Who We Are

Portfolio T is building a venture studio unlike any you’ve experienced before. The Venture Studio works on disruptive, sustainable solutions that touch every aspect of life — energy and water, education, health, food, nature, renewable energy, tourism, media, financial services, mobility, and more. The Studio is also helping to create the world’s first ecosystem of cognitive technologies, including unrivalled connectivity, computing capability, AI, and robotics that will enhance lives and protect our planet.

 

What Sets Us Apart

We work in a fast-paced, collaborative environment with a start-up vibe. We’re good at what we do and we like doing it; we’re driven by our mission and supported by a network of smart, friendly, execution-focused pros. We’re an inclusive team with an entrepreneurial mindset. If we fall, we learn — and use that knowledge to leap even further.

 

How We Work

We attract people who thrive in ambiguity and are always looking for new, innovative ways to tackle old problems. People who are unafraid of navigating a fast-paced environment and can make sense of incoming information quickly, while maintaining strong working relationships and continuing to drive progress forward. More than anything, we attract people who are forward-thinking and values-driven in their work, people who are consciously dedicated to improving our world with sustainable solutions.

 

Who We Need

Our client is an $80B funded company that is developing a new venture called Pyxos. Pyxos has been designed to revolutionize how businesses approach privacy compliance by streamlining and automating compliance with intricate privacy laws such as GDPR and CCPA. Their AI-driven platform acts as an "AI Compliance Officer," interpreting and applying complex regulations to enable businesses to innovate freely with their data without risk.

Two fundamental truths will shape the next several decades of technology and human interactions:

  • Artificial Intelligence (AI) will change all consumption & creation
  • There will be new medium & fabric for every interaction


But the adoption of AI won’t scale without the safe, free flow of data and the key to unlocking this is to create automated compliance for businesses while protecting privacy for people. That's why we created Pyxos, the first data and compliance operating system that allows enterprises to treat consumer data transparently.

We're a seasoned team of operators with decades of experience in data, privacy, and scaled systems, including executive roles at Meta, Cisco, and Microsoft. We're passionate about protecting consumer rights and frustrated that it's not happening today.

Race & Ethnicity Definitions

If you believe you belong to any of the categories of protected veterans listed below, please indicate by making the appropriate selection.

A "recently separated veteran" means any veteran during the three-year period beginning on the date of such veteran's discharge or release from active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval, or air service.

An "active duty wartime or campaign badge veteran" means a veteran who served on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service during a war, or in a campaign or expedition for which a campaign badge has been authorized under the laws administered by the Department of Defense.

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.
