• Act as the AIPX Delivery Manager by leading the design and build of robust data pipelines and the creation of high-quality derived data products, ensuring alignment with AIPX architecture, performance standards, and business consumption needs.

• Provide strong technical direction across data architecture, cloud engineering, and AI/ML capabilities to ensure scalable, secure, and well-governed solutions.

• Collaborate with product owners, data teams, and business stakeholders to prioritise backlogs, manage risks, and translate requirements into actionable technical plans.

• Establish and enforce engineering best practices-including coding standards, DevOps/MLOps pipelines, testing frameworks, and documentation-to ensure high-quality delivery.

• Drive innovation by evaluating emerging data and AI technologies, leading proofs of concept, and embedding responsible AI principles across all project work.

• Maintain strong knowledge of big application development and demonstrate an ability to work effectively across the various tech teams of the bank.

Knowledge/XP Required:

• Strong knowledge of AI techniques and approaches, with a proven track record of successfully applying AI in previous professional roles.

• Expertise in AI tools and frameworks to accelerate delivery from "idea to value."

• Deep understanding of Gen AI models/LLMs, with the ability to ascertain and justify which models to apply to particular financial use-cases.

• Experience in following best-practice delivery and production support within a highly regulated organization.

• Proven experience running fast-paced delivery teams with close alignment to business functions and stakeholder requirements.

• Knowledge of Agentic Workflow/orchestration is considered a distinct advantage.
