Founder's Office - Strategy & AI
Dezerv
Reports to: Sandeep Jethwani, Co-Founder | Bengaluru - On-site | Experience: 2-4 years
The Mandate
You will work directly with Sandeep on strategy and AI owning problems end-to-end yourself, not coordinating them across a team. This role requires you to think and talk in Dezerv's actual business language: AUM growth and mix, RM productivity and book size, product economics across PMS/AIF, client acquisition cost versus lifetime value, and where Dezerv sits competitively against private banks, boutique PMS providers, and self-directed platforms.
What You'll Own
Strategy
Market sizing, competitive analysis, and new segment/initiative scoping worked through independently, from a blank page to a clear, defensible recommendation
Models, decks, and dashboards for board and investor and providing key business insights in conversations
AI
Internal AI tools that improve how business teams work, from prototype through to real adoption
The institutional-memory systems the business already relies on for portfolio review and rebalancing
Identifying where AI can meaningfully cut manual effort across RM/ops workflows and building the fix directly, not writing a spec for someone else to build
You Know Who You Are
You can hold a real conversation about how a wealth management business makes money AUM, fee models, PMS vs. AIF vs. mutual fund distribution economics
You go to the data first you're not comfortable with a hypothesis you can't test or a number you can't defend
You have real, hands-on AI-building experience something you've actually shipped
You move across altitude easily - building a model or debugging a workflow in the morning, presenting a sharp recommendation in the afternoon
What We're Looking For
2-4 years of experience, with a clear, specific example of a problem you owned end-to-end
Robust quantitative and analytical ability comfortable building a financial model, not just narrating one someone else built
Genuine hands-on
