Data Science Vice President - Wealth Management

Data can change the way clients experience wealth management—when it is translated into decisions people can act on. In this role, you will lead a team that connects product, strategy, and operations to measurable outcomes through analytics, machine learning, and artificial intelligence. You will tackle high-impact questions, build scalable capabilities, and help shape how the business prioritizes what matters most. If you are energized by ambiguity and motivated by real-world impact, you will thrive here.

As a Data Science Lead in Wealth Management Decision Sciences, you will lead a team that delivers insights and machine learning solutions that improve client outcomes, product performance, and operational efficiency. You will partner closely with product, strategy, and operations teams to frame problems, define success measures, and deliver clear recommendations to senior stakeholders. You will help the team apply the right level of analytical rigor—ranging from descriptive analytics and visualization to advanced modeling—based on the business need. You will also identify and develop high-value opportunities to leverage artificial intelligence and agentic tools to elevate analytical productivity and decision quality. This is a vital hands-on role and manager role so we’re looking for exceptionally creative, ambitious, "data curious" thinkers who can help extract true business value from data.
