You will play a critical role in designing, building, and scaling AI and automation solutions that transform how financial transactions are processed across the firm.

You will work at the intersection of product, engineering, and operations to deliver high-impact automation initiatives that improve efficiency, reduce cost, and enhance quality at scale.

You will contribute to the execution of the Automation Program, focusing on the deployment and optimization of financial transaction automation solutions.

You will work hands-on with data, systems, and workflows to automate repetitive and high-volume processes, reduce manual intervention, and improve touchless rates across transaction flows. You will help design and implement AI-driven solutions such as intelligent routing, exception handling, and self-healing mechanisms that enhance system performance and resilience.

You will collaborate closely with other product managers, engineers, and business stakeholders to ensure solutions are scalable, reliable, and aligned with program priorities. You will support testing, deployment, and continuous improvement of automation capabilities, ensuring solutions meet performance, quality, and compliance standards.

You will also contribute to governance and best practices by adhering to established standards, documenting workflows and solutions, and supporting the monitoring and reporting of automation performance. Through your work, you will help drive measurable improvements in operational efficiency, cycle times, and cost per transaction.
