About the Role
You will establish a new business dedicated to the financialization of AI infrastructure. Market participants are accumulating large, correlated exposures across power and compute and lack adequate tools to manage them. You will design the strategy and client solutions that meet those needs, and over time develop the principal risk-taking framework that extends the product suite. This is a broad mandate with significant scope for you to shape the direction of the business.
Requirements
- 8+ years building and running a markets business — trading, brokerage, structured products, or physical commodities — with a track record of taking a franchise from zero to scale
- Working knowledge of the AI compute ecosystem — data-center development, neoclouds, GPU economics, hyperscaler dynamics
- Range across modes (trade, structure, lend, intermediate) rather than a single-product specialty
- Deep fluency in a flow commodity defined by basis, term structure, and non-storability — power, freight, bandwidth/telecom, or a comparable market
- Demonstrated ability to price and manage risk in illiquid or nascent markets — comfort with basis risk, mark-to-model valuation, and proxy hedging
- Credit and structured-lending judgment, including asset-backed and project-finance structures
- Quantitative fluency, including the ability to build and interrogate pricing models in Python or a comparable language
- Institutional-grade execution and a rigorous, skeptical, process-driven approach to risk
Responsibilities
- Develop and own the strategy for entry into AI infrastructure markets, defining engagement modes such as brokerage, dealing, market-making, and structured lending
- Originate transactions and build the counterparty network across AI labs, neoclouds, hyperscalers, data-center and power developers, utilities and IPPs, crypto-mining operators, and financial counterparties
- Design and structure bespoke instruments such as forwards, swaps, options, and take-or-pay and capacity-reservation structures
- Develop pricing and risk frameworks for instruments with limited or no existing liquidity, including mark-to-model valuation, basis decomposition, and proxy and cross-hedging methodologies
- Build a credit and structured-lending capability, underwriting GPU fleets and data-center deployments against contracted cash flows
- Source liquidity, build exchange and OTC connectivity, and stand up the desk's operational and control infrastructure with legal, credit, and quantitative teams
- Design and implement the principal risk-taking framework that integrates proprietary positioning into the client suite
- Build and lead the team across origination, trading, structuring, and credit
- Represent the company with exchanges, benchmark and index providers, counterparties, and partners
