Are you an IT leader who has helped transform a large organization using public cloud platforms and generative AI? Can you work equally well with executives and technologists, leading high-visibility, high-impact projects that are technically broad and deep? Are you excited about introducing lean transformation models, and modern AI-driven operating models, to traditional enterprise organizations? Do you have experience leading business transformation across diverse enterprise teams, driving change and business value at enterprise scale? Would you like to help the largest Private Equity (PE) firms and their portfolio companies leverage generative AI and cloud technology to improve their operations, accelerate value creation, and drive EBITDA growth across the portfolio? Would you like to use your IT leadership experience to build relationships with technical leaders, C-level executives, and influencers at all levels across the PE segment? Would you like to be part of a cross-functional team that supports specific PE firms and be a key contributor to their portfolio companies' move to the cloud and adoption of generative AI? In this role you will work directly with Private Equity firms, their portfolio companies, and consulting partners to drive the adoption of technology, including generative AI, agentic AI, and foundation-model-based solutions, that will allow them to achieve their desired operational and financial business outcomes.

You will have the presence and capability to communicate the benefits of cloud computing and generative AI to application architects, enterprise architects, platform architects, infrastructure architects and engineers, data scientists and ML practitioners, and enterprise security and compliance teams. The ideal candidate will also have a demonstrated ability to think strategically and long-term about the needs of businesses, and be deeply familiar with complex, legacy IT environments, including applications, middleware, storage, networks, information security, and operations, as well as modern AI/ML architectures and generative AI application patterns.
