\n
• Define and lead the AI/ML and applied data science roadmap for Enterprise Solutions, shaping high-rigor analytical capabilities across a complex, regulated global financial-services environment.
\n
• Design, build, and operate production-grade models for anomaly detection, variance analysis, drift detection, forecasting, behavioral signals, and prediction, ensuring they are accurate, explainable, resilient, and regulator-ready.
\n
• Own the full model lifecycle from problem framing, data exploration, feature engineering, back-testing, validation, deployment, monitoring, tuning, and incident response when models degrade or fail in production.
\n
• Partner closely with engineering, data platform, product, and business teams to translate complex analytical problems into scalable, production-ready ML systems that deliver measurable operational and business outcomes.
\n
• Act as a hands-on technical authority and multiplier, reviewing models, guiding senior practitioners, improving data quality and monitoring standards, and influencing decisions through deep expertise rather than formal authority.
\n
• Gain high-impact exposure to senior technology leaders, market-facing financial-services platforms, regulated AI/ML practices, and global enterprise-scale transformation, with the opportunity to shape how advanced analytics and machine learning are applied safely and effectively in production.
