The U.S. is in a Cold War-like “space race” to lead in physical AI and our supply chain needs urgent transformation to scale manufacturing of electronics for robotics. This transformation will determine if the U.S. can preserve its role as the world’s largest and most innovative economy, reestablish deterrence superiority, and, if confronted, prevail against its most capable adversary since WWII.

About AIC
AIC is a software-led, growth buyout holding company acquiring profitable manufacturing businesses in the robotics supply chain to modernize and scale long-term. Our mission is to transform the critical supply chains that underpin America's economic power and national security.
Unlike traditional private equity, we combine permanent capital with our proprietary AI-native operating system, Keystone, purpose-built for mid-mix/mid-volume manufacturing environments. We underwrite acquisitions based on what we can build, not what we can cut—enabling us to pay full value for quality businesses.
The Role:
We're seeking a Chief of Staff to serve as a founding team member reporting directly to our Founder/CEO, Alex Torrey. This is a finance-intensive role focused on deal execution across the full investment lifecycle —from sourcing and diligence through modeling, closing, and portfolio company oversight.
You'll be the engine behind our acquisition strategy, building sophisticated growth buyout models that blend traditional GBO mechanics with operational improvement projections driven by our Keystone platform. This role demands exceptional financial modeling skills, the ability to synthesize complex manufacturing operations into investment theses, and the judgment to support high-stakes transaction decisions.
What You'll Do:
Deal Execution (Primary Focus):
Portfolio Support:
