Job description

Cloud Neural Networks
is a duly registered Kenyan company building AI-factory ecosystems and hyperscale digital infrastructure across Africa.

We are the first company in Africa to provide fully managed AI services, enabling SMEs, corporates, and public institutions to optimize operations, reduce costs, and accelerate digital transformation.

Our flagship development, QLOUD, integrates Tier-IV data-center capacity with an innovation hub, enterprise office environments, and a dedicated commercial retail space for emerging technologies.

Expansion markets include Rwanda, Tanzania, Namibia, Ethiopia, Zimbabwe, South Sudan, and Burundi, establishing a continental AI backbone that advances competitiveness and economic growth.

Role Purpose

Lead the full capital formation strategy for QLOUD — from investor origination to structuring and closing — establishing the financial foundation required to deploy hyperscale AI infrastructure across the region.

Key Responsibilities

  • Develop and execute fundraising strategies across equity, quasi-equity, debt, project finance, and blended finance.

  • Originate and manage relationships with VC/PE funds, infrastructure funds, DFIs, sovereign funds, family offices, banks, and institutional investors.

  • Negotiate terms, capital instruments, covenants, risk allocations, and governance rights.

  • Build and oversee financial models, scenario analyses, tenancy ramp profiles, capex/opex frameworks, IRR/MOIC sensitivities, and PPA-linked energy structures.

  • Craft investment materials including IMs, pitch decks, investor memos, and data-room documentation.

  • Support offtake strategies through enterprise, cloud, hyperscaler, and government tenancy engagements.

  • Coordinate advisors across legal, tax, technical, EPC, and energy domains.

  • Establish investor reporting, disclosure protocols, milestone dashboards, and performance governance.

Minimum Qualifications

  • 6–10+ years in investment banking, private equity, infrastructure finance, or capital markets.

  • Proven track record of capital raised (>$5M cumulative) with structured transaction exposure.

  • Demonstrated competence in negotiating complex multi-party deals.

  • Strong network relationships across institutional capital.

  • Professional fluency in financial modelling and valuation methodologies.

Preferred Exposure

  • Data-center operations, cloud infrastructure, telecommunications, renewable energy PPAs, industrial real estate, or hyperscaler tenancy frameworks.

  • Due diligence processes for DFIs, sovereign funds, and institutional LPs.
  • Familiarity with AI/HPC workload economics and uptime standards.

Core Competencies

  • Strategic capital architecture and investor narrative development
  • High-credibility relationship origination
  • Analytical rigor and risk-mitigation orientation
  • Governance-grade communication
  • Confidentiality, integrity, and disciplined execution
  • Founder-level accountability

Success Indicators (12–18 months)

  • Structured and qualified investor pipeline
  • Executed term sheets and anchor commitments
  • Data-room validation through technical/legal due diligence
  • EPC/energy frameworks aligned to financing structures
  • Off-take/tenancy MOUs reducing utilization risk

Compensation & Governance

  • Equity with vesting (e.g, 36 months; cliff negotiable)
  • Performance-based carry linked to capital deployment milestones
  • Board seat with strategic oversight responsibilities
  • Merit-based upside aligned to enterprise value creation

Why Join

  • Help architect Africa's foundational AI and digital compute infrastructure
