You will use your Private Equity expertise to uncover business problems, identify where AI can create value and develop opportunities that may not already exist. A critical part of this role is the ability to identify where AI can solve real business challenges within portfolio companies and value creation programs. We're looking for someone with experience selling AI-led transformation to business stakeholders who understands how to move the conversation beyond technology and connect it directly to measurable business outcomes.

The Person We're Looking For
We're looking for someone who can walk into a first meeting with an Operating Partner, Portfolio CEO or Value Creation leader and have a credible conversation about EBITDA growth, operational efficiency, revenue acceleration, working capital, transformation priorities and enterprise value creation.

Where could AI materially change this outcome?”.
From there, you'll be able to move the customer through:
Challenge → AI opportunity → business case → executive sponsorship → transformation engagement.
Rackspace can surround you with deep AI, cloud, engineering and delivery expertise. You bring the Private Equity credibility, executive relationships, commercial instincts and ability to convert strategic conversations into net-new revenue opportunities.
