Investment Banking AI Research Contributor
About this job
Aptura, a London-based firm founded by alumni of Lazard, McKinsey, and Partners Group, is seeking an Investment Banking AI Research Contributor to join their remote team in India on a contract basis. The company studies how artificial intelligence transforms professional work, focusing specifically on finance and advisory sectors. In this role, your daily routine involves drawing from your practical investment banking background to create realistic PowerPoint tasks, such as building pitch books, teasers, and deal decks. You will solve these tasks yourself to establish correct answers and design precise yes-or-no grading checklists. By highlighting where current AI tools fail to meet client-ready standards, you help the team evaluate AI capabilities in handling junior banking deck creation.
Responsibilities
- Design realistic PowerPoint tasks based on actual deal experience
- Build decks from source documents and populate corporate templates
- Roll decks forward and perform precise edits
- Complete each created task personally to establish a correct answer
- Write a clear yes-or-no checklist for AI grading accuracy
- Ensure all input materials and tasks are human-authored without AI assistance
- Remove confidential employer or client data from shared materials
Requirements
- 2+ years of experience in M&A, ECM, DCM, or leveraged finance
- Background working at a bank or advisory boutique
- Deep hands-on PowerPoint skills including native charts and tables
- Ability to define correct deck outputs for grading purposes
- Strong clear writing skills without relying on AI drafting
- High attention to detail
- Willingness to learn concepts related to AI and data
Who should apply
This role suits experienced finance professionals with a background in investment banking who have spent years crafting pitch books and deal decks. If you have hands-on experience in M&A, ECM, DCM, or leveraged finance and have experimented with AI tools out of frustration or curiosity regarding their limitations, your perspective is ideal. The position is not suitable for freshers, as candidates must bring at least two years of relevant investment banking advisory experience and deep PowerPoint mastery.
