What do Finance, legal and operations in New York work on?

The roles on this page span a wide arc from quantitative and data-heavy finance work through legal engineering and in-house counsel to operational support. On the technical end, a data scientist role in operational risk management involves building machine learning models against very large datasets using Python, AWS, and Spark. Similarly, a staff machine learning engineer at Stripe focuses on transaction categorisation and risk scoring at scale, drawing on PyTorch and XGBoost with a decade of production ML experience expected. Finance-facing data work also appears at the analyst end: a data scientist at Ramp builds models to support finance operations using SQL and modern data warehousing tools. Legal roles range from employment counsel advising an internal people team to a senior AI governance counsel translating regulatory frameworks such as the EU AI Act into internal policy. An internship at Charles River Associates introduces early-career candidates to live consulting projects in finance, intellectual property, and transfer pricing.

Skills and experience employers ask for

Skills counts reflect mentions in posting descriptions across all postings on this page, not formal requirements. Agent-related capabilities and SQL appear most frequently, followed by APIs, Python, and LLMs. Programming and infrastructure tools such as Go, AWS, and CI/CD appear in a smaller fraction. Master's degree and PhD mentions are present but each covers only a modest share of postings, so technical depth requirements vary considerably by role.

Business Operations roles that state a salary

The employers' own advertised ranges, for individual roles at different levels — not an average and not a market rate.

New York office, hybrid or remote?

The clear majority of postings in this collection are listed as fully on-site, making in-person presence the dominant expectation across these employers. A substantial minority are hybrid, with the split between office and remote days not specified in the postings themselves. Only a very small number are listed as fully remote. No postings carry an unknown work-mode status, so candidates can at least distinguish on-site from flexible arrangements when browsing, though the precise hybrid schedules are generally not stated.

Make your application specific to the work

  1. Check degree and bar requirements Several postings specify minimum degree fields or active bar membership; read these carefully before applying, as legal and quantitative roles often carry explicit eligibility criteria that are not always visible from the title alone.
  2. Match your experience level Seniority spans intern through executive across these postings, and advertised pay ranges vary very widely as a result; identify which band reflects your years of experience in ML, finance, or legal practice before shortlisting.
  3. Prepare domain-specific examples Roles here bridge business functions with AI tooling, so interviewers are likely to ask for evidence of both; for legal engineering positions this means legal workflow knowledge alongside technical fluency, while for finance data roles it means demonstrable work with SQL or production model deployment.
  4. Confirm visa and sponsorship status Sponsorship eligibility is not stated in the fact pack for these postings; check each individual listing directly, as this information is not consistent across employers on this page.

Questions about Business Operations jobs in New York

A small number of postings on this page are listed as fully remote. Most are on-site, and a meaningful minority are hybrid. The specific hybrid arrangements are generally not described in the postings.

Among the postings that disclose pay, legal engineering roles at Harvey and Legora show the highest advertised ranges on this page. Lead and manager-level legal engineering positions list ranges starting above $280,000, while individual contributor legal engineer roles list ranges starting at $225,000. These figures are from specific postings and do not represent a market-wide benchmark.

It depends on the specific role. Some postings, such as the staff machine learning engineer and the operational risk data scientist, require substantial engineering and ML experience. Others, including consulting analyst internships and employment counsel roles, focus on finance, accounting, or legal backgrounds with programming treated as a useful rather than central skill.

There is one intern posting in these listings, and a small number of junior-level roles. The Charles River Associates summer internship targets candidates graduating in 2027 or 2028 with accounting, business, or finance degrees. The majority of postings across this page are at associate, senior, or manager level.

Agent-related capabilities and SQL are mentioned in the largest share of postings on this page, followed by APIs, Python, and LLMs. However, these are mentions in descriptions rather than stated requirements, and many postings in this collection do not mention any of these tools at all, reflecting the breadth of functions covered.
