  • Engaging directly with management teams of AI-enabled businesses and participating in portfolio strategy discussions
  • Thematic research and sourcing efforts around high-potential applied AI end-markets and use cases
  • Preparing financial analyses and scenario models tailored to growth equity structures
  • Collaborating with the team to manage existing portfolio companies, analyze KPIs, and track market developments
  • Supporting fundraising and investor relations activities for the AI-focused fund

Qualifications

  • 2–4 years of work experience in Investment Banking, Growth Equity, Venture Capital, or Private Equity
  • Demonstrated interest in applied AI, machine learning, enterprise software, or technology-enabled business models through professional experience or independent initiatives
  • Proficiency in Microsoft Office (Excel, Word, PowerPoint); familiarity with tools like Pitchbook, CapIQ, and other industry specific research sources
  • Highly motivated, entrepreneurial mindset; ability to source deals and frame investment theses proactively
  • Professional maturity to interact with management teams, founders, and investors in the AI ecosystem
  • Strong writing, presentation, and communication skills with acute attention to detail
  • Ability to thrive in a lean, fast-paced, and dynamic environment
