to act as the strategic bridge between investment teams and technology groups. Sitting within a high-impact Customer Success & Innovation team, you will shape ambiguous business problems into actionable technology, data, and Generative AI solutions across

Private Markets

workflows. This is

not

a traditional Business Analyst, Project Manager, or hands-on AI Engineering role. We are looking for a strategic problem-solver who can challenge the status quo, facilitate executive workshops, build high-impact presentations, and guide technical teams (data, architecture, engineering) to build solutions that drive measurable value. What You’ll Do Strategic Advisory & Problem Shaping:

Work directly with Private Markets investment leaders to uncover workflow bottlenecks, challenge initial asks, and define practical, tech-enabled solutions across research, due diligence, portfolio monitoring, and reporting. GenAI & Innovation Guidance:

Identify where and how to integrate Generative AI into daily workflows—guiding teams on when to leverage straightforward prompting, structured AI workflows, or emerging AI agents. Workshop Facilitation & Stakeholder Engagement:

Personally design and lead discovery workshops,



crafting compelling pitch decks and advisory materials in PowerPoint for senior stakeholders. Cross-Functional Execution:

Collaborate closely with engineering, data, risk, security, and architecture teams to translate business vision into practical implementation while leaving the technical build to the engineers. What We’re Looking For Must-Haves: Private Markets Expertise (2+ Years):

Direct domain depth in

Private Equity, Infrastructure, Private Capital, or Private Investments . You must speak the language of investment professionals and intimately understand their daily processes and pain points. Transformation & Strategy (3–5 Years):

Proven experience leading technology-enabled transformation programs or strategic workstreams where answers were not predefined. Practical GenAI Depth:

Demonstrated business use of GenAI tools (e.g., Microsoft Copilot, ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini) with a clear conceptual understanding of trade-offs between basic chat, structured workflows, and agentic AI. (Casual personal use is insufficient). Workshop & Executive Presentation Skills:

Strong facilitator with top-tier presentation/PowerPoint skills, polished communication, and the ability to influence senior business leaders without direct authority. Technology Literacy:

Highly tech-fluent with an understanding of how modern data platforms support AI and automation, without needing to write code. Nice-to-Haves: Hands-on exposure to Power BI, Power Platform, SQL, Python, or workflow automation tools. Ideal Profiles A

Private Markets professional

who transitioned into technology advisory, digital transformation, or strategy. A

Technology Strategy / Transformation Consultant

who has been deeply embedded within Private Equity or Private Markets user groups. A

Senior Business Analyst or Product Lead

who has evolved far beyond traditional requirements-gathering into high-level problem shaping and AI adoption.
