Firmus Technologies
Firmus Technologies is a global leader pioneering the development and operation of efficient AI infrastructure across Asia Pacific.
Founded in Australia in 2019, our mission is to create the most efficient AI infrastructure by combining cutting-edge technology with a steadfast commitment to sustainability. At Firmus, we are unique in our approach. We design, build, and operate a new class of digital infrastructure – the AI Factory. Through our model-to-grid technology approach, we have pushed the boundaries of multi-generational liquid cooling systems, energy management, AI software orchestration, and construction. For our customers, this approach allows us to make every watt count and deliver low-cost AI tokens globally.
Firmus AI Cloud
Our large-scale GPU cloud platform, Firmus AI Cloud, is purpose-built to deliver energy-efficient AI compute at scale to customers.
It empowers developers, enterprises, educational institutions, and government users to train and deploy AI models with unmatched efficiency and cost savings. With an ever-growing suite of services and applications, we are committed to delivering a cloud experience that is market-leading, proprietary, and built to scale.
Role Summary
This is a commercial leadership role spanning account ownership, capacity commercialisation, and cross-functional delivery orchestration. Accounts are supported by a dedicated coverage pod — Solution Architecture, Customer Success, Technical Program Management, and Engineering, Reporting directly into the Vice President, North America, you will translate customer AI compute roadmaps into structured, GPU capacity commitments, working closely with capacity planning, network engineering, and delivery teams to ensure every commitment is met on schedule.
The role is executive-facing with strong technical fluency, focused on capacity planning, GPU deployment timelines, networking architecture, and power and data centre constraints. You will act as the primary point of contact for Firmus’s most important customers, coordinating closely with engineering, finance, and legal to protect and grow these relationships.
This position is ideal for someone who thrives on owning complex, high-stakes commercial relationships, building deep executive trust, and operating with significant autonomy in a fast-scaling environment as an experienced, senior individual contributor.
Key Responsibilities
- Own end-to-end account leadership for Firmus’s largest GPU capacity customers, acting as the primary commercial point of contact and executive-level relationship owner.
- Own the executive governance cadence for each account — running quarterly and executive business reviews with customer and Firmus leadership — to keep commitments, performance, and escalations visible at the highest level.
- Own end-to-end delivery outcomes for your accounts, leading a dedicated coverage pod — Solution Architecture, Customer Success, Technical Program Management, and Engineering (SDI/Network/Platform) — and coordinating cross-functionally with finance, legal, and executive leadership to ensure customer commitments are met on schedule and risks are surfaced early.
- Own the customer feedback loop into Firmus engineering — capturing technical issues, capacity requirements, and roadmap requests from your accounts and translating them into clear input for engineering and product priorities.
- Drive the evolution of account coverage from shared pods (currently two accounts per pod) toward dedicated, single-customer pods as individual account requirements and scale justify a fully dedicated team — following the model already established for Meta and Nvidia, which report directly into the Vice President, North America.
- Identify and execute account growth opportunities as customer compute needs scale, while maintaining clear executive reporting on strategic account health, pipeline, capacity utilisation, and risk.
Skills & Experience
- 10 + years in strategic account management, enterprise/complex sales, or commercial leadership in cloud infrastructure, data centre, semiconductor, or AI compute markets.
- Direct experience selling, negotiating, or managing large-scale GPU/compute capacity contracts, ideally with a hyperscaler, neocloud, or AI infrastructure background.
- Strong technical fluency in GPU infrastructure, able to speak credibly to customers on capacity planning, deployment timelines, networking architecture, and power and data centre constraints.
- Track record of operating with significant autonomy in ambiguous, high-growth environments.
- Comfort operating as a senior individual contributor, owning outcomes end-to-end without a direct reporting team.
