About AI Solutions
AI Solutions helps StepStone identify, build, and scale practical applications of AI across the firm. The team collaborates across the firm to support training and enablement, applied research, workflow automation, and production tool development.
Roles are organized around three broad “buckets”: Learning & Enablement, Research & Development, and Product, Automation & Engineering. These buckets describe each role’s center of gravity, not strict boundaries. Team members will often contribute across multiple areas based on project needs, individual strengths, and team priorities. The term of this role is for 16 weeks with the possibility of extending and/or transitioning into a full-time role.
Position Overview
The Junior Analyst, AI Solutions (Learning & Development) at StepStone in La Jolla will accelerate firm-wide adoption of AI tools by designing training content, leading enablement sessions, and serving as a hands-on resource for colleagues across the firm. This role requires a technical understanding of AI, but relies on low/no-code solutions for non-technical users to benefit from. Therefore, a coding background is not required but is preferred.
Essential Job Functions
- Plan, prepare, and co-host recurring AI training sessions, discussions, and live demos for audiences across the firm, ranging from small group workshops to large all-hands formats
- Develop and maintain a library of enablement assets — including written guides, manuals, training exercises, demo videos, and prompt libraries — for users at varying skill levels
- Build and showcase practical AI workflows using generative AI assistants, agent platforms, and workflow automation tools, translating real business pain points into reusable patterns
- Provide 1:1 and small-group coaching to colleagues seeking help with prompting, agent design, or workflow setup
- Partner across the firm to design tiered training content (foundational, intermediate, advanced) and align use cases to business needs
- Track, communicate, and demonstrate new AI tool releases and capabilities, helping the firm understand when and how to apply each
- Capture, archive, and distribute recordings and materials from AI sessions so content remains accessible firm-wide over time
Education and/or Work Experience Requirements
- Bachelor's degree in Business, Communications, Information Systems, Finance, or a related field
- 0–2 years of experience in a client-facing, training, consulting, or analyst role (internships count)
- Demonstrated hands-on use of generative AI tools (Copilot, ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, or similar) in a work or academic setting
Required Knowledge, Skills, And Abilities
- Strong written and verbal communication; ability to explain technical concepts to non-technical audiences
- Working fluency with Microsoft 365 (Outlook, Teams, SharePoint, PowerPoint, Excel) and generative AI assistants
- Familiarity with prompt engineering frameworks and basic workflow automation tools
- Comfort with public speaking, live demos, and facilitating Q&A in a large group setting
- Strong instructional design instincts — able to convert a tool feature into a one-pager, exercise, or short video
- Highly organized; able to maintain a content library, track session metrics, and iterate based on feedback
Other Attributes
- Service-oriented, patient, and empathetic — comfortable being the “go-to person” for AI questions
- Curiosity about the rapidly evolving AI landscape and willingness to self-learn new tools as they emerge
- High level of confidentiality when handling firm and client data in demos
