    About this role

    Location: London (Hybrid — Tuesday to Thursday in the office)

    Department: Sales

    Reporting to: Director of Cloud Sales

    ABOUT NEXGEN CLOUD:

    NexGen Cloud is the company behind Hyperstack, a full-stack AI cloud serving tens of thousands of customers from AI researchers to enterprises running the world's most compute-intensive workloads. We deliver on-demand and private GPU infrastructure to teams who treat performance as a requirement, not a feature.

    We're a tight-knit, fast-moving team working at the cutting edge of AI cloud infrastructure. We practice what we preach, equipping our people with AI at every level so we can solve harder problems, ship faster, and keep raising the bar for what enterprise GPU infrastructure looks like.

    THE ROLE: Senior Business Development Manager – Vertical Markets

    Hyperstack already runs production GPU capacity at scale for AI start-ups, AI service providers and enterprise AI teams. This role exists to extend that position into compute-intensive, regulated and specialist industries — financial services, healthcare and life sciences, robotics and autonomous systems, computer vision and industrial AI — where compute budgets are already committed and infrastructure partners are being chosen now.

    You'll own a named vertical end to end: the demand thesis, the target account map, the outbound motion, and every deal through to signature. This is a full-cycle role with real ownership, not a top-of-funnel handoff — you'll become the recognised commercial authority for your vertical inside NexGen, and a credible presence in that industry externally.
