Building With AI Agents:
- Use AI coding agents personally to build financial models internal tools and product features staying hands-on rather than moving straight into pure oversight.
- Set the standard for how the team uses AI agents responsibly: what gets reviewed what gets tested and what never gets touched without a second set of eyes (production data permissions anything user-facing).
- Recognize when AI-generated work is subtly wrong not just obviously broken.
Managing and Developing Associates:
- Manage one or more Senior Associates: their workload their growth and thequality of what they ship.
- Teach associates how to work with AI coding agents effectively using realcurrent work rather than generic training.
- Review associates output for judgment not just correctness: did they solvethe actual problem or just the stated one.
Stakeholder Management:

- Translate ambiguous sometimes shifting business asks into a clear plan theteam can execute against.
- Communicate tradeoffs and risk plainly including when the honest answer isnot yet or not like that.
Required Skills Knowledge and Abilities:
- Bachelors degree in Finance Business Economics or a related quantitative field; MBA a plus butnot required.
- 5 years of experience in finance strategy operations or a related analytical role including at least ayear applying AI tools to real work product.
- Some experience managing mentoring or training junior colleagues formally or informally.
