Context Engineer

What is the opportunity?
We are embedding GenAI into everyday workflows for Financial Advisors and operational teams-starting with simple, high-value prompt use cases and expanding into agent-enabled experiences.
This role is a frontline builder.
As a Context Engineer (Prompt Analyst), you will focus on:
* Creating high-quality saved prompts that advisors and teams use daily
* Supporting agent workflows by designing and refining the prompts and context that drive them
This is a new capability for the organization. You will play a critical role in proving how GenAI can deliver real, measurable productivity gains-quickly and safely.

What will you do?

1. Build and Maintain Saved Prompts (Primary Focus)

• Design simple, reusable prompts for internal AI tools (e.g., copilot-style usage)
• Support high-frequency workflows such as:
  • Client summaries and insights
  • Meeting preparation and follow-ups
  • Book of business reviews
  • Operational and service tasks
• Ensure prompts are:
  • Easy to use
  • Consistent in output
  • Grounded in the right business context
• Continuously refine prompts based on user feedback and observed performance

2. Support Agent Prompt Development

• Work with the Agent Lead and AI Engineering to:
  • Build and test prompts used inside agent workflows
  • Structure inputs and outputs for multi-step processes
• Help improve how agents:
  • Interpret instructions
  • Use data and tools
  • Generate reliable responses

3. Translate Business Needs into Effective Prompts

• Partner closely with advisors and business teams to understand:
  • What they are trying to accomplish
  • Where GenAI can help (and where it should not be used)
• Convert real-world workflows into:
  • Clear prompt instructions
  • Structured inputs and expected outputs
• Apply wealth management context (clients, accounts, portfolios, compliance considerations)

4. Test, Evaluate, and Improve Output Quality

• Run structured testing on prompts to evaluate:
  • Accuracy and completeness
  • Consistency across runs
  • Risk of hallucination or misinterpretation
• Identify failure patterns and refine prompts accordingly
• Support lightweight evaluation approaches (prompt comparisons, A/B testing)

5. Contribute to Prompt Standards and Best Practices

• Help document and maintain:
  • Prompt templates and reusable patterns
  • Guidance on when to use simple prompts vs. more complex solutions
• Ensure prompts align with:
  • Data privacy expectations
