Junior AI Implementation Specialist

We are looking for a Junior AI Implementation Specialist to join our team as we support a significant engagement for a global financial partner. This is an entry level role designed for someone who is technically curious and commercially minded. Your primary focus will be to help our firm adopt and manage practical tools that assist in complex advisory work. This position is fully remote, allowing you to contribute from any location while staying closely connected with our senior team through digital collaboration. We prioritize ground reality and commercial judgment over theoretical reports, and this role is central to making our research and analysis more effective.

What you will do

• Configure and maintain automated workflows to assist our research into counterparties and specific market behaviors.
• Clean and structure internal datasets to ensure the models we use for decision-support are accurate and reliable.
• Research and test new software tools that can help monitor real-time changes in the territory or competitor movements.
• Collaborate with senior partners to translate complex investment scenarios into prompts or configurations for AI-assisted analysis.
• Draft clear internal documentation and simple guides to help our team use new technology in a way that matches our firm's logic.
• Review the outputs of automated tools to ensure they align with the commercial reality of the deals we are advising on.
• Support the preparation of client positions by identifying relevant data points and organizing them into logical formats.
• Monitor the performance of our current tools and suggest simple adjustments to improve their utility for high stakes decision-making.

What you bring

• A strong interest in how technology can be applied to business problems, likely demonstrated through university projects or personal research.
• The ability to write clearly and directly: you should be able to explain how a tool works without relying on industry buzzwords or fluff.
• Basic familiarity with common AI platforms and a willingness to learn how to configure them for specific, professional tasks.
• A disciplined approach to data: you understand that the quality of an analysis depends on the accuracy of the underlying information.
• A commercial mindset: you are interested in why deals happen and how sovereign entities or private groups make decisions.
• Reliability in a remote setting: you are comfortable managing your own schedule and communicating your progress through written updates.
• Attention to detail: you notice when a data point is inconsistent and take the initiative to verify it through further research.
• A humble approach to learning: you are comfortable receiving direct feedback from senior partners and applying it to your work immediately.

What we offer

• A fully remote position that provides the flexibility to work from your preferred environment without the need for an office.
• Direct exposure to senior leaders who have years of experience in complex commercial negotiations and partnership decisions.
• A competitive salary that is paid and attractive for an entry level role in the current market.
• The opportunity to do work that has a tangible impact on whether a joint venture or capital deployment succeeds.
• A professional environment that values your time and focuses on your output rather than monitoring your hours.

Working at Gulf Associates

Working at Gulf Associates is different from the experience you might find at a large, generic consultancy. We maintain a small book of active engagements to ensure our partners remain deeply involved in every project. We do not value theoretical reports: we value positions that a client can actually act on. Our culture is direct, honest, and grounded in the reality of how business is conducted in complex environments where state capital and private interests often meet. We expect everyone on our team to focus on outcomes rather than just activities. Because we are a remote firm, we rely on clear communication and a high degree of personal responsibility. You will be expected to think critically about the tools you implement and always ask if they are truly helping us understand the counterparties or competitors involved in a deal. We are comfortable being measured on the results that follow our advice, and we look for team members who share that same commitment to practical success.
