Allied World in New York seeks an Associate, IT Analyst to blend finance, strategy, and operations—building models, dashboards, and compelling narratives for senior leadership. This is a high-visibility role designed for fast learners eager to grow.

You will translate data into executive-ready slides, plan town halls and board packs, and drive automation to improve efficiency. Strong Excel/PowerPoint and comfort with AI tools are essential.

Qualifications

• 2–5 years in analytical/finance/business role, ideally supporting central function at a bank or financial institution.
• Comfort with AI tools like ChatGPT, Copilot, or Claude to speed up analysis, research, and writing.

• Build financial and operational models (budget, forecast, headcount, vendor spend) to support decision making across the CIO's office.
• Look for ways to make the IT organization more operationally efficient, and use modern tools and automation to build the fixes rather than manual workarounds.
• Build dashboards and automate recurring reports, cutting out manual effort wherever possible.
• Draft newsletters, blogs, and other communications to keep stakeholders aligned and informed.
• Take on ad hoc projects and analysis across finance, strategy, and operations as priorities shift.
• Help plan and support offsites, Town Halls, and volunteer events, handling logistics and materials so the day runs smoothly.
