Private Equity AI Research Contributor
About this job
Aptura, a London-based firm founded by alumni from Lazard, McKinsey, and Partners Group, is hiring a Private Equity AI Research Contributor for a remote contract role in India. The company investigates how artificial intelligence impacts professional workflows in the finance and advisory sectors, specifically analyzing where AI succeeds or fails. In this position, subject matter experts leverage their background in private equity, private credit, or corporate development to create realistic PowerPoint challenges. A typical day involves designing investment memo and board material tasks based on actual industry work, solving them personally to establish correct benchmarks, and formulating precise binary checklists that allow an AI grader to evaluate performance accurately. Contributors help the London team understand the limitations of current AI tools by testing them against authentic investment banking and advisory deck-building scenarios.
Responsibilities
- Write realistic PowerPoint tasks based on personal investment and portfolio work experience.
- Build decks from source documents, populate corporate templates, and make precise edits.
- Complete every created task personally to establish a clear and correct benchmark answer.
- Develop precise yes-or-no checklists for accurate AI grader evaluation of submissions.
- Create one original task involving input files, a written expected result, and binary rubric checks.
- Ensure all submitted briefs and input materials are entirely human-authored without AI assistance.
Requirements
- 2+ years of experience in private equity, growth equity, private credit, or corporate development.
- Deep hands-on PowerPoint expertise covering native charts, tables, and corporate templates.
- Ability to define correct deck standards precisely for grading purposes.
- Clear independent writing skills without relying on AI tools for drafting or polishing.
- Strong attention to detail and willingness to learn AI and data concepts.
- Authorization to share input materials with confidential employer or client data removed.
Who should apply
This role suits professionals with direct experience in private equity, private credit, growth equity, or corporate development who regularly build investment committee papers, board materials, and portfolio updates. It is ideal for candidates who have experimented with AI tools in their own finance workflows, experienced their limitations, and want to help test how effectively AI handles associate-level deck work. Freshers should not apply, as the position specifically mandates at least two years of relevant industry experience.
