You will turn that experience into realistic PowerPoint tasks that test how well AI do the deck work of an investment associate. RESPONSIBILITIES INCLUDE - Writing realistic PowerPoint tasks drawn from your own investment and portfolio 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 private equity, growth equity, private credit or corporate development - 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.
