GPU & AI Infrastructure – Reserved Deal Desk Broker
Independent Contractor
PADO AI Orchestration, Inc., a new venture born out of LG Electronics and backed by LG NOVA, is revolutionizing energy management for the modern AI data center. We are on a mission to maximize Compute Per Megawatt™ by bridging the gap between infrastructure constraints and the explosive demand for AI-driven compute.
That mission has a commercial front door: PADO’s GPU marketplace. We broker compute between the neocloud and aggregator supply base and the AI-native companies that need capacity now — moving from on-demand and spot into the reserved market, where the real contracts get written. With LG’s backing in BESS storage, high-efficiency chillers, and liquid cooling, we bring credibility to the supply side that a broker alone does not have.
We are seeking a GPU & AI Infrastructure – Reserved Deal Desk Broker to run transactions across both sides of that marketplace. This is not an SDR seat and it is not account management. You will source supply, source demand, match them, price the spread, and carry the deal to signature. Our buyers are the ones the hyperscalers cannot serve — AI-native platforms, defense and robotics programs, biotech, and capital markets firms whose compliance requirements exclude standard hyperscaler options, and whose infrastructure decisions are made at the board level. If you have spent the last two years living in GPU pricing sheets and know who actually has inventory this quarter, this is a desk built for you.
Responsibilities:
Supply-Side Sourcing: Build and maintain a live supplier network across neoclouds, aggregators, marketplaces, and colocation-backed operators. Negotiate reserved capacity pricing, prepayment terms, and service levels across H100, H200, B200/B300, GB200/GB300, RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell, and AMD Instinct MI300X/MI355X.
Demand-Side Origination: Source and qualify AI-native buyers — inference platforms and foundation model developers, defense technology, robotics and simulation, biotech, and quantitative finance — and translate their workloads into a capacity specification a supplier can actually quote.
Transaction Matching: Match workload requirements — interconnect, bare-metal access, region, term length, memory and network profile — against available inventory. Know when a cluster genuinely fits a workload and when it does not.
Multi-Stakeholder Deal Navigation: Run procurement cycles that require simultaneous commercial alignment across engineering leaders, CFOs, founders, compliance officers, and board or investment stakeholders. Reserved commitments with significant upfront capital are decided at the board level, not by a single champion.
Spread and Margin Ownership: Price to a target spread and own the gross margin on every transaction you originate. You will be measured on realized margin, not on gross contract value.
Commercial Structuring: Negotiate prepayment and escrow mechanics, payment timing, SLA pass-through, and non-circumvention terms, including export control and cross-border deployment constraints. Work with PADO’s counsel to keep upstream and downstream agreements mirrored so risk does not sit with PADO.
Counterparty Diligence: Assess offtaker creditworthiness, supplier delivery risk, and concentration risk before any capacity is committed. Reserved capacity is a balance-sheet commitment, and the discipline not to commit it prematurely is part of the job.
Deal Registration and Pipeline Hygiene: Maintain high standards for Salesforce hygiene and provide accurate forecasting to the executive team. Deal registration governs both PADO’s exposure and your commission crediting.
Market Intelligence: Track spot and reserved pricing by chip, region, and term, and feed pricing signal back into PADO’s marketplace and product roadmap.
Industry Representation: Serve as a PADO brand ambassador at major trade shows and industry events.
