Senior Investment Banking Associate, AI Residency (Part-time) | Applied AI x Corporate Finance

See how frontier AI is built, using the deal instincts you already have.
The labs building frontier AI models have the compute. What they need is the judgment of people who've actually done the work: the reasoning behind a valuation, a financing decision, a pitch recommendation, and the standards that hold up in regulated industries.
Who we are
Solstice Analytics, a team from Lazard, Partners Group and McKinsey. We work with frontier AI labs to bring real investment banking and private equity expertise into how their models reason.
What the project involves
– Client-quality deliverables across IB workflows: valuation and operating models, pitch and teaser materials, comps and precedent analyses, and decks, built so a model can learn from them
– End-to-end deal tasks rather than one-off questions, built out in full (a full M&A or financing process is one example among many)
– The same standards you'd apply to real deal work, including regulated-industry expectations
Why do it
– See how frontier AI is developed from the inside
– Stay close to where finance is heading
– Designed to work alongside your existing job
Timing and logistics
– Fully remote and project-based, on your own schedule
– Around 15 hours a week, completely flexible on when
– Rolling cycles, so you can start soon and step back between them
– We'll get back to you within 2 days: one short call, then into a first piece of work
Who we're looking for
3 to 7 years in investment banking with real deal experience and closed transactions behind you.
