  • Analytical problem-solving skills, experience being effective in a hands-on work environment, and have a track record of success leading projects and developing complex solutions across multiple stakeholders
  • Effective collaborator and skilled cross-functional communicator
  • Demonstrated communication and presentation skills

Preferred Qualifications:
  • Demonstrated ability to integrate AI tools to optimize/redesign workflows and drive measurable impact (e.g., efficiency gains, quality improvements)
  • Experience adhering to and implementing responsible, ethical AI practices (e.g., risk assessment, bias mitigation, quality and accuracy reviews)
  • Demonstrated ongoing AI skill development (e.g., prompt/context engineering, agent orchestration) and staying current with emerging AI technologies
  • Bachelor’s degree in business, finance, real estate, MBA, or J.D
  • Private and investment banking experience
