Audax is seeking a GenAI Strategy & Advisory Lead to partner across our 50+ Private Equity portfolio companies (portcos) to identify, evaluate, and implement Generative AI (GenAI) solutions that drive meaningful business impact. This role will focus on working portco leadership teams on developing GenAI roadmaps that identify where and how to apply GenAI, managing third-party AI vendors and experts to delivery on the high value use cases, and ensuring solutions align with each company's strategic objectives. We're looking for someone who can combine strategic thinking about how, where, when to leverage GenAI capabilities for business impact with an understanding of AI's technical possibilities — translating GenAI capabilities into business value and effectively coordinating portfolio company internal and third party external specialists for execution. While deep hands-on tool expertise is not the primary focus of this role, we welcome candidates with strong technical backgrounds, particularly those who have excelled in AI-focused consulting (e.g., BCG Gamma, McKinsey QuantumBlack, Bain Vector, Opera Solutions, or similar AI strategy groups).

  • Act as a trusted AI advisor to Audax portcos, guiding C-suite executives and business leaders through AI opportunities and risks.
  • Identify high-value use cases for GenAI, aligning solutions with strategic priorities and performance goals.
  • Craft AI adoption roadmaps, best practices, and frameworks to assist portcos in planning and executing AI transformations.
  • Provide structured guidance on GenAI-related investments, including ROI analysis and feasibility assessments.
  • Identify, vet, and manage third-party AI consultants, vendors, and engineering firms to implement AI initiatives.
  • Serve as the liaison between portco leadership and AI experts, ensuring business needs are clearly communicated and addressed.
  • Stay current on emerging AI vendors, technologies, and industry trends to recommend best-in-class solutions to portcos.
  • Cultivate partnerships with AI providers, research institutions, and strategic technology firms to maintain cutting-edge insights.
  • Educate and brief portco executives on GenAI fundamentals, real-world capabilities, and limitations in a business context.
  • Lead workshops, training sessions, and executive briefings to foster AI literacy and drive stakeholder buy-in.
  • Develop AI playbooks, case studies, and success stories to propagate best practices throughout the portfolio.
  • Work closely with Audax investment and portfolio operations teams to incorporate AI considerations into broader value creation strategies.
  • Identify opportunities for AI-driven optimization—from automating processes to enhancing customer insights—across portfolio companies.
  • Support AI-influenced decision-making in deal sourcing, due diligence, and investment analysis as needed.
  • Bachelor's or Master's degree in a relevant technical field (e.g., Computer Science, Engineering, Data Science, Artificial Intelligence) OR in Business, Economics, or Finance with demonstrable exposure to AI/ML concepts.
  • Proven track record in AI consulting, strategy, or digital transformation roles, preferably at an AI-focused consulting practice.
  • Ability to track, assess, and recommend emerging AI technologies, vendors, and solutions.
  • Experience in scouting and managing partnerships with AI providers, research labs, or tech firms.
  • Experience driving AI adoption within organizations, including stakeholder management and change leadership.
  • Proven ability to structure AI initiatives, build compelling business cases, and facilitate execution through external specialists.
  • Experience with PE-backed or mid-market companies.

  • Life insurance
  • Disability insurance
  • Paid time off (including sick leave, parental leave, volunteer leave, and vacation)
