About Kanbrick:  Kanbrick acquires, operates, and builds midsize businesses, providing a long-term alternative to private equity. Leveraging the Kanbrick Business System (KBS), we partner closely with our operating companies to accelerate growth, operational excellence, and lasting value creation. Our culture is entrepreneurial, collaborative, and results-oriented, grounded in practical execution and continuous improvement.  Our vision for AI:   At Kanbrick, we believe AI and technology can transform and strengthen both our companies and the way we work ourselves. With our long-term approach, we don't see AI merely as a tool to quickly automate workflows and reduce costs, but rather as a powerful means to fundamentally reshape how we create value for customers and compete in our markets. At our operating company, our teams often already have great ideas about how AI could help them achieve or evolve their strategies, and we want to both help shape their imaginations as to what’s possible and help them bring those ideas to life. Internally at Kanbrick, we’re committed to quickly becoming an AI-native organization across every aspect of our work.

We don’t see AI as a strategy in and of itself, but rather as an effective tool to deliver on strategy – so it’s critical that this person be deeply versed in each company’s strategy, understanding its customers and competitive dynamics. In midsize businesses, the right solution often isn’t necessarily the most novel or complicated solution, but the one that most clearly creates deeper competitive advantage.

You will be an integral part of the team, helping drive the company’s success and growth while also having room to develop and grow professionally.
