About the Role

Lighthouse Software Group is looking for an AI Lead to build and lead it from day one. We partner with vertical market software businesses to identify high-impact opportunities where AI can unlock significant customer value. This new venture will focus on building a developer-first, AI-enabled SaaS platform, designed to integrate seamlessly into existing workflows and scale through strong product adoption.

Here is a little window into our company: Valsoft acquires and develops vertical market software companies, enabling each business to deliver the best mission-critical solutions for customers in their respective industries or niche. A key tenet of Valsoft's philosophy is to invest in well-established businesses and foster an entrepreneurial environment that molds companies into leaders in their respective industries. Valsoft looks to buy, hold and create value through long-term partnerships with existing management. Valsoft has grown to 130+ companies with 4,000+ employees in 20+ countries.

Lighthouse Software Group, an operating group of Valsoft, operates and manages Valsoft’s global portfolio of wholly owned software companies, providing mission-critical solutions across multiple verticals. By implementing industry’s best practices, Lighthouse Software Group delivers a time-sensitive integration process, and the operation of a decentralized model has allowed it to become a hub for creating rapid growth by reinvesting in its portfolio.

The market opportunity is proven, fragmented, and ready for transformation. As AI Lead, you will shape the product vision, drive go-to-market execution, build the founding team, and establish market leadership - backed by Aspire and Valsoft’s capital, infrastructure, and global operating expertise.

What you'll be doing

  • Lead a new B2B SaaS business built around AI and platform innovation in a vertical software market
  • Own AI strategy and execution: identify, prioritize, and deliver high-impact AI use cases
  • Build and ship production-ready AI solutions that drive real customer and revenue outcomes
  • Partner with Product, Sales, and Operators to ensure strong adoption and commercialization
  • Define and execute a scalable go-to-market strategy, from early adopters to first customers
  • Set product and market strategy, with a strong focus on developer experience, scalability, and integration
  • Build a milestone-based plan, allocate budget, and support fundraising with Valsoft
  • Assemble and lead a high-performing cross-functional team (product, tech, sales, operations)
  • Work closely with technical leaders to deliver high-quality APIs, SDKs, documentation, and integrations
  • Own and operate the business end-to-end, with full autonomy

What you bring

  • A founder mindset: You’re motivated by building from scratch and fully owning the journey
  • 3+ years of experience building or operating AI software, API or SDK based platforms with leadership experience (e.g. Product lead, Startup Founder, or Sales/Operations lead)
  • Demonstrated success in building early-stage ventures or leading 0→1 product launches, with bachelor in relevant field
  • Strong understanding of developer-first products, including documentation, onboarding, reliability, and versioning
  • Grit and resourcefulness with proven success of operating without a playbook
  • Commercial mindset with exposure to pricing, packaging, GTM execution, and customer adoption
  • Excellent communication skills across technical and business domains
  • Ability to drive the overall company vision, culture, and performance

What you’ll own

  • P&L responsibility: You’ll run the company day-to-day and long-term
  • Equity stake: You’ll be a significant shareholder in the business you help create
  • Product and market vision: You’ll lead strategy, execution, and team alignment
  • Customer outcomes: You’ll focus relentlessly on value creation for users

Ready to join a collaborative and innovative team where you can make an immediate impact?
