AI & Data Transformation Intern
About The Position
The AI and Transformation team builds the AI and data capabilities used across Lazard Asset Management, with a particular focus on the investment platform: research, portfolio management and the data that supports both. We are looking for an AI & Data Intern to work alongside the team on AI products that change how investment professionals research companies and make decisions. This role sits closer to product than to pure engineering. We are looking for someone who can write code and reason about data, but whose instinct is to ask why a tool gets used rather than only whether it runs. You should be comfortable spending time with portfolio managers and research analysts as well as with a terminal.
