AI Strategy Lead - Enjins Investor Services

Overview

We are AI builders. Enjins was built from day one to ship AI that works in production. We are a team of AI engineers and entrepreneurs who have been building AI-powered products before it was obvious. Our clients are leading European startups and scale‑ups (primarily in climate, energy, and mobility), typically backed by private equity or venture capital. We focus on building production‑ready AI and data infrastructure for European tech firms. To date, we have completed over 100 tech and AI due diligences on AI‑native companies across Europe. We help investors by doing what we do best – judge the production‑grade AI of firms.

Key Deliverables

• Make the right call on AI‑heavy deals.
• Build AI inside portfolio companies to drive real value.
• Become genuinely AI‑native teams for investors, not just AI‑aware ones.

Responsibilities

• Build the Enjins Investor Services brand: positioning, go‑to‑market, and reputation.
• Execute tech & AI due diligences together with our leading AI engineers for Europe’s most promising AI companies.
• Build, maintain and expand relationships with venture capital and private equity firms and their portfolio companies.
• Serve as a strategic technical sparring partner on AI for PE firms evaluating and managing investments.
• Strategically align the practice build‑up with our sector focus on climate tech, energy, and mobility.
• Own our Investor Services product roadmap, from due‑diligence automation on the back end to investor‑facing value propositions on the front.

Qualifications

We look for serious technical depth and AI understanding, combined with entrepreneurial and commercial drive. The role is open to candidates from three starting points:

• Profile 1 – CTO / AI Lead (technical leader at a serious startup or scale‑up). You have built and led engineering teams, shipped AI products, and understand what good tech looks like from the inside. You’re ready to take that lens into a new context, advising and investing in the next generation of builders.
• Profile 2 – VC / PE Investor (investor background with strong tech conviction). You have evaluated hundreds of tech companies and have strong opinions on what separates solid tech and AI moat from hype. You want to go deeper on the technical side and think along with investors way beyond the financial perspective.
• Profile 3 – AI & Strategy Consultant (consulting background with deep AI fluency). You have shaped AI strategies for a range of organisations and know how to translate technical complexity into actionable recommendations. You’ve also seen real execution of AI projects, far beyond the slidedeck. You now want to leverage your compounded knowledge closer to the deal‑making.

Serious technical understanding is non‑negotiable. 5‑12 years of experience in one of the above roles is preferred, but quality and relevance of experience matter more to us than the count of years.

Benefits

• Compensation: €70 000 – €105 000 base salary, depending on experience and fit.
• Upside: VSOP participation plus a performance‑based bonus.
• Path to leadership: Co‑own the practice from day one and become fully responsible for the business vertical within 6‑18 months.
• Location: Hybrid set‑up from Utrecht, Netherlands, or Berlin, Germany.
• Team: A high‑caliber team of AI builders and entrepreneurs focused on practical applications in climate and energy.
