AI Operations Associate

The AI Operations Associate monitors AI-driven workflows in production, reviews output-quality incidents, supports fallback and human-review decisions, and partners on trust-sensitive escalations. This role helps ensure AI-enabled workflows remain reliable, supportable, and safe in live finance-oriented environments.

This position will ideally be based in one of our US offices and is a hybrid role with the flexibility to work remotely 2 days per week (also eligible for remote candidates).

This position is not eligible for immigration sponsorship.

What You'll Do:

AI Workflow Monitoring
  • Monitor AI-driven workflows in production for abnormal behavior, trust issues, degraded outputs, and recurring exception patterns
  • Review signals related to output quality, fallback use, low-confidence patterns, and workflow anomalies
  • Escalate issues that could affect live user trust, business quality, or finance-sensitive outcomes

Incident Investigation
  • Support investigation of output-quality incidents, orchestration failures, prompt or workflow regressions, and tool-call problems in production
  • Help distinguish true software defects from model behavior issues, data-quality problems, or process misunderstandings
  • Partner closely with Engineering, QA, and business stakeholders on judgment-heavy incidents

Operational Controls
  • Support human-review patterns, fallback routes, and safe-operating responses for AI-enabled features
  • Help define and apply production review practices for higher-risk workflows
  • Document evidence and issue patterns in ways that support repeatability and better release decisions

Continuous Improvement
  • Identify recurring AI operations issues and recommend improvements to supportability, monitoring, and quality feedback loops
  • Feed production learnings back into QA, Product, and Engineering
  • Help improve operational trust in AI-enabled solutions over time
You Have:
  • 4+ years of experience in production support, AI operations, business process operations, analytics, QA, or a similar role
  • Strong analytical skills and comfort evaluating nuanced workflow or output issues, with a focus on safe operations and clear escalation
  • High attention to detail with proven experience spotting subtle trust or quality issues others may miss
  • Ability to work across engineering and business teams in ambiguous situations
  • Comfortability balancing evidence, judgment, and business impact, all while remaining thoughtful, precise, and calm under pressure
  • Experience with AI-enabled workflows, operational analytics, business process validation, or support for workflow-heavy systems
  • Strong written communication and documentation discipline
  • Bachelor's degree preferred
You Are:
  • Excited to be part of a growing team, with a focus on driving future growth
  • Passionate about delivering exceptional client service
  • Knowledgeable about the relationship between Private Equity sponsors and their portfolio companies, particularly within the office of the CFO
  • Willing to get your hands dirty in the details of a project while simultaneously seeing the whole picture
  • Comfortable managing projects with multiple complex workstreams while also focused on your single workstream (you are managing and doing)
  • A self-starter with a strong work ethic
  • Full of entrepreneurial spirit and comfortable in a fluid, flat organization
  • Able to effectively communicate complex issues and solutions, and raise issues to senior team members when necessary
  • A team player, able to work with team members across all levels
  • Someone who enjoys mentoring others and doing meaningful work
  • A leader of others; you lead by example

The annual salary for this role ranges from: $110,000 to $140,000 + benefits + bonus.

Actual compensation packages are determined by evaluating a wide array of factors unique to each candidate, including but not limited to geographic location, skill set, years and depth of experience, education, certifications, cost of labor and internal equity.
