AI Diligence Capability Leader
About Fractional AI
Fractional AI builds bespoke gen AI software to transform businesses. We work with PE-backed businesses and Fortune 500 clients across industries.
Every C-suite in the country is trying to bridge the gap between AI in theory and AI in practice. We close this gap with a world-class engineering team that implements custom end-to-end AI solutions, and a world-class business team that provides AI advisory services.
We are building a rapidly growing business at the forefront of applied AI and work with some of the largest PE firms in the world.
This is a company for intellectually curious individuals looking to make an impact from day 1.
About the role
Fractional AI’s diligence services are in increasing demand. In this role, you will take end-to-end ownership for the capability and service offering, building off of the foundation that already exists. You will need to be able to manage executive level conversations with investors, roll your sleeves up and do IC diligence work, and establish repeatable processes.
This is a unique opportunity to join an early-stage company on the ground level that has a repeatable GTM motion and is establishing a credible brand across Private Equity.
This is not a quota-carrying role.
What you’ll do:
Serve as a strategic expert advisor. You will act as the executive and expert from Fractional AI in conversations with senior investors and during diligence readouts.
Build the playbook. You will take what we have done to date and turn AI Diligence into a repeatable offering.
Quality control. You are the owner of the service line and the quality with which the team delivers. You will ensure that at all times the service being provided to customers is in line with Fractional AI’s bar for overdelivering.
Build your network. You will become a name that firms now and a sought out voice on how AI poses risks and opportunities to the business. You will not have a revenue target but it is critical that you build your PE rolodex.
Support the sales process. You will be a key part of closing deals, both for diligences as well as strategic AI development projects.
What you bring to the table:
Expertise at the intersection of technology and investing
12+ years of experience across consulting, private equity, and/or technology leadership roles
Executive presence and ability to engage credibly on technical concepts
Ability to quickly ramp up to understand businesses and markets they operate in
Entrepreneurial mindset and willingness to roll your sleeves up
Bonus: Experience in AI, early stage start-ups

Why you should (and shouldn’t) join us
We believe in transparency and know joining a company is a big decision. We’re not the best fit for everyone and try to be clear on what we are and what we’re not so you make the choice that’s right for you.
Why join Fractional?
We are filling a massive gap in a massive market: Getting genAI into production is the challenge of our time – with legacy consulting firms already driving several billion dollars per year on genAI advising revenue. Most offerings on the market don’t meet the need – they are one size fits all product solutions or advising services without the engineering team to deliver. We offer the engineering talent to meet the need.
We have real momentum and demand: PE firms know our name and are calling us when they need help. Our revenue has already tripled year to date and our go-forward targets are incredibly ambitious and attainable at the same time.
A front-row seat to the AI revolution: The exposure and learnings that you will get around what is real in the world of AI and how enterprises are using this technology to improve their businesses will be unmatched. In a given week you will meet with 10+ different companies across industries with different use cases. And you will be leading the way to help them figure out how to bring their vision to life.
Become an expert: Your exposure to hundreds of AI projects and scoping them will give you a world-leading vantage point and expertise in the space
Why shouldn't you join Fractional?
We are unapologetically building an engineering-first culture. This is how we build the team to meet the moment. We overdeliver for our clients by crafting a culture that enables the best engineers to thrive.
We are a professional services business. You will have to spend some of your time with customers advising
We are in-person. We’re committed to building an in-person team in San Francisco. This enables us to learn faster together. For the right person, this is a pro, not a con, but it’s non-negotiable.
We meet our clients where they are. As in-person collaboration is non-negotiable internally, the same applies externally. We get far more done when we are in the same room. You should expect to travel about 1-2x a month.
Our Values
We overdeliver.
We overuse AI.
We “over engineer” the culture.
