About Nscale

Nscale is the GPU cloud engineered for AI. We provide cost-effective, high-performance infrastructure for AI start-ups and large enterprise customers. Nscale enables AI-focused companies to achieve superior results by reducing the complexity of AI development. Our GPU cloud bolsters technical capabilities and directly supports strategic business outcomes, including cost management, rapid innovation, and environmental responsibility.

At Nscale, our Business Operations team builds the systems, processes, and insights that drive execution and decision-making across the company. We create clarity, remove blockers, and ensure teams have the tools, data, and support they need to move quickly and confidently.

We thrive on a culture of relentless innovation, ownership, and accountability, where every team member takes pride in their work and drives it with excellence and urgency. As an Nscaler, you’ll build trust through openness and transparency, where everyone is inspired to do their best work. If you join our team, you’ll be contributing to building the technology that powers the future.

About the Role

We’re seeking an Operations Planning Analyst to translate capacity forecasts into executable delivery plans and maintain visibility across infrastructure work. You’ll own schedules, dashboards, and L2L capacity tracking, ensuring upstream decisions and downstream execution stay in sync. Working with Infrastructure, Commercial, Finance, and Programme Management, you’ll monitor readiness KPIs, surface risks early, and keep everyone aligned on what’s next. If you’re analytical, organised, and love turning data into clear operations signals, this is for you.

What You’ll be Doing

Capacity Tracking

• Maintain the unified view of capacity, demand and readiness
• Reconcile forecasts with actuals; highlight gaps and trade-offs
• Run scenario views for “what-if” planning and prioritisation

Scheduling & Coordination

• Build work-back plans and delivery calendars across teams
• Track milestones, dependencies and resource constraints
• Publish weekly dashboards and variance analyses
• Define and monitor readiness KPIs and leading indicators
• Proactively escalate blockers with context and options
• Support quarterly planning, OKRs, and leadership reviews

About You

• Analytical, detail-focused, and excellent with time/priority management
• Strong communicator who can summarise status and risk crisply
• Comfortable with spreadsheets, dashboards and scheduling tools
• Curious and proactive; you chase clarity and close gaps
• Enjoys cross-functional work and keeping many contributors aligned
• Calm in ambiguity; you design structure that others can follow

Qualifications & Experience

• 2–4 years in operations planning, analytics, or program coordination
• Strong Excel/Sheets and dashboarding experience (e.g., Looker/Tableau/Power BI)
• Familiarity with resource/capacity planning concepts
• Experience with project planning tools and dependency tracking

What We Can Offer You

• A collaborative, supportive, and innovative environment where your contributions will make a real impact.
• A competitive compensation package (base + equity) with reviews every 12 months.
• Work at one of the fastest-growing tech startups, backed by top PE/VC firms.
• A clear progression plan. We want you to keep growing. That means trying new things, leading others, challenging the status quo and owning your impact. Always with our complete support.
• Flexibility: We see you as individuals first, employees second. This approach includes all the expected perks but goes beyond that to offer true flexibility. We’re proud to be a workplace that trusts our Nscalers to excel in their roles while giving you the freedom to shape your day
• Remote-first: Join our remote-first team, and enjoy the flexibility of remote work, allowing you to create a productive and balanced work-life setup, while staying connected with your global team.

At Nscale, we are committed to fostering an inclusive, diverse, and equitable workplace. We believe that a variety of perspectives enriches our work environment, and we encourage applications from candidates of all backgrounds, experiences, and abilities. We strongly encourage applications from people of colour, the LGBTQ+ community, people with disabilities, neurodivergent people, parents, carers, and people from lower socio-economic backgrounds.
