Associate - Funds

AI Fluency

Norm Ai prefers all team members to be fluent in AI. Successful candidates actively use AI in their day-to-day work to support thinking, creation, and problem-solving. They use it to improve the quality and speed of their work and to continuously refine how work gets done end-to-end.

Candidates should be prepared to demonstrate and discuss their AI usage throughout the interview process, including concrete examples of tools, workflows, and outcomes. We look for practical, hands-on experience, not theoretical familiarity.

This Role

As an Associate in our Funds group, you will focus on the formation, negotiation, and management of investment vehicles by leveraging AI agents to enhance document drafting, comparison, and negotiation across fund agreements and investor documentation. You’ll work on fund formation, side letters, subscription agreements, and compliance documents while deploying AI tools that streamline these complex workflows.
