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. In the words of Warren Buffett, "our favorite holding period is forever."
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.

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

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
