About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Program-manage the AI agenda Maintaining a single, portfolio-wide view of every AI initiative across all portfolio companies: scope, status, owner, timeline, dependencies, risks, and value-at-stake.
Run the governance cadence — stage-gates, steering reviews, prioritization, and resource-allocation decisions — in partnership with the CAIO and Vertical Leads.
Manage cross-initiative dependencies, sequencing, and bottlenecks across companies and partners.
Drive initiatives through a consistent delivery lifecycle from intake and prioritization through design, build, deployment, and value realization.
Surface risks and blockers early and drive them to resolution; keep the program honest about what is on track versus at risk.
Engage credibly with the AI Solution Architect, portfolio-company technical teams, and implementation partners on solution design at a high level — enough to assess feasibility, scope, effort, and risk, and to challenge weak plans.
Translate between business objectives and technical delivery: ensure initiatives are scoped against sound architecture and realistic timelines, not optimistic assumptions.
Spot when a proposed approach is over-engineered, under-scoped, or architecturally unsound, and escalate to the Solution Architect appropriately.
Recognize reuse opportunities — where a solution built for one company can be redeployed elsewhere — and route them into the shared-pattern library.
Coordinate the ecosystem of external implementation partners, vendors, and internal teams across concurrent initiatives — managing scope, timelines, and handoffs.
Track partner delivery against milestones and acceptance criteria (set by the Solution Architect), and manage escalations.
Allocate and balance scarce resources (talent, partner capacity, budget) across competing initiatives in line with firm priorities.
Define and run the measurement discipline that ties every initiative to financial and operational outcomes; track value captured versus planned.
Produce clear, decision-useful reporting for the CAIO, firm leadership, and the Investment Committee on portfolio AI progress, value, risks, and pipeline.
Identify initiatives that are underperforming and drive decisions to fix, re-scope, or stop them.
Establish and continuously improve the TMO's tools, templates, intake process, and delivery playbook so the program scales as the portfolio grows.
Capture lessons across initiatives and feed them back into prioritization, standards, and partner management.
Support diligence and onboarding of new acquisitions into the AI program, ensuring each new company plugs into the established operating model quickly.
