  • Prepare and deliver technology presentations and trainings related to creative and practical uses for AI across Finance Teams, and assist in the development of web content that highlights strategies for leveraging AI throughout matter cycles
  • Develop a detailed understanding of the firm’s other technologies that support delivery of client work within Finance Teams, and ensure that these are promoted and used appropriately alongside any new AI-enabled practice technologies.This includes close collaboration and working with the firm’s Knowledge Solutions and Innovation teams

Requirements
