Capacity Strategy & Operations

Join Baseten, a fast-growing startup at the intersection of AI and cloud infrastructure. As a member of the Capacity Strategy & Operations team, you will own the end-to-end capacity planning process, translating customer commitments and growth forecasts into concrete supply requirements. You will coordinate fulfillment across vendors, finance, and the infrastructure team, and build systems to make the process repeatable and scalable. This role requires strong quantitative and modeling skills, the ability to manage complex cross-functional processes, and excellent communication skills.

• Ownership of the end-to-end capacity planning process, including translating customer commitments into supply requirements and coordinating fulfillment across teams.
• Building and owning the Demand-Supply Alignment Framework to ensure the team is prepared for customer scaling.
• Leading cross-functional responses to high-stakes capacity situations and producing clear capacity health reports for senior leadership.

• You are a strong fit if you have operated at the intersection of strategy and execution before — someone who is equally comfortable building a capacity model in a spreadsheet and running a cross-functional war room when a customer deployment is at risk
• Strong quantitative and modeling skills — comfortable building demand forecasts, scenario analyses, and capacity models from scratch
• Demonstrated ability to own complex, cross-functional processes with multiple stakeholders and competing priorities
• High ownership mindset: you identify what is broken, build the fix, and follow through until it is working
• Operates well under pressure and in ambiguous, fast-moving environments where the playbook does not yet exist
• Excellent communication skills, with a track record of distilling ambiguous situations into clear recommendations for senior leadership
• 5+ years of experience in strategy, operations, consulting, finance, or a similarly analytical and execution-oriented role
• Familiarity with GPU infrastructure, cloud platforms, or AI/ML ecosystem
• Experience in a high-growth startup or Series B+ environment where operational processes were being built from scratch
• Exposure to vendor or partner management, particularly in hardware, cloud, or infrastructure contexts
