AI Strategy Senior Director

270k – 350kSan Francisco, CAOnsite10+ YOE
Summary

Lead AI value creation across PE-backed home services roll-ups. Own account outcomes, drive EBITDA impact, and partner directly with CEOs, CFOs, and PE sponsors.

About the role

What You'll Do

  • Own the outcome on each account: make sure every location is getting the highest value from the AI products it runs today, quantify it in hard numbers (ROI, EBITDA impact, revenue, conversion, labor savings), and turn frontline results into board-level reporting.
  • Diagnose why some locations outperform and others lag, then close the gap across technology, people, and process.
  • Drive expansion into more AI products and more locations, growing each account toward our expanding platform.
  • Direct the on-account team that owns execution (implementation, customer success, forward-deployed engineers) while you stay accountable for the outcome.
  • Be the proactive partner to CEOs, CFOs, and PE partners, carrying the value story to the top.
  • Feed learnings from the field back to Product, Engineering, and Operations to shape both the roadmap and our operating model.

What We're Looking For

  • 10+ years across PE value creation or operating-partner roles, top-tier consulting (MBB), or senior operating roles in trades, industrials, or field services.
  • A track record of measurable impact: EBITDA, margin, revenue, or operational improvement you drove through execution, not just recommended.
  • Customer obsession. You measure yourself by whether the customer is better off, and you do what it takes to make sure they are.
  • Credibility operating at the top, advising sponsors, boards, CEOs, and CFOs as a trusted partner.
  • Comfortable in the data yourself. You can pull the numbers and build the model.
  • You build polished, executive-ready slides that make complex work easy to follow.
  • Deep operational knowledge of how roll-up businesses run, and where the leverage hides.
  • An AI-native mindset. You use AI tools daily and have strong intuition for how AI reshapes how organizations operate.
  • Excited to work in-person 5 days a week in San Francisco with the team.

Bonus Points

  • Experience at PE portco specifically in home services (e.g., HVAC, roofing, garage, pest control, etc.).
  • Startup experience.
