Entrepreneur in Residence (m/w/d)

Description

Beam AI builds self-learning AI agents and an operating system where intelligence grows through autonomous discovery.

We transform enterprises from AI-curious to AI-native organisations with automation that delivers results today and learns to improve itself over time.

Join us in shaping a future where AI continuously discovers, adapts, and makes work more meaningful.

About the Team

This role is part of a new venture initiative led by Beam's founder, focused on applying AI and automation to identify, validate, and solve high-impact business problems across a portfolio of companies.

Working at the intersection of entrepreneurship, AI, and operations, you'll collaborate closely with senior stakeholders to transform ideas into scalable AI-powered solutions.

You'll operate in a small, high-ownership environment where speed, experimentation, and execution are valued over hierarchy.

About the Role

Your mission is to identify a major opportunity, build a new product or business vertical within Beam, assemble the right team, validate the market, and grow it into a standalone business with significant revenue and impact.

This role is for highly capable generalists who enjoy solving problems, moving quickly, and taking ownership.

We are looking for people who can turn ideas into execution and create meaningful impact from day one.

You will work directly with founders and senior leaders on high-priority initiatives across Market Expansion, Partnerships, Solutions Engineering and Growth.

• Design and own end-to-end AI and automation solutions tailored to business needs.
• Build and deploy AI agents and workflow automations using modern AI platforms and tools.
• Collaborating with different stakeholders across the company, including Go-To-Market, Engineering, Business Development and Solutions Engineering, to ensure effective delivery of new bets

• Experience with prompt engineering or LLM-powered applications.
• Basic programming knowledge (Python, Java Script, APIs).
• Previous experience in a founder's office, startup, venture studio, or innovation role.
• Not a Good Fit If
• You're looking for a role with clearly defined boundaries rather than broad ownership.
• You'd rather execute an existing playbook than help build one.
• You prefer working within one function instead of collaborating across disciplines.
• AI isn't already changing how you solve problems and get work done.
