The opportunity Join the Office of the CEO and work directly on Flexport's highest-priority problems alongside the CEO, the President, and the leaders who run our regions and modes of freight. You will pick up a mode or a region, ocean, air, trucking, omnichannel, or customs, and learn it from the inside by solving real problems in it. Pricing in a mode that is losing money. Why a region misses its plan. Whether we buy, build, or partner. Then you go run part of it. Some people in this role move into a business unit as the number two to the leader who runs it. Some stay at the center and take on more scope. The operating job at the end is the point of the role, not a side benefit. You will: Own our biggest open questions end to end and come back with recommendations the CEO can act on. Build the analysis yourself. Pull the data, build the model, find the error before someone else does. Go to where the work happens, from warehouses and ports to a customer's supply chain team. Opinions about freight formed in a conference room are usually wrong. Run the operating cadence for a freight mode or region. Weekly metrics, quarterly plan, and the follow-ups nobody wants to

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. ABOUT 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. WHAT YOU'LL DO 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 WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR 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 ex

Join us and help build the platform engineers turn to ship AI products. ABOUT THE TEAM Supply is responsible for knowing everything happening in the compute market: who's building, who's buying, and on what terms. This role owns a specific and fast-moving slice of that map — emerging clouds and international markets — and owns the full relationship lifecycle in that space, from first outreach through to closed terms. RESPONSIBILITIES Build and maintain a real-time picture of the emerging cloud and international compute landscape — who's active, what they're building, and what terms are available Own the full partnership lifecycle in this space — from identifying and sourcing new providers, to negotiating terms, to ongoing relationship management Develop and manage relationships across a broad set of emerging and international providers, from account reps up through leadership Identify, structure, and help close opportunities where Baseten can move quickly to secure favorable capacity terms Define compelling value propositions tailored to different types of providers, rather than a one-size-fits-all pitch Partner closely with others in the team already covering this space to build out a durable, well-organized intelligence and relationship function Collaborate with the broader Supply and Deals functions to bring opportunities to the table and support negotiation when it's time to close WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR Equal parts relationship-builder and operator — you can open a door and also drive it

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 role owns Baseten's relationships and market intelligence across hyperscalers and strategic neoclouds, including NVIDIA cloud partners. This is a technical and commercial role in equal measure: you'll evaluate capacity from the GPU to the data center, negotiate cost and terms with suppliers, and stay close enough to the market to develop and defend a real point of view on where it's heading. Given current market conditions, Baseten needs a much stronger pulse on this part of the market so we can track pricing, stay close to the right relationships, and move fast the moment more capacity is needed. This is a senior, experienced hire who will also help pair with and develop 1-2 junior to mid-level teammates covering the same space. WHAT YOU'LL DO Build and maintain deep relationships across hyperscalers and strategic neoclouds (including NVIDIA cloud partners), working each organization from top to bottom rather than a single point of contact Maintain a consistent, "top of mind" presence with key accounts so Baseten is positioned to move quickly when capacity needs arise Evaluate capacity from the GPU to the data center — hardware generation, rack and node configuration, interconnect, power density, and cooling — so you know what a configuration will actually deliver, not just what the spec sheet claims Live in compute pricing daily: track rates by GPU generation, region, and contract term to keep Baseten inf

At Vanta, our mission is to help businesses earn and prove trust. We believe that security should be monitored and verified continuously, and we empower companies to practice better security and prove it with ease. Vanta has a kind and talented team, and while some have prior security experience, many have been successful at Vanta without it. As an Enterprise Account Executive at Vanta, you will play a critical role in expanding our footprint in the Enterprise segment through net-new logo acquisition. This is a high-impact role focused on a land and expand model, requiring a results-driven seller capable of closing 5+ six-figure opportunities per quarter. You’ll be joining a team that is building and scaling our upmarket motion, and you’ll help shape Vanta’s strategy and execution in some of our most strategic segments. This role requires someone who is equally confident navigating complex deals independently and working cross-functionally with product, engineering, and the channel. Success in this role means driving full-cycle deals from prospecting through close - both directly and through partners. At Vanta, our mission is to help businesses earn and prove trust. We believe security should be monitored and verified continuously, and we empower companies to practice better security and prove it with ease. The ideal candidate for this role at Vanta has prior security or adjacent domain experience. We’re growing quickly, continually outpacing our targets and leading the market in compliance and security. If you’re excited by the opportunity to drive strategic, high-value deals and work in a fast-paced, high-growth environment—we’d love to hear from you. What you’ll do as an Enterprise Account Executive at Vanta: Own and drive net-new business acquisition within the Enterprise segment Close 5+ six-figure opportunities per quarter, managing the full sales cycle from initial outreach through contract execution Build and maintain a strong pipeline through outbound prosp

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

Join us and help build the platform engineers turn to ship AI products. THE ROLE Baseten's Compute org is in hyper growth. As it scales, the systems and workflows that keep supply and demand balanced across our GPU fleet need to get more sophisticated, and this role exists to make sure they do. Compute sits at the center of how Baseten allocates, forecasts, and manages the capacity that powers every customer inference request. The team that supports this work, C3, runs on a mix of internal tooling, manual processes, and systems that haven't fully kept pace with the scale of the problem. This role exists to close that gap. You'll design, build, and ship AI-powered workflows that give the Compute and C3 teams real leverage, automating the manual, repetitive, and error-prone parts of the capacity lifecycle so the team can focus on judgment calls that actually need a human. We want someone who can walk in, audit what exists today, identify what's missing or broken, and start shipping fast. You know when to reach for an existing internal tool and when to build something custom in Claude Code. You think two to three steps ahead about how the thing you build today fits into the broader capacity systems architecture tomorrow. And you bring a point of view on our stack, on what we should be building, and on where AI can do something existing tooling simply can't. RESPONSIBILITIES Ship AI-powered workflows for Compute and C3 : build the agents and automations that give capacity analysts, ops leads, an
