Consulting Partner — Software & SaaS

QofAI brings elite consulting and forward-deployed engineering to the middle market — turning artificial intelligence into measurable EBITDA growth across every deal, portfolio, and business. We sit where strategy meets software: working alongside investors and operators, finding where AI moves the numbers, and thenbuilding the systems that get it there.

That means the work here stays close to the outcome. You sit with the investors and operators making the decisions, and you get to watch your recommendations land inreal companies.

This is a Partner-level role. You own the senior relationship and the commercialoutcome for a set of private equity clients, working directly with deal partners and operating partners on one side and portfolio company CEOs and their leadership teamson the other. You sell the work, shape it, and stand behind the result. You work directly with the co-founders.

• Bring a working knowledge of how software and SaaS businesses are built and valued,from ARR and net revenue retention to gross margin and the cost of running cloud infrastructure.
• Find the AI use cases that move the model: go-to-market efficiency, churn and expansion, product-led growth, support automation, and engineering productivity.
• Talk credibly with founder CEOs and product and engineering leaders about pricing,packaging, and where AI belongs in the product versus the operation.
• Own the senior relationship with deal partners and operating partners at our PEclients, and become the trusted advisor to portfolio company CEOs and their leadership teams.
• Set the AI value creation agenda for each account, from diligence and the firsthundred days through hold-period execution and exit preparation.
• Lead the conversations that decide where AI actually moves EBITDA, what getsprioritized, and how the work gets sequenced.
• Win and grow accounts: new portfolio companies, new mandates, and new stakeholders.
• Point QofAI's engineering, data, and product teams at the right problems, and holdthe bar on quality and timelines.
• Coach the people on your engagements and raise the standard of the work.

This is a Partner-level hire. We want someone who has carried a book of business and delivered at the top of a tier-one firm, and who knows software and SaaS cold. We'relooking for people with 10 or more years of professional experience who:

• Have Partner, Principal, or Associate Partner experience at McKinsey, Bain, or BCG.
• Bring deep software or SaaS expertise, with command of recurring revenue economics and modern go-to-market.
• Bring a real business development track record. You have sold work, ownedrelationships with senior buyers, and grown accounts, not just delivered someone else's sale.
• Are comfortable sitting across from PE deal partners and operating partners on oneside and portfolio company CEOs on the other.
• Have a clear record of impact and senior client trust.
• Think in structure and communicate plainly, whether running a CEO working session orwriting a one-pager a deal partner will actually use.
• Operate with high ownership in ambiguous, fast-moving situations. You set the agendarather than wait for one.
• Work where you want, but are ready to travel to client sites as needed.

• Demonstrated curiosity with AI tools, and a point of view on where they earn theirkeep in software and SaaS.
• Operating experience inside a software and SaaS company, not just advising one.
• A network of senior software and SaaS operators and buyers you can call.

This role is open remote and from any of our three HQs — the San Francisco Bay Area
, Pittsburgh
