AI Enablement Lead
About The Position
Tower Research Capital is seeking an AI Enablement Lead in its Core Engineering department. The role will track developments and releases across the firm’s AI tools, assess their relevance to Tower, and guide decisions about adoption. The lead will work with InfoSec and Legal & Compliance to review and deploy new capabilities, monitor the broader AI landscape, and translate useful developments into opportunities for the firm. The role will partner with trading and research teams to understand their workflows, identify where AI can help, and redesign processes around those opportunities. It will also promote adoption and fluency by introducing capabilities, running sessions, creating reusable materials, measuring usage and impact, and establishing consistent configuration and access across AI tools. The lead will connect users, internal AI and platform teams, and vendors, while helping colleagues navigate access, policy, and procedural questions. The position calls for hands-on AI fluency and a technical background, together with strong product judgment, communication, and the ability to own outcomes in an autonomous, ambiguous environment. The anticipated annual base salary range for New York and Chicago is $200,000–$250,000, plus eligibility for bonuses.

- Strong opinions about how engineers and researchers can work effectively with AI.
- Hands-on technical background in programming, automation, data analysis, or product/engineering work, with the ability to take an idea from discovery through prototype to production-ready and judgment about when to involve deeper engineering support.
- Track record of taking internal tools or platforms from early adopters to broad, firm-wide use.
- Strong product instincts, including asking effective questions, identifying root causes, explaining trade-offs clearly, and pushing back when needed.
- Excellent communication skills.
- Sound judgment around responsible AI use, confidentiality, and operational risk; comfort working with security and compliance partners.
- Ability to thrive with high autonomy in an ambiguous, fast-moving environment and own outcomes and difficult trade-offs.

- Partner with InfoSec and Legal & Compliance to move new capabilities through review and into users’ hands.
- Monitor the broader AI landscape and translate developments into concrete opportunities for Tower’s teams.
- Define how adoption and impact are measured, and analyze actual AI-tool usage to identify where gains are occurring and where they are not.
- Work with trading and research teams to understand their workflows, identify promising AI applications, and help redesign processes around them.
- Enable teams by introducing useful capabilities, running sessions, creating materials that build fluency, and making successful practices reusable across teams.
- Define consistent configuration, access, and user experience for AI tools across teams, and retire redundant tooling.
- Connect users, internal AI and platform teams, and vendors; surface team needs, influence vendor roadmaps, and help colleagues with access, policy, and procedural questions.
