- Integrate solutions with firm data infrastructure including FactSet, PitchBook, SEC EDGAR, and internal databases to deliver context-aware insights.
- Establish technical standards, architectural guidelines, evaluation frameworks, and guardrails to ensure production-grade performance and compliance.
- Collaborate with coverage groups to translate high-friction tasks into tractable AI problems and serve as senior liaison on AI strategy.
- Create and maintain enablement assets-documentation, training, support channels-and drive adoption through measurable metrics.
- Manage the AI request intake pipeline, prioritize initiatives, scope deliverables, and communicate timelines to stakeholders.
- Monitor deployed tools for performance, usage, and issue resolution; continuously refine based on real-world data.
- Contribute to the long-term AI roadmap, resource planning, and hiring recommendations for the function.
- Navigate compliance, data sensitivity, and regulatory constraints, partnering with InfoSec and Legal as integral collaborators.
Qualifications - 2+ years of experience in investment banking business
- Deep functional fluency in IB deal processes including pitch construction, financial modeling, CIM preparation, and capital markets execution.
- Hands-on experience architecting and deploying LLM-based solutions, including context pipelines, evaluation frameworks, and cost/quality trade-offs.
- Full-stack prototyping skills with ability to integrate data sources, build backend logic, and create user-friendly interfaces.
- Proficiency in a programming language (e.g., Python, JavaScript) and familiarity with financial data APIs such as Bloomberg, PitchBook, or SEC EDGAR.
- Demonstrated ownership mindset with a track record of identifying problems and delivering end-to-end solutions.
- Strong judgment in ambiguous, high-stakes environments and ability to set direction without complete information.
- Excellent communication skills to translate technical concepts for senior bankers and convey IB context to technology teams.
- Experience designing AI solutions within compliance, data security, and regulatory frameworks.
- Bachelor's degree in finance, economics, computer science, engineering, or a quantitative field; advanced degree is a plus.
