Requirements

1-3 years of experience in product, technology, operations, consulting, analytics, or a professional-services delivery role.
Internships and rotational programs count.
Bachelor's degree, or equivalent practical experience.
Working knowledge of user stories, acceptance criteria, sprints, and testing, from coursework or on the job.
Genuine curiosity about generative AI and a willingness to learn by doing.
Strong written and verbal communication, including the ability to write a summary a busy practitioner will actually read.
Organized and detail-oriented, with reliable follow-through on commitments without reminders.
Comfort learning unfamiliar domains quickly and asking precise questions to close the gaps.

Nice To Haves

Exposure to public accounting or professional services.
Familiarity with Azure DevOps or Jira and the Microsoft 365 ecosystem (SharePoint, Teams, Power Platform).
Basic familiarity with APIs, SQL, or scripting, enough to test and troubleshoot rather than build.
Interest in tax, audit, or advisory domain software (e.g., CCH Axcess, GoSystems, TaxCaddy).

Responsibilities

Maintain the backlog for assigned AI platforms, writing and refining user stories and acceptance criteria under the direction of a senior product owner.
Support sprint ceremonies including planning, standups, and retrospectives, and keep boards, dependencies, and blockers current and visible.
Run functional and acceptance testing on new features, log defects with clear reproduction steps, and verify fixes before release.
Keep product documentation current, including specifications, release notes, process maps, and user-facing training material.
Coordinate release logistics with engineering and the practice, covering test scheduling, user communications, and post-release checks.
Capture and synthesize requirements-gathering sessions with practice subject matter experts into clear, structured summaries the team can act on.
Triage incoming requests and day-to-day user questions on assigned platforms, routing what you cannot answer to the right owner.
Prepare status updates, demo materials, and release notes for practitioners and project stakeholders.
Collect and summarize user feedback after each release so it informs the next round of prioritization.
Build practical fluency in the generative-AI capabilities used in professional services: LLMs, document intelligence, agentic workflows, and structured output generation.
Write, test, and iterate prompts, and run structured evaluations of model output for accuracy, consistency, and edge-case handling.
Assist with testing AI models, APIs, and tooling (e.g., Anthropic Claude, OpenAI, Azure AI) for integration into Aprio's platforms.
Follow responsible AI practices, including data privacy, data residency, and client confidentiality requirements (e.g., Â§7216 consent where applicable).
