Head of Operations (GPU Fleet)
Lyceum, Berlin
About the job
Your mission
Demand for sovereign European compute is not our constraint. Capacity is. As Head of Operations you own Lyceum's GPU fleet end to end: every GPU we own, lease or operate for partners, from the first conversation with a data center to the day a node goes live and every day it runs after that.
The job has two halves. Grow the fleet: turn new financing into live GPUs, fast. Run the fleet: keep everything we operate available, efficient and under contract. Your north star is GPUs under management. You report directly to the CEO and work closely with the CFO, CTO and engineering. Depending on experience, we hire this role at Head or VP level.
What You'll Do
- Secure data center capacity across Europe: power, liquid cooling, space, connectivity and colocation leases
- Own relationships with OEMs and suppliers for servers, networking and storage, and manage lead times so hardware arrives when we need it
- Run every deployment as a programme, from logistics and installation to burn-in, acceptance and handover to engineering
- Keep the financing side of deployments clean: schedules, drawdown milestones, asset records, insurance and lender reporting
