Our client, a globally recognised venture capital and private equity firm specialising in software and internet technology, is seeking an exceptional Vice President, Data & AI Partnerships to lead and expand its executive network of Chief Data & AI Officers across Fortune 500 organisations.

This is a rare opportunity to join one of the world's premier software investors in a highly visible role helping shape the future of enterprise AI.

We're seeking an influential industry leader who has personally led enterprise Data & AI transformation initiatives, understands the realities of deploying AI at scale, and is recognised as a trusted advisor by senior executives.

You'll become one of the firm's leading voices on enterprise AI, leveraging your expertise and network to influence senior leaders, shape industry dialogue and create strategic opportunities across a world-class portfolio of technology businesses.

• Building trusted relationships with Chief Data & AI Officers and senior AI executives across Fortune 500 organisations.
• Developing original thought leadership through executive briefings, market insights and industry speaking engagements.

• Advising investment teams on enterprise priorities, emerging AI trends and market sentiment.
• Building and scaling a best-in-class executive community within one of the industry's leading investment platforms.

About You

You'll likely have built your career within one or more of the following environments:

• A Fortune 500 organisation leading enterprise Data, AI or Digital Transformation initiatives.
