To sharpen our edge, we need to make everything those people learn compound: every meeting, every diligence process, every founder relationship feeding a shared foundation instead of evaporating into inboxes and individual heads.\nYou will build and own that foundation: the firm's data platform, the intelligence layer on top of it, and the governance that makes partners willing to trust it with their most sensitive work.\nThis is a new function, and you are its first hire. You'll start hands-on-keyboard and stay that way for the time being; but you're building an estate the firm will run on, and the mandate grows with what you prove.\nYou report to the Operating Partner, but work directly and independently with every member of the firm.\nWe believe different viewpoints drive our growth, and we welcome applicants from all backgrounds.\nWhat you'll own\nThe data platform. The firm's data architecture end to end: warehouse, ingestion from core systems (CRM, meeting transcripts, documents, email/calendar), entity resolution, and data quality. One person, one company, one deal - consistent across every source. This is foundational; everything else flows from it.\nThe intelligence layer. Retrieval, search & agent tooling that give everyone's AI real firm context, serving both individual workflows (bottom-up) and firm-wide platforms (top-down). Built for passive compounding: the system gets better as people work and as models improve, without depending on anyone's discipline.\nAccess, trust, and AI risk. The access model as structural enforcement, not instructions: who sees what, with identity, provenance, and audit. Sensitive fund and partner data protected to a standard the partnership will trust, plus the AI-specific risk judgment (injection containment, egress, tool guardrails) for everything the function ships, in collaboration with legal/regulatory counsel.\nTechnology strategy and the tool estate. Accountability for whether the firm's tools are the right ones: evaluation, integration, and replacement of the systems and data sources the firm runs on, in close partnership with the stakeholders who use them. Buywhen buying is better; buildwhen building is better. You have the mandate to choose, and then execute on your decision. Make sure security, compliance and budget are part of the equation.\nWhat you'll deliver\nFirst 6 months. A complete map of the firm's data and systems. The foundational data platform stood up. Two or three lightweight tools shipped that visibly improve how a team works. A clear, prioritized 12-18 month roadmap, authored by you and agreed with the partnership.\nBy 12 months. V1 of the firm's shared intelligence layer live and in daily use. The diligence process made genuinely multiplayer; firm knowledge and meeting history informing live deals instead of sitting unused. Measurable adoption, reported honestly, with failures killed as quickly as the wins are shipped.\nBeyond. The roadmap is yours to define. Candidates for the frontier: productizing how the firm wins deals, network intelligence that answers \"who do we know\" in seconds, platform tools founders can self-serve, and operational automation across finance, events, and admin.\nHow you'll work\nBuilder first. You ship personally. This is not a role for someone who wants a team of ten doing the building.\n\nCo-creation, not solo genius. Stakeholders across the firm (investment, platform, marketing, operations, etc.) steer, test, and tune what you build. Within a year, everyone at the firm should be able to point at something they had a hand in shaping.\n\nProduct discipline. Prototype, validate with real users, kill what doesn't get adopted. Usage is the metric; expect and budget for churn.\n\nScale deliberately. You start solo. As the foundation proves out, you'll orchestrate internal or external build resources and potentially grow the function. You are prepared to identify, leverage and lead exceptional talent to help achieve results.\n\nWho you are\nYou've shipped a real data or AI product end to end (pipelines, retrieval, and the product surface) and people actually used it.\n\nDeep, hands-on command of data architecture, warehousing, and governance. Fluent with embeddings, retrieval, and agents that act, not just answer.\n\nYou treat access control and provenance as product features, not compliance chores.\n\nLow ego, high agency, energized by a blank page. Excited to tackle the unglamorous work (entity resolution, data hygiene, permissions) that everything depends on.\n\nYou can sit with an investor, an EA, and a founder in the same week and design for all of them. Venture experience isn't required, but you'll need to earn a front-line view of the work fast.\n\nYou can say \"no\" and \"not yet\" to smart, senior people and make them glad you did.\n\nWhat this role is not\nNot IT operations: endpoint, device & office infrastructure are handled by our managed IT partner.\n\nNot reg compliance: policy & DORA workstreams are owned by legal, with your input on anything AI.\n\nNot a reporting function: you build systems that answer questions, not dashboards on request.\n\nWhy this role\nYou'll have a blank page, real budget influence, direct partnership access, and a firm small enough that what you build touches everyone within weeks. The firms that figure this out will compound differently from the ones that don't. This is the seat where that happens.","description_format":"text","description_chars":5462,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Real Estate Investment"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-09T16:16:05Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":77,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.774,"p_room":1,"age_days":8,"expected_fill_days":27,"reasons":["conf:4","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-10-14T06:34:16Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/creandum-head-of-data-intelligence","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/creandum-head-of-data-intelligence.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-14T22:42:14Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":30652,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-15T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":455308},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=455308"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fcreandum-head-of-data-intelligence"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fcreandum-head-of-data-intelligence"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fcreandum-head-of-data-intelligence"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/creandum-head-of-data-intelligence\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fcreandum-head-of-data-intelligence"}]}
