AI Position of the Job
AI Impact on this job

AI handles routine and analytical processing while leaving strategic decision-making and client relationships to you.
What will change
- Evaluate cost-related data for budget planning, as AI quickly consolidates and cross-checks structured financial series, identifying discrepancies and recurring trends.
- Prepare financial or regulatory reports required by laws, regulators or the board of directors; AI generates documents in mandated formats, performs consistency checks and produces standardized appendices.
- Prepare operational and risk reports intended for management analysis; AI aggregates indicators, calculates standardized measures and formats tables ready for analysis.
What AI will improve
- You have summaries and scenarios ready for interpretation, which accelerates your strategic trade-offs and the development of action plans.
- You base your decisions on more comprehensive and up-to-date analyses; AI provides comparisons, simulations and anomaly detection to inform your judgment.
- You focus on management and client relations; AI automates operational processes and facilitates exception-based control and team monitoring.

Your strengths against AI
Recommendations & outlook
Skills to develop
- Develop AI supervision and data analysis skills: master AI tools (LLMs + specialized tools) and interpret dashboards to manage the branch.
- Strengthen judgment and risk management for sensitive cases (e.g., credit, compliance, regulations) and validate AI-generated results.
- Enhance customer orientation and team management using AI dashboards: develop customer conversations based on insights and structure exchanges around human-added value.
3-year outlook
In three years, the branch will function more like a supervision and advisory hub, with more automated processes and teams upskilling in data interpretation and customer relationship management. The risk for teams lies in role restructuring: fewer repetitive operational tasks and more responsibilities tied to control, advisory, and compliance. A lasting transformation, not a disappearance of positions.
