In this role, you will:

• Lead, coach and develop a high-performing team of Data Scientists and AI specialists

• Own strategic AI and GenAI initiatives from opportunity identification through to deployment, adoption and value realisation

• Provide hands-on technical leadership across solution architecture, prototyping, design reviews and technical problem solving

• Design and deliver agentic AI and multi-agent solutions using orchestration, tool calling, retrieval, reasoning and human oversight frameworks

• Ensure solutions are production-ready, secure, scalable and maintainable

• Establish robust GenAI evaluation approaches covering quality, safety, reliability, latency and business effectiveness

• Partner across Product, Engineering, Architecture, Risk, Cyber and business teams to deliver end-to-end outcomes
