We enable businesses to rapidly adopt, significantly transform and immediately unlock value through our Business AI Cloud that is sovereign, composable and secure. Backed by NEA.

About the role

Uniphore is the Business AI company. Our sovereign, composable and secure AI platform connects enterprise data, fine-tunes AI models and deploys agentic AI across the enterprise. We empower every worker to boost productivity and help businesses grow faster, operate smarter and reduce costs. Trusted by more than 2,000 businesses globally, and recognized on the Deloitte Fast 500, Uniphore delivers on the promise of AI as a transformative force for business.

What they're looking for

  • Working knowledge of whichever side isn't your primary strength — we will invest in developing you further on that side, but you need to already speak the language
  • Deep fluency in private capital markets specifically — VC/PE deal mechanics, terms, and investor psychology. This is distinct from public-markets investor relations experience
  • Strong financial modeling and strategic/analytical skills, with the ability to evaluate complex M&A and fundraising decisions and their attendant risks
  • Executive presence: proven ability to build trust and credibility directly with a CEO, executive team, and board
  • A proactive, high-autonomy operator who is comfortable managing multiple live workstreams in a fast-paced, ambiguous environment
  • Master's degree in Business, Accounting, Finance, Economics, or a related field, equivalent experience will be considered
