From AJAIA's posting. “We” and “our” refer to the employer.
Ajaia is an AI implementation consultancy and product studio. We help organizations move from AI experimentation to measurable return on investment across four practices: AI Strategy and Advisory, Workforce Training and Enablement, Process Optimization, and Custom AI Development. The product studio grows out of that client work. When we see the same expensive problem inside several organizations, we build a product for it, often alongside a client who co-invests and becomes the first customer.
Position Overview
Ajaia is hiring an Entrepreneur in Residence to take one of our products and run it like a funded startup. You will own it end to end: the customer, the roadmap, the go-to-market, the numbers. You get a defined budget, a working engineering team, warm access to buyers through Ajaia's client relationships, and a set of stage gates agreed up front. You also get the kill criteria. If the product misses them, we stop and you move to the next bet.
The first product is the start. As you build it, you will write down what worked, and that becomes the playbook Ajaia uses for every product after it. The role is full-time and built to last. A product that clears its gates can become a company you lead.
Compensation: $120,000 to $180,000 base, plus stage-gate bonuses and an ownership stake in the product you build.
How we expect you to work
You have built and shipped products, and you want to own one outright. Founders and first hires at startups will recognize the job. So will strong product or commercial operators who have been waiting for the chance to run something end to end.
AI use is a core execution requirement at Ajaia. You should be able to prototype with current tools yourself, check whether the output is right, and tell an engineer exactly what to build next. Nobody here will write your spec, run your customer calls, or build your pricing model for you.
You will sell before the product is finished. Most weeks will include customer conversations, a build review with engineers, and an honest look at the numbers against the gate.
