Employer : Sovereign Private Equity Fund (Dubai, UAE)

The Firm

The Firm invests globally across stages with a dedicated strategy for AI-native companies and enabling technologies (infrastructure, foundation models, agentic systems, MLOps, data platforms, robotics, edge AI, and vertical AI applications).

Role Overview

The Investment Director will originate, lead, and execute AI venture and growth investments worldwide, steward board-level value creation, and deliver top-quartile returns consistent with The Firm's strategic objectives. This is a senior, hands-on investing role with full deal ownership and portfolio responsibility.

Key Responsibilities

Sourcing

  • Build a differentiated global pipeline through founder, operator, academic, and co-investor networks; originate off-market opportunities.

Evaluation & Execution

  • Lead end-to-end deal process : screening, commercial / technical due diligence, unit economics, market sizing, competitive and IP analysis, product and data advantage assessment, and reference checks.
  • Assess AI-specific risks : model performance / robustness, data supply and governance, compute / latency constraints, security, alignment, and compliance (incl. responsible / ethical AI).
  • Build and defend investment cases, valuation models, scenarios, and exit pathways; negotiate terms / structures and lead investment committees.
  • Take board / observer seats; set OKRs with founders; recruit key executives; shape GTM, pricing, partnerships, and capital strategy.
  • Establish AI safety and governance frameworks with portfolio companies (evals, monitoring, red-team, privacy, cybersecurity).
  • Drive follow-ons, secondaries, and syndication; plan exits (M&A / IPO).
  • Candidate Profile

    Experience

  • 8–12+ years in venture capital / growth equity / corporate venture or top-tier tech investing, and board work.
  • Demonstrated success underwriting technical product risk and scaling AI businesses; comfort with both infra (foundation models, vector DBs, orchestration, chips / compute) and applied AI.
