Job description

This role offers a significant opportunity to drive strategic AI initiatives with measurable business impact. You will work directly with executive leadership to improve how our organization and portfolio companies operate through AI. The position involves a steep learning curve and high expectations while providing substantial professional growth and the chance to influence AI adoption across the business.

We value strong problem-solving abilities over specific experience. We're looking for someone who thinks creatively, learns quickly, and executes effectively regardless of your industry background.

In this role, you'll be developing new approaches, addressing complex problems, and creating value across the organization. We intend this to be the hardest job youve ever had, the job you learn and grow the fastest in, and the inflection point of your career.

Key Responsibilities

• AI Adoption:Identify, author, and drive AI best practices throughout the organization
• AI Project Delivery:Lead AI-focused projects to completion on time and within budget, with clear business outcomes

• Approaches problems thoughtfully and persistently
• Adapts quickly to new concepts
• Connects technology capabilities with business outcomes
• Takes initiative to solve problems proactively

Your resume should demonstrate achievement and growth, though not necessarily in AI specifically. You're interested in this role not just as a career move, but because you're genuinely interested in AI's potential to transform business.

To perform the job successfully, you will need to demonstrate the following competencies:

• Values:Alignment with our culture of excellence, grit, humility, integrity, and results orientation
• Problem Solving:Ability to identify and address complex challenges
• Influence:Ability to build consensus and drive action without formal authority
• Decision-making:Confidence to make difficult decisions with limited information
• Analytical Thinking:Using data effectively for problem solving and decision making Communication: Ability to explain complex concepts clearly

Qualifications

We encourage applications from candidates with diverse professional backgrounds. Whether your experience is in consulting, operations, startups, product management, or another field, we're interested in your capabilities rather than your specific background.

• Track record of completing strategic projects successfully
• Experience with data analysis and Excel-based modeling
• Ability to create clear, executive-level presentations
• Interest in and basic understanding of AI technologies
• Sufficient technical understanding to work effectively with both technical and business teams
