The listing
Investment Banking AI Researcher
(Pitch Books, Deal Decks)
Full time | Remote — India
About us
Aptura is a London-based company working on understanding how AI is changing professional work. We look closely at how finance and advisory professionals actually work, and where AI helps or falls short. The company was founded by people with backgrounds at Lazard, McKinsey and Partners Group.
Role description
We are looking for Subject Matter Experts from investment banking who have spent years building pitch books, teasers and deal decks. You know what a client-ready slide looks like, and how far most AI output still is from it.
You have used AI tools on your own work and been frustrated by the mistakes they make, or you simply want to find out how good they really are.
You will turn that experience into realistic PowerPoint tasks that test how well AI do the deck work of a junior banker.
Responsibilities include
Writing realistic PowerPoint tasks drawn from your own deal work: building decks from source documents, filling corporate templates, rolling decks forward and making precise edits
Working through each task yourself so there is a clear, correct answer
Writing a yes-or-no checklist precise enough that an AI grader can mark any attempt against it
Necessary skills include
2+ years in M&A, ECM, DCM or leveraged finance at a bank or advisory boutique
Deep hands-on PowerPoint: native charts, tables and corporate templates
Ability to define what a correct deck looks like precisely enough for someone else to grade against it
Clear writing. Tasks must be written by you, not by AI tools
Attention to detail, and willingness to learn concepts in AI and data
How it works
Apply with your details and CV. After applying, verify your email and choose an available 30-minute group walkthrough call. You can book immediately; there is no application-approval step before booking.
Attend the walkthrough and enter the code shared by the host at the end of the call to unlock your task workspace.
Create one original task from your own work in about 45 minutes. Submit the brief, the actual input files needed to complete it, a written expected result and at least five binary rubric checks, each with one skill tag. Input-file uploads are compulsory.
Write the brief and rubric yourself, without AI drafting, rewriting or polishing. Input materials must also be human-authored. Use only materials you are authorised to share, with confidential employer or client information removed.
Submit through your account for automated screening and team review. Follow any request for revisions in your account. Completing onboarding does not guarantee a job offer; selection remains subject to review.
