Forward Deployed AI Operating Principal

Embed directly with portfolio company teams to bridge the gap between AI platforms and real business workflows — delivering measurable automation outcomes on fast cycle times.

// WHY THIS ROLE EXISTS

Most operating teams advise from a distance. This role is different. Inspired by the forward deployed engineer model — where builders embed directly in the customer's environment to deliver production outcomes in days, not quarters — this Operating Principal will sit side-by-side with portfolio company operators, hands on keyboard, bridging AI/automation platforms to their specific use cases. You will own the full cycle: discover the problem → architect the solution → build the workflow → prove ROI. Think startup energy meets PE operating discipline. If you've spent your career translating complex platforms into customer-specific value at speed, this is the role.
