escalating to company leadership when strategically valuable REQUIREMENTS Existing relationships and credibility within the NVIDIA, OEM, and HPC ecosystem Strong relationship-management instincts, with the judgment to know when to bring in senior leadership for maximum impact Comfort operating in a fast-moving, high-stakes market where hardware access can be a major competitive differentiator Collaborative style — this role depends on close coordination with engineering counterparts, not just external relatio

SpaceX was founded under the belief that a future where humanity is out exploring the stars is fundamentally more exciting than one where we are not. Today, SpaceX is actively developing the technologies to make this possible, with the ultimate goal of making life multiplanetary and expanding consciousness to the stars. SpaceXSI is building Super Intelligence to help humanity understand the universe. Our teams are building the full Super Intelligence stack: from our Colossus supercomputers, to Grok models, to our suite of applications, including Grok Bot, Grok Build, Grok Imagine, Grok Voice, and X. We're creating a powerful flywheel where more compute trains better models, better models power more useful products, and what we learn from people using those products shapes what we build next. About the role As RVP, Strategic Sales for our HiTech vertical, you'll build and lead the organization responsible for revenue growth across our biggest segment. You'll hire and develop frontline sales leaders, set territory and account strategy at scale, and personally engage in the most strategic, executive-level relationships in the region. You'll partner with engineering leaders — from CTOs to VPs of Engineering — to show how SpaceXAI transforms developer productivity, and drive a land-and-expand motion across sophisticated software companies. This is a second-line leadership role: you'll scale through managers who lead high-performing Account Executives, while staying close enough to the business to shape strategy, unblock deals, and set the bar for excellence. It requires deep technical fluency, command of complex enterprise buying processes, and a genuine passion for AI-powered developer tools. You'll be a foundational leader in our enterprise sales organization. What you’ll do Build, hire, and lead a team of frontline sales leaders (and, through them, a high-performing Strategic AE organization); own forecasting, pipeline health, and quota attainment across the region.
