Skills, Experience & Qualification Requirements Must-haves: • Substantial experience in pre-sales / solutions consulting / technical consulting roles, especially in the Financial Services or Wealth Management space., • Strong technical background: experience with machine learning, LLMs and AI systems; understanding of data pipelines, integrations, APIs, security and compliance sensitive environments., • Ability to design solutions vs just selling features: architectural thinking, trade-off evaluation, understanding of scalability, performance, data governance., • Excellent communication and presentation skills: able to adapt technical stories for non-technical executives (e.g. risk / compliance / operations leaders) as well as technical audiences., • Experience leading or contributing in POCs, custom demos and pilot deployments., • Deep understanding of regulatory and risk & compliance in financial services., • Good project management and stakeholder management skills: managing cross functional teams, setting expectations, handling ambiguity. Nice-to-haves: • Prior experience in using or building AI Agents, generative models and NLP pipelines., • Familiarity with tools or frameworks for LLM deployment, prompt engineering, vector databases, embeddings, etc., • Experience with integrations (CRM, communications platforms, call recordings, speech-to-text, etc.)., • Familiarity with cloud architectures, data warehouses / lakes, data security/compliance frameworks (e.g. ISO, GDPR, regulations specific to FS)., • Experience mentoring juniors, creating reusable technical assets / IP. What Success Looks Like • Delivery of well scoped POCs and demos that lead to closed deals., • Technical proposals and architectures that satisfy both product capability and regulatory/risk constraints of clients., • Positive feedback from clients on the clarity, reliability, and impact of your solutions and engagement., • Good alignment and collaboration with Product, Engineering and Sales: features and customer insights feeding into roadmap, and technical delivery matching expectations., • Reusability and scale: you help build patterns or frameworks that reduce effort and risk in future similar engagements., • Maintaining up-to-date knowledge of regulatory environment and AI advances so that Aveni remains credible and ahead in the market.
