• Track progress against the AI roadmap and prioritize ruthlessly.
• Define metrics for AI's impact on firm outcomes and ensure accountability.
• Lead the development of the shared context and data layer for AI.
• Establish common infrastructure, evaluation methods, and technical primitives for trustworthy and reusable AI products.
• Stay fluent in LLMs, agents, context/retrieval layers, evals, and the broader model landscape.
• Evaluate tradeoffs across AI approaches and lead engineers credibly.
• Get hands-on with prototypes or production work when necessary.
• Develop a deep understanding of investor and operator workflows.
• Move quickly from observation to prototype and ship products that improve decisions and outcomes.
• Create tools, standards, and support for others to build agents on shared foundations.
• Help the best ideas become reliable, discoverable, and useful to the broader firm.
• Partner across investing, portfolio impact, and operations teams to drive firm-wide AI integration.
• Connect work happening across the firm, reduce duplication, and clarify tradeoffs and ownership.
• Direct the day-to-day work of engineers, analysts, and contributors.
• Recruit additional talent as needed.
• Create a culture of technical excellence, speed, accountability, and high judgment.
• Make strategy, roadmap, technical choices, risks, and results legible to both non-technical partners and engineers.

Requirements

• 7-10+ years of experience building meaningful technical products or systems.
• Evidence of ability to build and lead.
• Deep, current, hands-on fluency with LLMs, agents, context/retrieval layers, evals, and the model landscape.
• Track record of taking ambiguous, zero-to-one opportunities and turning them into adopted products that create measurable value.
• Strong product judgment combined with technical depth.
• Ability to understand users at the level of their actual behavior.
• Ability to identify the highest-leverage problem.
• Ability to know when to prototype, build, buy, or stop.

• Experience navigating complex organizations with senior, opinionated stakeholders and building alignment without formal authority.
• Energized by continuously re-architecting how an organization works.
• Crisp written and verbal communication skills.
• Comfortable moving between technical and non-technical audiences.
