• Translate strategy into shipped solutions: Convert AI vision into tangible products—defining requirements, prioritizing use cases, and driving execution with engineering and data teams to deliver production-grade software at scale.
• Drive hands-on execution across the AI portfolio: Operate as a “builder-leader,” actively guiding solution design, model/application choices, and implementation approaches—not just setting direction but ensuring high-quality delivery.
• Establish governance while enabling speed: Implement practical frameworks for responsible AI, model oversight, and risk management that support rapid innovation while meeting regulatory and enterprise standards.
• Build and evolve the AI roadmap: Develop a multi-year roadmap grounded in real delivery milestones, balancing foundational capabilities (data, APIs, platform services) with near-term releases that demonstrate measurable business impact.
• Partner across the ecosystem to accelerate delivery: Work closely with internal teams and external partners to integrate AI capabilities into an open, API-driven platform, accelerating time-to-market through reuse and collaboration.

• Bachelor’s degree required; advanced degree (MBA, MS in AI/Data Science, or related field) preferred.
• 12+ years of experience in wealth management, including deep domain expertise across advisor platforms, portfolio management, client experience, and/or brokerage operations.
• Proven experience leading the delivery of digital or AI-powered products within a wealth or financial services platform—not just strategy, but hands-on execution and product launch.
• Strong understanding of AI/ML technologies (including LLMs, copilots, and agent-based systems) and how to operationalize them into scalable software solutions.
• Track record of driving complex, cross-functional programs from concept through production in a regulated environment.
• Experience building and managing product roadmaps, with a focus on delivering measurable outcomes and user adoption.
• Demonstrated ability to lead and scale high-performing teams, including product managers, program leads, or AI specialists.
