Department overview:
The Front Office AI Technology Team sits within the Front Office Technology department and provides a shared capability for the development, operation, and adoption of AI across the firm. The team is responsible for building and supporting enterprise‑grade AI capabilities, including LLM‑powered applications, retrieval‑augmented generation (RAG) systems, agent‑assisted workflows, and scalable internal AI tooling.
We develop the core AI foundations required to deploy AI safely and at scale, while also working closely with the business to ensure these capabilities are used effectively in day‑to‑day workflows. This includes supporting experimentation, guiding practical adoption, and helping teams embed AI into real processes where it delivers measurable benefit.
A key focus of The Front Office AI Technology Team is ensuring that AI solutions are reliable, secure, and aligned with the firm’s control and risk frameworks. The team balances innovation with discipline, providing common tooling, patterns, and guidance that allow AI to be used consistently and responsibly across research and operational contexts.
Role overview:
Key Responsibilities:
AI Enablement & Adoption
Training & Best Practice
Understanding Business Processes
Light Prototyping & Applied AI
Feedback & Continuous Improvement
Adoption Metrics, Reporting & Insight
Why this role exists:
The firm is investing heavily in modern AI platforms and tools, but technology alone does not create value. Real impact comes when teams change how they work. This role exists to help front‑office and technology teams translate AI capability into everyday practice, replacing one‑off experimentation with well‑understood patterns, better habits, and repeatable workflows. Through hands‑on enablement, training, and applied problem‑solving, the AI Adoption SME ensures that AI use is both effective and appropriately governed, allowing teams to move faster without increasing operational or compliance risk.
What makes this role different:
This role offers the chance to work directly with trading desks, providing a rare and exciting opportunity to gain direct front-office exposure. You’ll work at the intersection of business context and applied AI: understanding how teams operate, then helping them adopt approved AI tools safely and effectively through training, workflow mapping, and lightweight prototyping. It’s ideal for someone who enjoys ambiguity, values practical impact over hype, and wants to see their work change how teams operate day-to-day.

About you:
You are a bright and approachable individual who works well with others and enjoys understanding how different teams operate in practice. You are comfortable engaging with both technical and non‑technical stakeholders and are able to communicate clearly and pragmatically. Alongside your technical experience, you may bring experience from a client‑facing or commercially oriented role earlier in your career, which helps you understand business priorities and frame solutions in a way that resonates with users.
You have a strong interest in applied AI and a genuine curiosity about how emerging tools can improve the way people work. You are motivated to explore new capabilities, experiment hands‑on, and understand where AI can add value in real workflows. Your approach is practical rather than theoretical, and you are focused on achievable improvements rather than technology for its own sake.
You take a considered and responsible approach to AI adoption. You are aware of the limitations of AI tools and the importance of appropriate controls, validation, and oversight, particularly in a regulated environment. You are comfortable discussing both the benefits and constraints of AI with users, helping set realistic expectations and encouraging sensible use.
You work well in collaborative environments where priorities and requirements evolve. You are adaptable, open to feedback, and comfortable learning by doing. You take satisfaction from helping others build confidence with new tools and from supporting adoption across teams, bringing a constructive and measured mindset to your work.
