What you will do in this role:

AI / ML Solution Development

• Design, develop, and deploy machine learning models and AI solutions tailored to Finance use cases (e.g., forecasting, planning, variance analysis, anomaly and risk detection).
• Build and maintain ML models for financial planning, forecasting, trend analysis, and anomaly detection across large, structured datasets.
• Develop LLMpowered tools to support financial analysis, commentary generation, summarization, and scripted insights for Finance users.
• Translate Finance requirements into data pipelines, feature engineering, model architecture, and deployment approaches.

Model Validation & Governance

• Conduct model validation, backtesting, and performance evaluation to ensure accuracy, robustness, and business relevance.
• Evaluate model performance over time and diagnose issues related to data quality, concept drift, and changing business conditions.
• Implement appropriate controls, explain-ability, and documentation to support Finance governance, audit, and compliance requirements.
• Document model assumptions, methodologies, limitations, and change history for audit and risk review.

ML Ops & Deployment

• Implement MLOps standard methodologies, including model versioning and lifecycle management, drift detection and performance monitoring, retraining schedules and automated pipelines, and reproducibility and rollback procedures.
• Partner with IT to deploy models into enterprise environments (cloud, Salesforce, SAP, Snowflake, proprietary tools, etc.).
• Ensure AI solutions are secure, scalable, and maintainable within enterprise standards.

Collaboration & Enablement

• 4-7+ years of proven experience in machine learning, data science, or applied AI with handson production deployment experience.
• Strong experience building ML models using Python and common libraries (e.g., pandas, scikitlearn, PyTorch, TensorFlow).
• Experience developing or integrating LLMbased solutions (prompt engineering, embeddings, retrievalaugmented generation, summarization).
• Proven understanding of timeseries forecasting, anomaly detection, regression, and classification techniques.
• Experience with model validation, backtesting, performance monitoring, and explain-ability.
• Practical experience implementing MLOps concepts (CI/CD for models, monitoring, version control).
• Ability to work in a lowmaturity AI environment, creating structure where little exists.
• Strong communication skills with the ability to explain technical concepts to Finance and business audiences.
