About Aptura
Aptura is a research partner to the frontier AI labs: Anthropic, OpenAI, Google DeepMind. We capture how experienced professionals actually reason, so the models can learn from it.
The role:
Three months of banking work, done properly, without the pitch cycle, the staffer, or the live client. Half of it is building. The other half is judging what's already been built, yours and other people's, and being able to say precisely why it holds or why it doesn't.
- Build DCFs, trading comps, precedent transactions and LBOs from scratch, to live-mandate standard, with full supporting assumptions
- Produce valuations, models and decks across M&A, financial advisory and capital markets
- Review other contributors' work the way an associate reviews an analyst's: check the logic, find the broken link, send it back with the reason
- Judge AI-generated analysis on the same terms, and say when it's wrong however polished it looks
- Work with our research team to turn how bankers actually think into something a model can learn
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
This role will be a great fit if you
- Have 2+ years in investment banking at a bulge bracket or elite boutique (Goldman, Morgan Stanley, J.P. Morgan, BofA, Citi, Barclays, UBS, DB, Evercore, Moelis, Centerview, Lazard, Jefferies)
- Know modelling, valuation and deal mechanics cold
- Hold a high bar and don't move it when the work is nearly good enough
- Can explain why a piece of reasoning is right or wrong, not just that it is
- Are curious about AI. No technical background needed
