Strategic Compute Finance Lead
The Role
We are seeking a Strategic Compute Finance Lead to oversee the financial strategy, modeling, and deal execution for Andromeda’s global compute portfolio. This role will bridge infrastructure finance and commercial execution, focusing on the financial architecture supporting Andromeda’s acquisition, financing, and deployment of GPU compute at scale.
What You’ll Do
Lead financial planning and performance management across Andromeda’s GPU cluster portfolio — including NPV/IRR modeling, scenario analysis, and ROI evaluation for procurement decisions
Own the financial architecture of major infrastructure deals — modeling time-value-of-money trade-offs across long-term contract structures and build/lease/route decisions
Serve as Andromeda’s primary point of contact with lenders and debt partners — managing covenant reporting, draw schedules, and ongoing lender communications
Structure and raise financing packages that align debt terms with cluster deployment timelines and revenue ramp
Build and maintain multi-year capex forecasting models across procurement, energy, and operations
Work with the finance team to set capital allocation priorities and establish financial controls to manage spend at scale
What We’re Looking For
3+ years in infrastructure or project finance, private equity focused on physical assets (data centers, fiber, energy, or similar), or investment banking with an infrastructure focus — ideally a background that started in IB before moving into infrastructure PE
Hands-on experience building complex financial models involving hardware procurement, colocation, energy infrastructure, or other capital-intensive physical assets
Familiarity with the economics of GPU compute, data center operations, or cloud/neocloud business models — you understand what drives unit economics in compute infrastructure
Experience structuring or raising debt financing and managing lender relationships; able to translate financial analysis directly into deal terms
Ability to build financial frameworks from scratch where assumptions shift and data is incomplete — strong judgment on when to be precise vs. directional
Comfort operating in a lean, high-trust startup team with direct founder access; you’d rather build the process than inherit one
Why You’ll Love It Here
Impact: Own the financial infrastructure of one of the most capital-intensive businesses in AI — your models directly drive how Andromeda deploys capital
Real business: Meaningful deal flow, complex transactions, and direct line to founders
High-growth environment: Get in early at a company at the center of the AI infrastructure boom
Ownership: First finance hire shaping this function from the ground up
Competitive compensation: + meaningful equity
Comprehensive benefits: for you and your dependents, including healthcare, dental, and vision coverage, 401(k), and unlimited PTO
