Velerity has a strong enterprise direct sales motion and a transactional broker desk. Between those two channels sits a large, underserved buyer universe: GPUaaS platforms, HPC hosting operators, compute resellers, and mining-to-compute infrastructure companies who buy through the broker/dealer ecosystem because they need speed, flexible terms, and inventory without OEM lead times. This role goes after that demand deliberately, building Velerity into the preferred supply partner for channel buyers with steady, recurring GPU/HPC infrastructure needs

• Broker/dealer channel sales for Velerity: identify, develop, and close channel buyers with run-rate demand (monthly/quarterly repeat orders, not one-time trades).

• Full deal lifecycle for channel deals: discovery, technical scoping, quoting, negotiation, and close. Structure deals that fit broker dynamics: speed, flexible terms, volume pricing, swap/trade-in, standing supply agreements.

• Marketplace and platform partnerships: strategic supply relationships with GPUaaS operators, HPC hosting companies, and compute-as-a-service platforms who need a steady flow of configured, tested GPU servers.

• Secondary market pricing intelligence: real-time view of GPU hardware pricing, BrokerBin activity, OEM overstock, lease-return volumes, and competitive dynamics. Feed market intelligence back to leadership for inventory decisions.

• Sourcing coordination with team and the broker desk when customer demand exceeds Velerity inventory.

• Personal book of business measured on channel-originated revenue with run-rate characteristics.

• 7+ years in hardware sales, broker/dealer channels, or infrastructure-as-a-service, with 3+ years focused on GPU/HPC/AI infrastructure or data center equipment in secondary market or channel motions.

• Track record building run-rate revenue through broker/dealer or channel-partner relationships. Existing network of channel buyers (GPUaaS, HPC hosting, compute resellers, mining/infra operators) who consume hardware at volume.

• Fluency in GPU/AI server hardware: NVIDIA GPU generations, server platforms, networking, and data center infrastructure. Ability to price and structure deals in a fast-moving secondary market.

• Self-starter who can build a channel book from scratch. You bring the relationships and the hustle.
