AI-Powered Operations Analyst

Verition Group LLC; Norwalk (CT); On-site; USD 100,000 - 150,000; Full time

Job summary

Verition Fund Management LLC in Norwalk, CT, seeks a Business Analyst to bridge Operations and Technology in a fast-paced trading environment. You will translate business needs into clear requirements and partner with technology teams to deliver disciplined, scalable solutions.

The role emphasizes automation, AI-assisted tooling, and lightweight scripts (Python, SQL) to reduce manual work, while maintaining governance and production-readiness until formal handoffs.

Qualifications

• 1–5 years of hands-on business analysis or operations experience in financial services.
• Experience producing high-quality requirements documentation and working directly with Technology teams through the SDLC.
• Hands-on use of LLMs such as Claude and/or ChatGPT to get real work done — prompt design, workflow automation, or similar — not just casual use.

Responsibilities

• Partner with Operations, Trade Support, and Technology teams to understand business needs and produce comprehensive, well-structured requirements documentation.
• Translate operational workflows and business logic into clear functional and technical specifications for Technology teams to execute against.
• Conduct in-depth data analysis across asset classes, products, markets, and trading strategies to surface insights, identify process gaps, and support platform implementations.
• Engage Technology teams throughout the development lifecycle to validate that solutions meet business requirements, participating in design reviews, UAT, and production rollout.
• Identify manual, repetitive, or error-prone processes across the trade lifecycle — reconciliations, settlements, confirmations, corporate actions, and reporting — that can be automated or accelerated, and prioritize them by operational impact and risk.
• Design, build, and maintain lightweight automations and scripts (Python, SQL), including LLM-assisted workflows using tools such as Claude and ChatGPT, that connect internal data and systems to reduce manual effort on the desk.
• Prototype, pilot, and iterate on AI-assisted tools end to end, applying prompt design, testing, and evaluation to improve output quality and reliability.
• Operate and support these desk-built solutions as interim production tools — monitoring performance, troubleshooting failures, and applying appropriate controls so they remain reliable for extended use ahead of any formal engineering hand-off.
• Document each solution end to end so that successful tools can be handed to Technology for productionization, or maintained and scaled by the team in the interim.
• Proactively identify opportunities to improve Operations processes, data quality, and analytical capabilities.
• Measure the impact of automation and AI implementations against operational KPIs, identify risks introduced by automation, and recommend appropriate controls.
• Develop and maintain documentation including business requirements, process flows, playbooks, and user guides.
• Coordinate across Operations, Technology, and business stakeholders to ensure cross-functional alignment on priorities and deliverables.
• Communicate effectively at all levels — providing detailed analysis to development teams and clear, concise updates to senior stakeholders.
• Stay current on new AI capabilities and vendor releases relevant to operations use cases.
