Confirmed on the employer's own hiring board on Oct 15, 2026. First seen by Alion on May 13, 2026.
We are transforming the services economy with AI.
Long Lake acquires service business and transforms how they operate through a shared AI platform, forward-deployed engineers, and a world-class M&A / operations team.
We're backed by General Catalyst, Alpha Wave, Elad Gil, and others, with billions in permanent capital raised. We are not a private equity fund but a permanent capital vehicle with an extremely long-term view.
The Role
You will lead execution and value creation behind Long Lake’s investments - owning transactions from diligence through close, then working alongside management teams to drive performance through operational improvements and AI-enabled transformation.
This role sits at the intersection of investing, operations, and technology - underwriting not just what a business is today, but what it can become when our AI platform and growth team are embedded within it.
What You'll Do
Own core workstreams across the deal lifecycle: diligence, structuring, negotiation, financing, etc.
Request and analyze data to distill key findings on the business and share with the broader team
Evaluate business fundamentals including unit economics, customer behavior, pricing power, and cost structure to identify key value drivers and risks on an AI first world
Build and underwrite detailed operating and valuation models, assessing both standalone performance and upside from operations and AI technology-driven improvements
Partner with technology and operations teams at Long Lake and verticals to scope and quantify AI-enabled value creation opportunities pre-close-and execute them post-close
Work directly with management teams to implement strategic initiatives, build reporting infrastructure, and drive change management
What Success Looks Like
Leverage prior experience (at least 1-5 years) from a leading investment bank or private equity firm
You take ownership of outcomes across both deal execution and post-close performance
Transactions are executed with rigor, speed, and strong judgment across all phases of the deal lifecycle
You translate complex analyses into simple, decisive recommendations that drive action internally and with counterparties
You are the face of LLM with potential management team and current partner leadership teams. You can drive discussions without senior level support
Diligence consistently identifies and highlights clear, actionable value creation opportunities and key risks
You love AI and it is integral to how you do your work day to day
