ABOUT HUT 8

Imagine the ultimate destination for those who want to work at the cutting edge of technology, energy, and infrastructure. Hut 8 is on a mission to build and operate some of the world’s largest data centers for next-generation computing workloads, including AI, Colocation, Cloud, and Bitcoin Mining. We are proud to offer interesting and challenging opportunities for individuals who want to build teams, solve problems, and make an impact from day one. If you’re an ambitious individual looking for a career that is as rewarding as it is challenging, you’ve come to the right place.

ABOUT THE ROLE

As the Chief of Staff (Commercial & BD), you will serve as the CEO’s strategic "force multiplier," specifically focused on accelerating our commercial engine. This is not an administrative role; it is an entrepreneurial, high-stakes leadership position designed for a future executive. You will bridge the gap between high-level strategy and boots-on-the-ground execution, driving revenue-generating initiatives and securing our position in the energy and data center markets.

Key Responsibilities
  • Commercial Strategy & Growth: Design and execute go-to-market initiatives to penetrate the data center and energy infrastructure sectors. You will identify high-value opportunities and build the playbooks to capture them.
  • Strategic Deal Support: Partner with the CEO to lead high-stakes negotiations and business development meetings. You will be responsible for the "follow-through"—ensuring complex deals move from initial handshake to executed contract.
  • Market Intelligence: Build a world-class understanding of power markets, GPU cloud dynamics, and data center real estate. You will translate these trends into actionable insights that dictate our commercial roadmap.
  • Executive Representation: Serve as a high-EQ representative of the CEO in meetings with investors, hyperscalers, and energy providers. You will act as the primary point of contact for external stakeholders when the CEO is unavailable.
  • Cross-Functional Commercial Alignment: Break down silos between Engineering, Finance, and Operations to ensure our technical capabilities align with our commercial promises.
  • Board & Investor Readiness: Lead the creation of high-impact materials for Board meetings and fundraising rounds, distilling complex commercial progress into clear, quantitative narratives.
  • Special Projects: Take end-to-end ownership of "unstructured" problems—from scouting new site locations to structuring creative financing models for energy assets.

ABOUT YOU

This role is for a "Swiss Army Knife" professional who possesses a rare blend of analytical rigor and commercial instinct. You are likely coming from a high-pressure environment where you've been tested.
Qualifications:

  • 5+ Years of Experience: Ideally from top-tier strategy consulting (MBB), Investment Banking, Private Equity, or a "Head of Ops/Growth" role at a Series A-C tech startup.
  • Industry Passion: You are obsessed with the physical layer of AI—power grids, liquid cooling, and the shift toward decentralized high-performance computing.
  • Quantitative Powerhouse: You can build a complex financial model in Excel one hour and write a compelling investment memo the next.
  • The "Run Through Walls" Mentality: You don't wait for permission. You identify a bottleneck and solve it, whether that means managing a legal review or diving into technical specs.

ABOUT THE WORK ENVIRONMENT

This role is in office at our corporate headquarters in the Brickell area of Miami, Florida. Reasonable accommodations may be made to enable individuals with disabilities to perform the essential functions.
