Head of Origination – Fintech AI Infrastructure: Prospect Rock Partners

This is a Private Credit / Structured Finance role adapted for the AI age. As the Head of Origination, you are the "Chief Revenue Officer" of the lending side. You aren't selling a SaaS product; you are selling Money.

Your job is to find the next CoreWeave, Lambda Labs, or Voltage Park (before they get big) and convince them to borrow money from your platform to buy their chips.

Key Responsibilities
The Hunter: You must source deals. You need a rolodex of Data Center operators, hardware resellers (OEMs like Dell/Supermicro), and AI infrastructure startups.

The Underwriter: You aren't just handing out cash. You need to assess if a borrower can actually pay back the loan. This involves deep due diligence: Do they have signed contracts with AI customers? Is their power cost low enough?

Asset Valuation: The JD explicitly mentions "Market intelligence on GPU pricing." You need to know exactly what a used H100 is worth on the secondary market today vs. 12 months from now, because that hardware is your collateral.

Strategic Analysis: The Opportunity & Risk
The Gap: Traditional banks (JPMorgan, SVB) are terrified of lending against GPUs because hardware depreciates instantly. This startup is betting they can underwrite that risk better than a bank by understanding the tech deeply.

The "Token" Upside: The compensation mentions "Token incentive." If this protocol launches a token that becomes the standard for "Compute Financing," the liquid upside could dwarf the $300k salary.

The Ambiguity: "Extremely flat organization" and "No middle managers" means you will be doing everything from high-level strategy to redlining legal contracts and visiting dusty server farms in rural Texas.

Candidate Profile
You are the perfect fit if:

The "Recovering Banker": You spent 10 years in Equipment Finance, Leveraged Finance, or Special Situations at a bank, but you are bored and personally invested in crypto/AI.

The Connector: You know the people building physical data centers. You know the brokers who sell NVIDIA chips.

The Structurer: You understand what "Non-recourse" means. You know how to structure a loan so that if the borrower goes bust, your company can legally seize the servers within 24 hours.
