Role Summary

This is a rare opportunity to sit at the frontier of investment and artificial intelligence, building systems that redefine what’s possible in active management. You will help pioneer a new generation of AI-powered investment capabilities that expand human insight, accelerate alpha generation, and shape the future of how T. Rowe Price delivers value to clients globally.

The Investment AI Solutions Analyst plays a pivotal role in realizing that future. This role combines deep investment knowledge with leading technical expertise in AI systems design to create, deploy, and operationalize agentic AI. These agents will enhance every facet of the investment process, from research discovery and portfolio construction to risk analysis and client engagement. Working alongside experienced analysts and portfolio managers, this role will help deliver innovative AI insights that inform better investment decisions. This is an opportunity to be part of a team deeply engaged in pioneering AI research and modern quantitative approaches, collaborating directly with our fundamental research platform on initiatives that help shape the future of the firm’s investment strategies.

Guiding teams of investors, AI engineers, technologists, and architects, you will enhance the capabilities of investors and shape the next era of investment management where autonomous systems reason, plan, and act in collaboration with human investors. These systems will not only drive superior investment outcomes but also uncover new opportunities and redefine how institutional investors generate insight at scale.
