Entrepreneur in Residence (EIR)

About the Company

The organization is creating an AI operating system designed for B2C businesses. Its platform brings together customer conversations from social media comments, direct messages, WhatsApp, email, SMS, and phone calls into one AI-powered system. The goal is to help businesses attract, engage, and convert customers using a single intelligent tool instead of many disconnected products.

Role Overview

As an Entrepreneur in Residence, you will not be stepping into an existing department. Instead, you will be expected to build a new one by identifying a major opportunity, creating a new product or business vertical, forming the right team, validating the market, and scaling the initiative into a high-impact revenue-generating business. The role is similar to founding a startup, but with the support of funding, engineering, design, AI infrastructure, customers, distribution, and leadership already in place. If the venture succeeds, you are expected to grow into its long-term leader.

Key Responsibilities

• Spot promising opportunities that can evolve into new products or business lines.
• Test and validate customer pain points through research and direct discussions.
• Set the product direction, business strategy, and go-to-market approach.
• Collaborate closely with engineering, product, design, and AI teams to move from idea to launch quickly.
• Build, recruit, and lead a cross-functional team as the business expands.
• Take ownership of growth, customer adoption, customer success, and financial outcomes.
• Use data and customer feedback to guide decisions and improve rapidly.
• Share updates and progress directly with the founders and executive leadership.
• Develop a venture that can grow into a separate division or potentially an independent company.

Candidate Profile

• A strongly entrepreneurial approach with a clear bias for action.
• Excellent ability to solve complex problems.
• Sharp instinct for products and business opportunity.
• Comfort with uncertainty and the ability to create structure in undefined situations.
• Strong verbal and written communication skills, along with leadership capability.
• Ability to attract, motivate, and manage high-performing teams.
• Highly analytical mindset with strong execution discipline.
• Customer-first thinking and a genuine interest in building products people value.
• Comfort working across product, sales, marketing, and operations.
• Strong familiarity with AI-first ways of building and enthusiasm for modern AI technologies.
• Experience in startups, whether as a founder, early team member, product leader, operator, or investor, is a plus but not mandatory.

Success Milestones

In the first 12 to 24 months, success should look like launching a new business vertical, hiring and leading a cross-functional team, reaching strong product-market fit, creating meaningful recurring revenue, and establishing yourself as the long-term general manager of the venture.

Why This Role Stands Out

• Opportunity to contribute to a fast-moving, innovative company building an AI operating system for B2C brands.
• Freedom to create and own a venture backed by an experienced founding team.
• Access to strong engineering, AI, product, design, and go-to-market support.
• Funding, mentorship, and strategic guidance to bring the idea to life.
• The chance to build a team and establish a durable business inside the company.
• Competitive pay with performance-linked incentives.
• Long-term career growth potential, including the possibility of leading an entire business unit.

Fit Check

• This opportunity is not suited to someone seeking a typical corporate 9-to-5 role.
• It is also not a fit for candidates who are political or engage in workplace gossip.
• It is not intended for someone looking for a slow, low-growth, dead-end position.
• Applicants should be driven to rank among the very best at what they do.

Location
