Founding Business Development Lead – GPU & AI Infrastructure

Commission-based | Remote | Europe preferred | Initial 3-month mandate We own www.gpu.consulting (and gpu.team) and are building a specialist, independent consultancy focused on one of the fastest-growing cost and infrastructure challenges in AI: How do companies get more performance and business value from their GPU compute — without overspending? We're looking for an entrepreneurial Founding Business Development Lead to help launch GPU.consulting commercially and run the business-development side during its first six months. This is not a lead-generation gig. We are looking for someone who can talk credibly with CTOs, CIOs, Heads of AI, ML Infrastructure leaders and technical founders, identify genuine GPU infrastructure challenges, and turn those conversations into consulting engagements. What you'll sell Our entry product is the GPU Assessment. We independently assess a company's AI/GPU workloads, infrastructure, performance and economics and help answer questions such as: Are we using the right GPU infrastructure? Are we getting enough utilization from our GPUs? Should we buy or rent GPU capacity? Cloud, specialized GPU cloud, on-premise or hybrid? Where are we overspending? How will our infrastructure economics change at 10× usage? Can inference/training performance be improved? How should we scale our AI infrastructure? Should sensitive workloads move toward private or sovereign AI infrastructure? From there, accounts can expand into GPU architecture, performance optimization, GPU FinOps, procurement advisory, private AI infrastructure and ongoing engineering support. We advise on infrastructure. We don't need to sell the client hardware. Your role For the first three months, we want you to treat GPU.consulting almost as if it were your own business. You'll help us: Define and refine the commercial go-to-market Identify the highest-potential customer segments Build a qualified pipeline Prospect directly into target accounts Use your existing network where relevant Run discovery conversations Sell GPU Assessments Develop partnerships and referral channels Work with technical specialists during deeper sales conversations Help convert assessments into larger engagements Build a repeatable sales motion for GPU.consulting You won't be expected to pretend to be a CUDA engineer. You will need enough technical understanding to have credible conversations about AI infrastructure, cloud, GPU workloads, performance and economics. Compensation This role is 100% performance-based, with substantial upside (and stock options). For self-originated accounts: 25% commission on the initial GPU Assessment PLUS 10% commission on additional services sold to that account during the following 12 months. No commission ceiling. A €10,000 assessment followed by €100,000 of implementation/optimization work would therefore generate approximately: €2,500 initial commission + €10,000 follow-on commission = €12,500 from one successful account. Exact commission rules and account attribution will be agreed transparently before starting. Who we're looking for The strongest candidate will probably have experience in one or more of: Enterprise AI GPU infrastructure Cloud infrastructure HPC Data/ML platforms AI infrastructure sales Kubernetes / DevOps Enterprise architecture Technical consulting NVIDIA/AMD ecosystems AWS, Azure or Google Cloud AI/ML engineering services More importantly, you understand how to sell high-value technical services to senior decision-makers. Existing relationships with CTOs, CIOs, Heads of AI, Heads of Infrastructure, ML leaders, AI scale-ups or enterprises investing significantly in AI infrastructure are a major advantage. Independent consultants, fractional sales leaders and entrepreneurial business developers with complementary mandates are welcome. This probably isn't for you if... You're primarily looking for: Hourly sales work A guaranteed monthly retainer Mass email outreach Appointment setting only Selling from a fixed script A large existing sales organization handing you qualified leads We're looking for someone who can create opportunities, not simply process them. Why this could be interesting GPU infrastructure is rapidly becoming a significant cost and strategic decision for companies deploying AI at scale. We already own the category-defining domain: www.gpu.consulting Rather than hiring a conventional salesperson, we want to give the right person significant commercial ownership during the launch phase. If the first six months work exceptionally well, we're open to discussing a much larger long-term role in building GPU.consulting. To apply Please don't send a generic sales proposal. Instead, answer these four questions: 1. What's your experience selling AI, cloud, infrastructure, HPC or other technical B2B services? 2. Who could you realistically get GPU.consulting in front of during the first 30 days? We don't need company names if they're confidential — describe the type and seniority of the buyers you can reach. 3. If you were responsible for getting the first 5 paying GPU Assessment customers, how would you do it? 4. Why does a 100% performance-based model with significant commission upside work for you? We're particularly interested in people who look at GPU.consulting and immediately start thinking about how they would build it.
