About the role

Lead AI-diligence engagements for leading private equity sponsors, from kickoff through investment committee, combining AI/ML technical insight with PE commercial judgment to shape value in potential portfolio companies.

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.
  • Carry the thesis past the deal. When sponsors bring us in post-close, convert diligence findings into value creation plans, scope solutions with our product and engineering teams, and stay close as they ship.
  • Build the practice. Codify diligence frameworks, sector playbooks, and solution patterns that make each engagement faster and sharper than the last.

Qualifications

  • 3–5+ years of professional experience, with a background in top-tier consulting (McKinsey, Bain, BCG), private equity, and/or AI technology companies.
  • Experience contributing to complex diligence, strategic analysis, or technical evaluation processes.
  • Startup or high-growth operating experience preferred; comfort with ambiguity and moving fast.
