Associate Principal, AI Transformation

How do you turn a decades-old dataset into an industry-leading medical coding agent? Teach an AI receptionist to book appointments in Spanish? Automatically generate working data connectors from API docs? Build agents that write, test, and deploy their own software packages?

Fractional AI is a startup in the heart of Silicon Valley targeting the biggest greenfield opportunity in the economy: transforming companies with AI software at a scale the market is only beginning to understand. Our clients include Zapier, Airbyte, and companies from industries ranging from data infrastructure to healthcare and life sciences.

We were founded by repeat founders Chris Taylor, Eddie Siegel, and Travis May (Founder of Datavant, $7B exit), and are backed by Shaper Capital. Most of our engineers are former founders or staff engineers from top tech companies like Google and Stripe.

We're headquartered in SF with offices in NYC, Raleigh-Durham, and Dubai.

The fastest way to learn how AI will reshape businesses is to go inside and analyze dozens of them. As an Associate Principal, you will be the intellectual core of our AI due diligence practice: assessing disruption risk and value creation opportunities across industries, interviewing management teams, and presenting findings to PE clients. In a given quarter you’ll see inside 4-5 companies and develop pattern recognition that no other role in the market can offer.

That exposure is the best preparation to become a Fractional AI Principal - the person PE firms call first when they want AI advice for their portfolio companies. Between diligences, you’ll work alongside our Principals on live deals, proposals, and PE relationship building. Within 6-12 months, you’ll be expected to start leading your own deal pursuits.

This is not a quota-carrying role, but is designed to grow into one.
