Editor of Finance AI Careers
Lena Arkwright edits Finance AI Careers. The question behind nearly every page is a practical one. Not whether AI will take finance jobs, which nobody can honestly answer yet, but what the first year looks like now: which tool is open on the screen, what still gets checked by hand, and what an interviewer can fairly expect a candidate to know about either.
The guides are written for people trying to get hired into finance, and for engineers moving into AI roles at banks and funds who tend to know the models well and the business less so. The habit behind every one is to ask who is making a claim before deciding how far to trust it. A bank describing its own assistant, a vendor describing its product and a headline announcing the end of the analyst are three different things, and the pages here keep them apart.
What the guides cover
- AI Tools in Finance: Copilot, AlphaSense, Bloomberg, ChatGPT and Claude
- AI Jobs in Finance: AI engineer, forward deployed engineer, data scientist
- AI Skills for Finance Jobs: What interviews test, how the analyst job changes, projects worth building
- AI in Investment Banking: JPMorgan, Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, Citi and the rest
- AI in Private Equity: Deal sourcing, due diligence and portfolio value creation
