Sprout is building the world’s most efficient circular GPU supply chain. Our clients, hyperscalers, neoclouds, and AI innovators - rely on us to deliver performance-tested, certified GPU systems at scale. Velerity is the commercial arm of this mission, and we need a sales leader who can build the relationships and revenue engine from the ground up.

The End User Sales Leader is the tip of the spear for Velerity’s go-to-market strategy. This is a business development and direct sales role focused on creating demand that doesn’t exist today — identifying enterprise buyers, activating channel partners, and capturing GPU fleet decommission opportunities. You’ll work alongside a Product Manager who owns product solutioning, pricing support and supply sourcing. Your job is to build pipeline, close deals and establish Velerity as the go-to partner for GPU and AI compute solutions.

This is not an account management role. You’re building a book of business from scratch in a market that’s moving fast. The right person brings a strong network, enterprise sales instincts, and the hunger to build something new.

Business Development & New Logo Acquisition

• Identify, prospect, and close enterprise deals with hyperscalers, neoclouds, AI companies, and GPU-intensive workload operators. This will be 20% of your time as your primary focus will start with end user demand.

• Build outbound prospecting motion targeting CIOs, VP Infrastructure, and procurement leaders at organizations running large GPU fleets or planning AI infrastructure buildouts.

• Develop a repeatable ICP-to-close sales process for GPU/AI compute from targeting through prospecting, solutioning, proposal, and close.

• Uncover GPU fleet refresh and decommission opportunities. Build the relationships that enable Velerity to capture large-scale decomm volumes from hyperscalers and neoclouds — this is Velerity’s circular supply chain in action.

Customer Solutioning & Deal Execution

• Partner with the Product Manager for opportunities you uncover, translate workload requirements into hardware builds, configurations, and quotes.

• Manage the full deal lifecycle from initial inquiry through pricing, negotiation, and close. Maintain a 30-day average quote-to-close cycle on standard configurations.

• Own the relationship with strategic end-user accounts. Be the person customers call first when they need GPU compute.

• Contribute to fair market value analysis on data center opportunities, supporting the broader BD effort with pricing intelligence from the field.

Pipeline & Forecasting

• Build and maintain qualified pipeline of end users. Manage pipeline in CRM with accurate deal progression, staging, and forecasting.

• Deliver weekly pipeline reviews with clear commit, upside, and risk buckets. Forecast accuracy within ±15% monthly.

• Contribute field intelligence on competitive dynamics, pricing trends, and customer demand signals to inform product strategy and marketing content.

• 7–15 years in enterprise technology sales, solutions selling, or business development — ideally selling servers, GPU/AI infrastructure, or data center equipment to large enterprises.

• Proven track record of building pipeline and closing $10M+ in annual revenue, preferably in a greenfield or early-stage sales motion.

• Deep understanding of the GPU/AI compute landscape: NVIDIA architectures, training vs. inference workloads, and the organizations consuming these systems at scale.

• Existing network of relationships with hyperscalers, neoclouds, AI companies, or enterprise IT procurement leaders.

• Experience activating and managing VAR and channel partner relationships (CDW, SHI, Computacenter, etc.).

• Commercial fluency — you understand margin, ASP, deal structure, and how to negotiate complex hardware transactions.

• Strong CRM discipline and pipeline management skills. Comfortable with weekly accountability and board-level reporting.

• Self-starter who thrives in ambiguity. You don’t need a playbook handed to you — you’ll help write it.
