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

Run the live fleet together with engineering: availability, incidents, RMAs, warranty, spares and remote hands

Own supply-side contracts, renewals and SLAs, and drive down cost per GPU-hour

Build the operations team and the operating rhythm that lets us scale deployments without scaling chaos

Your profile

What We're Looking For

A track record of bringing physical infrastructure online at scale, ideally data centers, GPU or HPC clusters, or comparable hardware-heavy environments

You have owned the whole picture, from capacity and suppliers to deployment and live operations, not one slice of it

Exceptional analytical and strategic thinking. You see the whole board, from site selection to unit economics

Enough technical depth to hold your own with engineers and vendors on power, cooling, networking and hardware

Strong programme management: you run complex projects with many parties against hard deadlines

Confidence negotiating and managing contracts with data centers, OEMs and suppliers

You have built and led teams from scratch and still go deep into the details yourself

Very high sense of urgency and ownership

You make good decisions fast with incomplete information and prefer momentum over perfection

Strong written and verbal communication in English, German is a plus. Willingness to travel across Europe

Why us?

Outstanding team: Work with some of the best engineers in the world, coming from hedge funds, big tech, AI startups and top universities

Once in a lifetime opportunity: Early-stage company in the fastest-growing market in the world

Ownership: Shape how European AI companies access GPU compute

European mission: Build sovereign, GDPR-compliant AI infrastructure for the next generation of deep-tech
