Requirements
  • 3+ years of experience in management consulting, enterprise technology, or software, ideally at the Engagement Manager level or in a comparable role such as Technical Program Manager or Deployment Strategist.
  • A proven track record of managing enterprise client relationships and successfully delivering complex technical or transformation projects from initial concept through full-scale adoption.
  • Strong executive presence and exceptional communication skills, with the ability to present in a boardroom, build trust with senior stakeholders, and navigate complex organizations.
  • High technical acumen and a practical understanding of AI/ML concepts, software architecture, and enterprise systems. You actively use AI tools in your work and understand how AI can transform business operations.
  • A strategic, solutions-oriented mindset with a strong bias for action and the ability to translate ambiguous business challenges into clear, executable plans.
  • Experience driving organizational change, aligning cross-functional stakeholders, and helping customers adopt new technologies and ways of working.
  • Comfort operating in a fast-moving, early-stage environment where priorities evolve quickly and ambiguity is the norm.
  • A strong service mindset—you care deeply about client success, take ownership of outcomes, and consistently go above and beyond to deliver.
  • An AI-forward mindset with demonstrated experience using AI tools to improve how you work, solve problems, and deliver outcomes.
  • Hands-on experience building with tools such as Claude, Claude Code, and related AI platforms. You should be comfortable prototyping workflows, testing ideas, and using AI to create practical solutions—not just discussing AI at a strategic level.
  • Experience supporting sales, business development, or account growth, with the ability to identify client needs and translate them into meaningful opportunities.
Responsibilities
  • Own and manage client relationships across AI Aspire's enterprise portfolio, serving as the primary point of contact for key accounts.
  • Lead the end-to-end delivery of AI consulting engagements, from scoping and planning through execution and follow-up.
  • Present to senior executives and C-suite stakeholders with confidence and clarity.
  • Partner with internal teams — trainers, engineers, and leadership — to ensure seamless delivery of client engagements.
  • Support business development efforts by identifying expansion opportunities within existing accounts and helping to close new business.
  • Help develop go-to-market materials, proposals, and client-facing communications.
  • Navigate enterprise and organizational complexities to get things done effectively.

Simplify's Take

What believers are saying

  • IrisGo raised $2.8 million in 2026, with Acer preinstalling its software globally.
  • Netail closed a $9 million Series A in February 2026, validating AI Fund sourcing.
  • AI Fund's 2026 growth-fund filing targets larger checks, widening ownership in breakout winners.

What critics are saying

  • AI Fund depends on Andrew Ng; his absence breaks sourcing, credibility, and deal flow.
  • AI Fund's growth-fund expansion in January 2026 raises pressure for faster, riskier deployments.
  • Copilot, OpenAI, and Anthropic compress startup differentiation, hurting portfolio follow-on rounds by 2027.

What makes AI Fund unique

  • Andrew Ng leads AI Fund, a founder-brand few studios can match in 2026.
  • AI Fund co-founds at pre-seed, pairing AI expertise with operating help from day one.
  • Over $370 million backs 40+ companies across healthcare, logistics, education, and enterprise software.
