Head of AI Knowledge Systems

Remote US

About Us:

At 1848 Ventures, we're not just building companies, we're shaping the future. As a venture studio focused on B2B SaaS startups powered by data and AI, we're on a mission to transform the SMB market in industries like construction, real estate, hospitality, retail, and restaurants. Our team of venture builders, data scientists, engineers, and designers leverage cutting-edge AI to build products that empower SMB businesses to succeed.

The Opportunity:

As our first Head of AI Knowledge Systems, you will architect a living, AI-powered system that turns insights into action. Your work will accelerate the pace of innovation across the studio, powering research, shaping strategy, and enabling our ventures to move faster and smarter. 

This is a builder’s role. You will operationalize knowledge workflows using AI agents and human-in-the-loop systems, establish taxonomies and validation protocols, and ensure that structured knowledge evolves with market shifts. 

You will power the studio’s ability to spot weak signals, synthesize research, revisit past failures, and generate differentiated ideas. Your work will live at the intersection of AI, content, and context delivered at the speed of startups.

What You’ll Do:

  • Design and maintain 1848V’s “AI Knowledge Engine” to collect, validate, tag, and synthesize internal and external information (e.g., venture insights, research, transcripts, market trends, and historical learnings)
  • Design and implement a structured taxonomy, metadata strategy, and refresh workflows across internal and external sources.
  • Implement agentic systems and AI tools to automate knowledge ingestion and synthesis from structured and unstructured sources
  • Identify and integrate real-time data feeds (RSS, APIs, transcripts, webhooks) into our research workflows.
  • Drive the synthesis of multi-media insights (e.g., audio/video/text) into reusable strategic frameworks and venture signals.
  • Create feedback loops between venture outcomes, idea generation, and research repositories to continuously improve venture quality.
  • Serve as the point person for signal detection—identifying emerging trends or resurgent themes.

Who You Are:

  • 7+ years in a strategy, research, or knowledge management role—bonus points for VC, consulting, or innovation environments.
  • Experience with and deep curiosity about agentic AI systems and LLM-based knowledge tools. 
  • Strong sense for patterns across data, behavior, and narratives—especially in SMBs and vertical AI.
  • Highly organized, systems-oriented thinker with the ability to translate chaos into clarity.
  • Comfortable moving between high-level vision and prompt engineering.

What Does Great Look Like:

  • Every research input or insight lives in one searchable system.
  • Venture teams get decision-ready insights in hours, not days.
  • The board sees signal analysis that ties 2025 ideas to unique patterns.

Why Join Us?

  • Be a core part of pioneering how knowledge and AI intersect to build the future of SMB innovation. 
  • Operate at the center of value creation, where your insights and systems directly fuel new business ideas, strategic decisions, and product breakthroughs. 
  • Partner with a team of high-performing builders who are deeply committed to transforming overlooked industries. 
  • Play a foundational role in shaping how we synthesize, learn from, and act on information at the speed and scale of startups. 
  • Accelerate your career in one of the most exciting emerging domains: AI-powered knowledge systems for innovation. 
  • Make a lasting impact by designing the infrastructure that helps 1848 Ventures and the SMBs we serve spot what is next and act faster than ever.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
