Senior Business Development Manager

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. Role positioning: this is a role for a senior seller who already holds trust in a compute-intensive industry and wants full ownership of turning that trust into a book of business — the strategy, the pipeline and the close.

WHAT YOU'LL BE DOING: Rather than a long checklist, here's what success in this role looks like: Own a named vertical end to end — build the demand thesis, size the addressable market, and turn it into a prioritised target account map Self-source the majority of your own pipeline and reach the people who decide compute budget: CIO, CTO, Chief Data or AI Officer, and the procurement and risk functions that gate them Lead technical discovery to a real specification, then own the full cycle to signature — commercial proposal, security review, procurement, legal and MSA negotiation Structure multi-year committed reservations and on-demand entry points, and keep a forecast the business can plan capacity against Build Hyperstack's presence in your vertical — industry events, analyst and partner relationships, reference customers and case studies Feed vertical requirements into Product, Capacity and Marketing with enough specificity to change decisions, then follow through until they land Act as the internal reference point for your vertical — brief the wider Sales team and raise the technical floor around you ABOUT YOU: We're more interested in how you think and work than in a perfect CV.
