About the Role

The VP, AI Solutions will serve as ATLAS’s forward deployed engineer (FDE) to the firm’s business desks, partnering directly with desk and operations leads to understand how deals get done today and where AI can meaningfully improve the work. This role focuses on questioning and redesigning workflows so that AI is embedded where it adds the most value, working side-by-side with desk professionals to map current-state workflows, identify friction points, and design target-state processes. The VP will build working prototypes, iterate quickly, and partner with the Director, AI Innovation to move validated solutions into production.

Responsibilities

  • Embed directly with business desks to learn existing workflows, tools, and pain points firsthand.
  • Run structured discovery sessions with desk and operations leads to surface high-friction, high-volume, or error-prone processes suited to AI-enabled redesign.
  • Distinguish opportunities for genuine workflow and process redesign from requests to simply automate an existing manual step.
  • Partner with desk leads to prioritize opportunities based on business impact, feasibility, and readiness for change.
  • Design and build working prototypes and proof-of-concepts directly with desk teams, iterating quickly based on real feedback and usage.
  • Apply a forward deployed engineering approach: sit with the business, build fast, and validate against real deal work.
  • Guide desk and ops leads in authoring their own reusable skills and workflows.
  • Ensure prototypes meet baseline security, data-handling, and governance expectations before they reach production consideration.
  • Map current state processes end-to-end and identify where AI should change the shape of the workflow.
  • Partner with desk leadership to redesign processes around AI-native capabilities.
  • Recommend where roles, handoffs, and controls should shift as a result of redesigned workflows, and flag clearly where redesign is not the right answer.
  • Transition validated prototypes into governed, production-ready solutions in partnership with technology, security, and platform teams.
  • Drive change management and training with desk teams to ensure adoption, understanding of capabilities and limits, and sustained usage.
  • Monitor deployed solutions for performance, drift, and usage, feeding learnings back into the firm’s AI governance program.
  • Contribute reusable skills, prompts, and workflow patterns to the firm-wide Claude skills catalog.
  • Identify overlap and duplication across desks and route reusable patterns into shared, discoverable components.
  • Support discovery, deprecation, and ownership-succession practices so catalog content stays current and trustworthy.
  • Act as the connective tissue between business desks and the AI Innovation, technology, data, and architecture teams.
  • Partner with legal, compliance, risk, and security on responsible use, data handling, and governance considerations.
  • Communicate solution value, tradeoffs, and redesign recommendations to desk leadership and senior stakeholders.

Requirements

  • 7+ years of experience in technology, product, or process/workflow transformation roles, including hands-on experience building with AI/ML or LLM-based tools.
  • Background working in financial services, ideally within asset-based finance, structured credit, or an adjacent lending/capital markets business.
  • Demonstrated experience as a forward deployed engineer, solutions engineer, or similar embedded technical role working directly with business stakeholders.
  • Strong process and workflow design skills.
  • Ability to map a current-state process, question its assumptions, and design a genuinely redesigned target state rather than a like-for-like automation.
  • Working knowledge of modern AI technologies, including LLMs, prompt engineering, and agent/skill-based frameworks.
  • Hands-on experience building with RAG (retrieval-augmented generation) architectures and agentic frameworks (e.g., LangChain, LangGraph, or similar), including vector stores, tool/function calling, and multi-step agent orchestration.
  • Experience partnering with non-technical business stakeholders to translate ambiguous problems into scoped, buildable AI solutions.
  • Excellent communication and relationship-building skills, with the credibility to work directly with desk and operations leads.
  • Comfort operating with significant autonomy in a fast-paced, high-growth environment.
  • Ability to travel to or spend regular time with desk teams as needed to maintain close engagement.
  • Experience with asset classes such as CRE, residential, auto/equipment, transportation, energy, infrastructure, or fund finance.
  • Experience contributing to or building an internal tools/skills catalog or reusable component library.
