About the role
- Joining now means shaping both the company and a new category of applied AI.
- You'll work alongside exceptional peers on some of the hardest problems in applied AI.
- It's the kind of work you'll still be proud of in ten years from now.
Responsibilities
- Run AI diligences end to end. Scope with the deal team, map the target's workflows and data, identify and size the highest-value AI solutions, assess implementation dependencies and competitive risk, and deliver the readout to the deal team and IC.
- Own sponsor relationships. Manage day-to-day communication with deal teams and portfolio executives, and become a trusted voice on AI for the funds you serve.
- Bridge technology and capital. Work with Brain Co. engineers and product leaders to pressure-test feasibility - sometimes by prototyping on the target's own data mid-diligence - and turn the answer into recommendations an IC can underwrite.
- Build the practice. Codify diligence frameworks, sector playbooks, and solution patterns that make each engagement faster and sharper than the last.
- Scope with the deal team, map the target's workflows and data, identify and size the highest-value AI solutions, assess implementation dependencies and competitive risk, and deliver the readout to the deal team and IC.

Nice to have
