As an important first step in that transformation, you will help lead the initial pilot teams and help build a reusable set of agentic assets and “built-in” controls and resilience (e.g., automated evidence, standardized guardrails) to improve auditability and reduce operational risk.  This role partners closely with product-line and technology leaders across Payments to define a pragmatic roadmap, launch pilots, and scale adoption—translating an evolving AI/tooling landscape into clear, governed direction that delivery teams can execute.

• Support launch and ongoing support for a series of cross-functional pilot Pods, including initial launch, office hours, and ongoing feedback loops (as defined by XDLC program structure)

• Define reusable agentic assets/backlog (e.g., skills, agent workflows, context/knowledge packs, adapters) and drive reuse/consistency across Payments as the program scales

• Partner across CIB and firmwide AI stakeholders to define PDLC/XDLC metrics to measure adoption, productivity, predictability, and quality—while setting up baselines and reporting mechanisms

• Own the roadmap from MVP to scale, iterating the program structure based on pilot feedback and expanding from initial pilots toward broader rollout

• Conduct internal and external research (e.g., peer benchmarks, vendor landscape, practitioner communities, JPMC case studies) to define best practices for AI-led product development and agentic operating models, and translate findings into reusable playbooks/standards

• Support design of an agent-led target operating model for Payments XDLC, defining roles (human + agent), decision rights, governance/RACI, and how work flows across PDLC/SDLC from ideation through production support

 

Required qualifications, capabilities, and skills:

• 8+ years of business and technology strategy experience, with proven expertise leading complex strategic initiatives

• Demonstrated expertise in current GenAI and agentic concepts (e.g., tool/function calling, workflow orchestration) and how to apply them safely in enterprise environments
