Job Description

The Company

Post-revenue Series A enterprise AI platform already in deployment at Tier 1 Private Equity.

The platform automates the workflows institutional finance teams run every day: diligence packs memo-ready in hours with every figure cited to source, KYC and onboarding handled end-to-end, NAV breaks and P&L attribution on a reporting schedule without analyst intervention. All of it inside the client's own perimeter — nothing leaving the VPC.

12 person team, West Coast headquartered, alumni of Apple AI, Microsoft Research, Google, Stripe, and Ramp.


The Role

You will own a full Financial Services vertical end-to-end — the operator and architect of how this platform gets deployed, adopted, and expanded inside institutional finance. Pilot to production to land-and-expand. You will act as the founder of your vertical.


  • Own a full vertical inside institutional finance — PE, asset management, banking, or hedge funds
  • Identify high-value workflows and design how the platform solves them
  • Use your existing network to land deployments and expand across organisations
  • Work directly with clients to map their operations into concrete deployment plans
  • Partner with engineering to turn frontline learnings into product requirements
  • Build the GTM foundation for your vertical — playbooks, hiring, scale


Who We're Looking For

You have lived the AI deployment problem from inside an institutional financial services firm and now want to own the category vendor-side. You likely come from one of two places:

  • An internal AI leader who has owned AI strategy, transformation, or deployment at a bank, asset manager, hedge fund, or PE firm — and now wants to build the product instead of buy it.
  • Or a forward-deployed enterprise operator— with direct experience deploying into institutional financial services.
  • 5+ years' experience with a minimum of 2 years directly employed at an institutional financial services firm with firsthand AI deployment ownership.


Why Now:

The feedback from people who've seen the product keeps coming back the same way: not "this is interesting" but "we've been trying to figure out how to do this ourselves."


This is the opportunity to be at the start of the NYC journey.


Fixed salary ranges from $180 000 to $280 000 with competitive Bonus, Commission and Equity.

Onsite in NYC.
