About the Role: Grade Level (for internal use): 15 The Team: The Enterprise Solutions Technology division includes workflow solutions across Lending, Reg & Compliance, Global Markets and Software business. Enterprise Solutions provides industry leading set of integrated tools, solutions and data services that help our clients make efficient investment decisions, operate with greater efficiency, and provide transparency across their business and to their key stakeholders. Responsibilities and Impact: We are seeking a senior technology leader to partner closely with the Head of Technology for Enterprise Solutions in shaping the technology direction of a complex, regulated financial services estate. This is a hands on principal engineer and architect role, not a pure governance or advisory architecture function. The role exists to ensure technology strategy is grounded in engineering reality, deep domain understanding, and operational outcomes. You will work directly with the Head of Technology to shape and refine strategy, stress testing ideas against engineering, regulatory, and operational constraints. You will engage closely with senior engineering leaders, platform teams, and product partners to turn strategy into real designs that can be built and run. You will get involved early in complex or high risk initiatives and step in when it matters most, including during major incidents and recovery efforts. A key part of the role is knowing when to push forward, when to simplify, and when to slow down or stop. You will act as the engineering authority across Enterprise Solutions, leading primarily through influence rather than line management and the role carries broad responsibility for shaping architecture, design, and delivery decisions across multiple teams and domains.

About the Role: Grade Level (for internal use): 15 The Team: The Enterprise Solutions Technology division includes workflow solutions across Lending, Reg & Compliance, Global Markets and Software business. Enterprise Solutions provides industry leading set of integrated tools, solutions and data services that help our clients make efficient investment decisions, operate with greater efficiency, and provide transparency across their business and to their key stakeholders. Responsibilities and Impact: We are seeking a senior technology leader to partner closely with the Head of Technology for Enterprise Solutions in shaping the technology direction of a complex, regulated financial services estate. This is a hands on principal engineer and architect role, not a pure governance or advisory architecture function. The role exists to ensure technology strategy is grounded in engineering reality, deep domain understanding, and operational outcomes. You will work directly with the Head of Technology to shape and refine strategy, stress testing ideas against engineering, regulatory, and operational constraints. You will engage closely with senior engineering leaders, platform teams, and product partners to turn strategy into real designs that can be built and run. You will get involved early in complex or high risk initiatives and step in when it matters most, including during major incidents and recovery efforts. A key part of the role is knowing when to push forward, when to simplify, and when to slow down or stop. You will act as the engineering authority across Enterprise Solutions, leading primarily through influence rather than line management and the role carries broad responsibility for shaping architecture, design, and delivery decisions across multiple teams and domains. You will balance long term strategy with near term delivery constraints, operational resilience, and regulatory expectations, and represent the technology direction with clients and senior stakeholders, explaining design choices and trade offs clearly and credibly.

Senior Architect - Email & Collaboration SecurityApplylocations: Great Britain - Londontime type: Full timeposted on: Posted Todayjob requisition id: R6496 Senior Solutions Architect - Email & Collaboration Security - London UK Why This Role Exists The Email & Collaboration Security (ECS) product line sits at the intersection of some of the most consequential challenges in enterprise security today: AI-augmented threats, sprawling collaboration surfaces, multi-cloud delivery complexity, and the expectation that detection and response capabilities keep pace with a threat landscape that does not wait.This architecture is not greenfield. It carries two decades of accumulated product decisions, integration contracts, and operational constraints. The right candidate understands why that history matters before proposing how to move beyond it. Reasoning about legacy shape and evolutionary trajectory simultaneously is not optional; it is the job.The successful candidate will serve as connective tissue across product management, engineering, and the broader Architecture Leadership Team - turning customer and business problems into coherent, deliverable technical direction, and owning the decisions that give ECS engineering teams a stable foundation to move fast with quality. AI-First Ways of Working Mimecast is an AI-first engineering organisation. This is not a cultural aspiration - it is an operating expectation. The person in this role is expected to use AI tools as a genuine, daily part of how they work: for design exploration and iteration, documentation, analysis, prototyping, and research synthesis.This means having a real, practised opinion on where AI tooling accelerates quality decisions and where it introduces risk. It also means designing systems that incorporate AI components thoughtfully: understanding the implications of LLM integration, agent boundaries, prompt and data-contract stability, and evaluation coverage for AI-driven features.Candidates who treat AI tooling as optional or experimental are not the right fit for this role. The expectation is fluency and daily practice, not passing familiarity. The ECS Domain ECS covers the following product and capability areas: Email threat detection and prevention Email security efficacy Collaboration security DMARC analyzer Data platform and observability Analysis and Response End user application integration Internal operations enablement What You Will Do Lead from Problem Space, Not Solution Space The role engages at the problem-framing stage, not after requirements have already hardened into tickets. This means facilitating workshops with PMs, UX, and engineers to surface real customer constraints and articulate what good looks like in business and user terms before any technical shape is proposed. Own Integration Contracts as Product Artefacts The durable interfaces - APIs, event contracts, data schemas - that connect ECS capabilities to the broader Mimecast platform are first-class artefacts owned by this role. They outlast individual features, and the coordination work that makes integrations actually land across teams and time is part of the remit. Build the Architectural Context Engineering Teams Operate Inside ADRs, service interaction patterns, NFR targets, and data contracts are not documentation - they are the substrate that lets engineering teams and AI-assisted development workflows make consistent decisions at scale. The artefacts produced in this role are clear, reasoned, and durable. Govern Without Blocking Governance is a mechanism for alignment and acceleration, not gatekeeping. Structure and discipline are introduced where they reduce risk or improve quality - and removed where ceremony adds cost without value. The role engages the Chief Architect early, pushes back constructively when platform standards do not fit the ECS context, and helps teams close decisions with conviction rather than endless review. Reason About Cost and Unit Economics Infrastructure choices are sized, cost trajectories modelled for new architecture work, and unexpected spend is flagged with a proposed remediation. The frame is cost per outcome - per protected mailbox, per remediated incident - not just monthly AWS spend. Communicate at Every Altitude A one-page decision record that lands with engineers, a solution brief that holds up under senior architecture review, a strategy narrative that resonates with product and commercial leadership - this role operates across all of those registers. Whiteboard sessions produce actual decisions, not just richer ambiguity. What You Will Bring Breadth Over Depth - and Knowing the Difference 10+ years building and operating production SaaS systems, with at least 3 years in a Solutions Architect, Principal Engineer, or equivalent role carrying product-shaping responsibility A genuinely broad architectural lens - thinking about system shape, data flows, and organisational constraints rather than reaching for the nearest deep technical rabbit hole Comfort operating across cloud-native patterns (AWS, Kafka, managed services, distributed event architectures) at high throughput - able to reason about trade-offs with confidence, without needing to be the most technically specialist person in the room Product Understanding - Not Just Technical Understanding Prior close collaboration with Product Managers and UX designers, with an understanding of jobs-to-be-done framing and a real opinion on what makes a product bet good - not just a technical bet Genuine customer orientation: asking what problem the customer has before asking how to build the feature Understanding of SaaS unit economics, the commercial implications of architectural choices, and how to reason about scale from a product perspective as well as a systems one The Right Mindset for Complex, Inherited Systems An understanding of what twenty years of software history means in a production system - no assumption of greenfield, and no treatment of legacy as only debt; it is accumulated context Structure and discipline as cognitive defaults, not imposed processes - thorough, well-reasoned artefacts, and a habit of leaving things clearer than they were found An ability to connect dots across a large picture with many moving parts, make a call, and communicate it clearly - rather than waiting for certainty that will not arrive Self-Direction and Strategic Initiative A proactive self-starter who identifies the right problems to work on without being told, and drives them to resolution Comfortable acting independently within a set of principles, while keeping the right stakeholders informed and in sync - not seeking permission, but maintaining alignment Thrives with ambiguity and treats it as a problem to be structured, not a reason to pause Learning Orientation - Not Encyclopaedic Knowledge Able to reach a solution even without all the knowledge in front of them - a problem-solver who knows how to navigate to an answer, not a mnemonic database AI tooling treated as a core capability multiplier, with a real daily practice in design work, documentation, research synthesis, and prototyping Stays ahead of where the market and the technology are going, and brings that signal back into product and architecture decisions Bonus Points Background in email security, threat detection, DLP, identity, or data platforms Familiarity with agentic AI, MCP (Model Context Protocol), or LLM application architecture Experience with eval design for AI features, product discovery practices, or data contract / data mesh approaches Exposure to M365 or GWS integration patterns, SMTP relay architecture, or cloud-native security SaaS What We Offer Impact : architecture decisions that protect millions of mailboxes and shape the technical direction of one of Mimecast's core product pillars Voice : a direct working relationship with the Chief Architect and a genuine say in technology direction - not an advisory lane Senior peers : a small, high-trust Architecture Leadership Team where everyone operates at a high level Qualifications Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field - or equivalent demonstrable experience 10+ years of professional software engineering and architecture experience, with at least 3 years in a senior architecture or principal engineering role A track record of product-shaping responsibility, not just technical delivery Active, daily use of AI development tools in a professional setting - not experimentation, practice Mimecast is an equal opportunity employer committed to an inclusive and diverse workplace. The base salary range for this position is £124,000 - £186,000 base + benefits. This reflects the minimum and maximum target for new hire salaries for this position.

Citi's COO Technology organization is building one of the most consequential AI platforms in global financial services - and this is the role that leads it. The Head of AI Solutions is a newly created, executive-level position with a clear mandate: architect a unified AI strategy, build a world class engineering team, and deliver production grade AI at scale across the operational nerve center of a global bank. This is not a coordination or advisory role. It is a builder's role - one with the budget, the mandate, and the organizational reach to make it real. Responsibilities AI Strategy & Platform Architecture Define and own the multi year AI strategy for the COO Technology portfolio; translate business intent into a concrete, milestone driven execution roadmap with measurable outcomes Develop architecture blueprints and end to end systems design for Generative AI and agentic workflows across diverse operational domains Build the shared AI platform - reusable models, tooling, guardrails, evaluation frameworks, and accelerators - that reduces duplication, lowers cost, and enables faster adoption across COO Establish and enforce engineering standards, architectural guardrails, and development patterns across all AI initiatives Define a rigorous total cost of ownership model for developing, deploying, and sustaining AI in production Identify and evaluate emerging GenAI technologies, foundation models, and agent frameworks - and make deliberate, defensible decisions on where to build, buy, or partner Production AI Delivery at Enterprise Scale Lead end to end delivery of AI solutions across high complexity, regulated operational environments - from architecture through production deployment, monitoring, and continuous improvement Drive the agentic product development lifecycle: runtime harness design, evaluation frameworks, human in the loop workflows, feedback loops, and production readiness criteria Manage cross functional delivery spanning engineering, product, data, architecture, cyber, risk & compliance, and operations Proactively identify and resolve dependencies, critical path risks, and systemic delivery blockers; ensure on time, on budget execution Ensure all AI solutions meet production grade standards: stability, scalability, auditability, explainability, and regulatory compliance Executive Partnership & AI Governance Serve as the senior AI executive point of contact for COO function leads - partnering directly with the Heads of Core Operations Technology, Shared Services Technology, and Controls Technology Lead AI governance forums and Architecture Review Boards; establish clear decision rights and review cadences across the portfolio Translate complex technical realities into clear, compelling narratives for senior non technical audiences - including COO, CIO, and regulatory stakeholders Develop executive level communications - steering committee materials, portfolio dashboards, and milestone tracking - that improve decision velocity and reduce execution risk Ensure full adherence to Citi's internal policies, risk and control frameworks, model risk management (MRM) standards, and applicable regulatory requirements Building the AI Engineering Organization Build, structure, and lead a high performing AI engineering function aligned to COO's operational priorities - including team topology, operating model, and career pathways Foster a culture of technical excellence, intellectual curiosity, and pragmatic innovation: engineers who ship production solutions, not prototypes Own and manage the AI technology portfolio budget ( $200M), driving disciplined funding allocation, financial transparency, and cost to serve accountability Lead productivity and efficiency programs with measurable targets across cycle time, quality, throughput, and engineering leverage Define and optimize vendor and partner strategy, including strategic AI platform partnerships (e.g., Google, Anthropic), third party tooling, and outsourced delivery models Qualifications 15+ years of experience in Technology - Required: Generative AI & LLM Engineering: Deep, hands on expertise in large language models including model selection, fine tuning, prompt engineering, retrieval augmented generation (RAG), vector database design, and evaluation methodologies. You understand how models behave in production, not just in demos. Agentic Systems Design: Proven experience designing and deploying multi agent architectures and orchestration frameworks (e.g., LangGraph, AutoGen, CrewAI); tool use patterns, human in the loop workflows, and agentic safety at enterprise scale. AI/ML Engineering & MLOps: Full AI/ML lifecycle ownership-training pipelines, model deployment, versioning, monitoring, drift detection, observability (e.g., Weights & Biases, Arize), and lifecycle management using platforms such as MLflow, Vertex AI, or SageMaker. Cloud AI Platforms: Demonstrated deployment of AI workloads on AWS, GCP, and/or Azure including managed ML services, scalable inference infrastructure, and vector stores. Programming & Frameworks: Strong Python proficiency; working knowledge of PyTorch or TensorFlow; applied experience with AI application frameworks (LangChain, LlamaIndex, or equivalents). Enterprise AI Architecture: Designing AI systems for regulated production environments: data security, model explainability, audit logging, access controls, and integration with legacy systems. Leadership & Delivery - Required: 15+ years in technology, with a proven record of leading large scale engineering organizations through build out and transformation. 10+ years of management experience, including direct leadership of senior engineers and architects, and management of managers across global teams. Demonstrated delivery of enterprise AI solutions with realized measurable business outcomes - not just successful pilots or proofs of concept. Experience managing large, complex technology budgets ($50M+) with accountability for financial transparency and ROI. Track record of operating effectively in matrixed, cross functional organizations at the intersection of technology and operations. Domain & Contextual Knowledge - Strongly Preferred Deep familiarity with financial services operations and the regulatory landscape - particularly KYC/AML, fraud, reconciliations, and regulatory reporting. Strong understanding of model risk management (MRM) and what it takes to move AI from development to production under regulatory scrutiny. Experience engaging with strategic technology partners (cloud providers, AI platform companies) at an executive level. Leadership Profile You build platforms, not point solutions - you instinctively seek the reusable, the shared, the scalable. You are equally credible in a deep technical architecture review and a board level strategy discussion. You attract, develop, and retain strong technical talent - engineers want to work for you because they grow. You operate with clarity and urgency in ambiguous environments; complexity energizes rather than paralyzes you. You communicate with precision - you can make a complex AI architecture concept land with a CRO, a COO, and a principal engineer, and you do it differently for each. Education Bachelor's degree required; Master's in CS, AI/ML, or related field preferred. What Success Looks Like Establish the AI engineering team and operating model - hire and structure a high performing team with clear roles, responsibilities, and a strong culture. Deliver 3+ production grade agentic AI systems across priority COO domains, with measurable operational impact (cost, speed, quality, or risk reduction). Launch the shared AI platform - reusable RAG infrastructure, evaluation frameworks, and common tooling adopted across COO Technology. Define and align the multi year AI roadmap with COO function leads and the Head of COO Technology, with clear prioritization, milestones, and funding allocation. Establish AI governance - Architecture Review Boards, model risk processes, and compliance frameworks embedded in the delivery lifecycle. Why This Role Scale that is rare. You will build AI capabilities across one of the world's most operationally complex banking platforms - with direct, measurable impact on how trillions of dollars in transactions are processed, controlled, and reported daily. Greenfield mandate. The team, the platform, and the strategy are yours to define. You will set the architectural direction, the engineering culture, and the standards that govern AI across the COO portfolio. Uniquely hard problems. Banking operations at this scale generate AI challenges that simply do not exist elsewhere - legacy system integration, regulatory auditability requirements, multi jurisdictional data constraints, and the need for explainability in consequential decisions. If you want to solve problems that matter and that are genuinely difficult, this is the role. Executive visibility and sponsorship. This role has CIO and COO level visibility, a clear organizational mandate, and the budget to execute without delay. Strategic partnerships. Collaborate directly with Google, Anthropic, and leading cloud AI providers to design and deploy core platform capabilities at scale.

Citi's COO Technology organization is building one of the most consequential AI platforms in global financial services - and this is the role that leads it. The Head of AI Solutions is a newly created, executive-level position with a clear mandate: architect a unified AI strategy, build a world class engineering team, and deliver production grade AI at scale across the operational nerve center of a global bank. This is not a coordination or advisory role. It is a builder's role - one with the budget, the mandate, and the organizational reach to make it real. You will own the AI strategy and delivery capability across a $200M+ technology portfolio spanning some of the most operationally complex domains in banking: KYC, fraud detection, wholesale lending operations, global reconciliations, cash management, payments control, non financial regulatory reporting, payroll, and international operations. The scale is significant, the problems are unsolved at this level of complexity, and the impact is direct - the solutions you build will influence how trillions of dollars in transactions flow daily, how regulatory risk is managed, and how Citi's operational infrastructure evolves over the next decade. Unlike a role at a pure play technology company, you will be solving AI challenges where failure has regulatory and systemic consequence - and where success reshapes the economics and resilience of critical global operations. The ambiguity is real, the stakes are high, and the opportunity for lasting impact is unmatched. This role reports directly to the Head of COO Technology. Responsibilities: AI Strategy & Platform Architecture: Define and own the multi year AI strategy for the COO Technology portfolio; translate business intent into a concrete, milestone driven execution roadmap with measurable outcomes Develop architecture blueprints and end to end systems design for Generative AI and agentic workflows across diverse operational domains Build the shared AI platform - reusable models, tooling, guardrails, evaluation frameworks, and accelerators - that reduces duplication, lowers cost, and enables faster adoption across COO Establish and enforce engineering standards, architectural guardrails, and development patterns across all AI initiatives Define a rigorous total cost of ownership model for developing, deploying, and sustaining AI in production Identify and evaluate emerging GenAI technologies, foundation models, and agent frameworks - and make deliberate, defensible decisions on where to build, buy, or partner Production AI Delivery at Enterprise Scale Lead end to end delivery of AI solutions across high complexity, regulated operational environments - from architecture through production deployment, monitoring, and continuous improvement Drive the agentic product development lifecycle: runtime harness design, evaluation frameworks, human in the loop workflows, feedback loops, and production readiness criteria Manage cross functional delivery spanning engineering, product, data, architecture, cyber, risk & compliance, and operations Proactively identify and resolve dependencies, critical path risks, and systemic delivery blockers; ensure on time, on budget execution Ensure all AI solutions meet production grade standards: stability, scalability, auditability, explainability, and regulatory compliance Executive Partnership & AI Governance Serve as the senior AI executive point of contact for COO function leads - partnering directly with the Heads of Core Operations Technology, Shared Services Technology, and Controls Technology Lead AI governance forums and Architecture Review Boards; establish clear decision rights and review cadences across the portfolio Translate complex technical realities into clear, compelling narratives for senior non technical audiences - including COO, CIO, and regulatory stakeholders Develop executive level communications - steering committee materials, portfolio dashboards, and milestone tracking - that improve decision velocity and reduce execution risk Ensure full adherence to Citi's internal policies, risk and control frameworks, model risk management (MRM) standards, and applicable regulatory requirements Building the AI Engineering Organization Build, structure, and lead a high performing AI engineering function aligned to COO's operational priorities - including team topology, operating model, and career pathways Foster a culture of technical excellence, intellectual curiosity, and pragmatic innovation: engineers who ship production solutions, not prototypes Own and manage the AI technology portfolio budget ( $200M), driving disciplined funding allocation, financial transparency, and cost to serve accountability Lead productivity and efficiency programs with measurable targets across cycle time, quality, throughput, and engineering leverage Define and optimize vendor and partner strategy, including strategic AI platform partnerships (e.g., Google, Anthropic), third party tooling, and outsourced delivery models Qualifications: Technological 15+ years of experience in Technology - Required Generative AI & LLM Engineering: Deep, hands on expertise in large language models including model selection, fine tuning, prompt engineering, retrieval augmented generation (RAG), vector database design, and evaluation methodologies. You understand how models behave in production, not just in demos. Agentic Systems Design: Proven experience designing and deploying multi agent architectures and orchestration frameworks (e.g., LangGraph, AutoGen, CrewAI); tool use patterns, human in the loop workflows, and agentic safety at enterprise scale. AI/ML Engineering & MLOps: Full AI/ML lifecycle ownership: training pipelines, model deployment, versioning, monitoring, drift detection, observability (e.g., Weights & Biases, Arize), and lifecycle management using platforms such as MLflow, Vertex AI, or SageMaker. Cloud AI Platforms: Demonstrated deployment of AI workloads on AWS, GCP, and/or Azure including managed ML services, scalable inference infrastructure, and vector stores. Programming & Frameworks: Strong Python proficiency; working knowledge of PyTorch or TensorFlow; applied experience with AI application frameworks (LangChain, LlamaIndex, or equivalents). Enterprise AI Architecture: Designing AI systems for regulated production environments: data security, model explainability, audit logging, access controls, and integration with legacy systems. Leadership & Delivery - Required 15+ years in technology, with a proven record of leading large scale engineering organizations through build out and transformation. 10+ years of management experience, including direct leadership of senior engineers and architects, and management of managers across global teams. Demonstrated delivery of enterprise AI solutions with realized measurable business outcomes - not just successful pilots or proofs of concept. Experience managing large, complex technology budgets ($50M+) with accountability for financial transparency and ROI. Track record of operating effectively in matrixed, cross functional organizations at the intersection of technology and operations. Domain & Contextual Knowledge - Strongly Preferred Deep familiarity with financial services operations and the regulatory landscape - particularly KYC/AML, fraud, reconciliations, and regulatory reporting. Strong understanding of model risk management (MRM) and what it takes to move AI from development to production under regulatory scrutiny. Experience engaging with strategic technology partners (cloud providers, AI platform companies) at an executive level. Leadership Profile You build platforms, not point solutions - you instinctively seek the reusable, the shared, the scalable. You are equally credible in a deep technical architecture review and a board level strategy discussion. You attract, develop, and retain strong technical talent - engineers want to work for you because they grow. You operate with clarity and urgency in ambiguous environments; complexity energizes rather than paralyzes you. You communicate with precision - you can make a complex AI architecture concept land with a CRO, a COO, and a principal engineer, and you do it differently for each. Education: Bachelors required; Master's in CS, AI/ML, or related field preferred. What success looks like: Establish the AI engineering team and operating model - hire and structure a high performing team with clear roles, responsibilities, and a strong culture. Deliver 3+ production grade agentic AI systems across priority COO domains, with measurable operational impact (cost, speed, quality, or risk reduction). Launch the shared AI platform - reusable RAG infrastructure, evaluation frameworks, and common tooling adopted across COO Technology. Define and align the multi year AI roadmap with COO function leads and the Head of COO Technology, with clear prioritization, milestones, and funding allocation. Establish AI governance - Architecture Review Boards, model risk processes, and compliance frameworks embedded in the delivery lifecycle.

You will own the AI strategy and delivery capability across a $200M+ technology portfolio spanning some of the most operationally complex domains in banking: KYC, fraud detection, wholesale lending operations, global reconciliations, cash management, payments control, non financial regulatory reporting, payroll, and international operations. The scale is significant, the problems are unsolved at this level of complexity, and the impact is direct - the solutions you build will influence how trillions of dollars in transactions flow daily, how regulatory risk is managed, and how Citi's operational infrastructure evolves over the next decade. Unlike a role at a pure play technology company, you will be solving AI challenges where failure has regulatory and systemic consequence - and where success reshapes the economics and resilience of critical global operations. The ambiguity is real, the stakes are high, and the opportunity for lasting impact is unmatched. This role reports directly to the Head of COO Technology. Responsibilities: AI Strategy & Platform Architecture: Define and own the multi year AI strategy for the COO Technology portfolio; translate business intent into a concrete, milestone driven execution roadmap with measurable outcomes Develop architecture blueprints and end to end systems design for Generative AI and agentic workflows across diverse operational domains Build the shared AI platform - reusable models, tooling, guardrails, evaluation frameworks, and accelerators - that reduces duplication, lowers cost, and enables faster adoption across COO Establish and enforce engineering standards, architectural guardrails, and development patterns across all AI initiatives Define a rigorous total cost of ownership model for developing, deploying, and sustaining AI in production Identify and evaluate emerging GenAI technologies, foundation models, and agent frameworks - and make deliberate, defensible decisions on where to build, buy, or partner Production AI Delivery at Enterprise Scale Lead end to end delivery of AI solutions across high complexity, regulated operational environments - from architecture through production deployment, monitoring, and continuous improvement Drive the agentic product development lifecycle: runtime harness design, evaluation frameworks, human in the loop workflows, feedback loops, and production readiness criteria Manage cross functional delivery spanning engineering, product, data, architecture, cyber, risk & compliance, and operations Proactively identify and resolve dependencies, critical path risks, and systemic delivery blockers; ensure on time, on budget execution Ensure all AI solutions meet production grade standards: stability, scalability, auditability, explainability, and regulatory compliance Executive Partnership & AI Governance Serve as the senior AI executive point of contact for COO function leads - partnering directly with the Heads of Core Operations Technology, Shared Services Technology, and Controls Technology Lead AI governance forums and Architecture Review Boards; establish clear decision rights and review cadences across the portfolio Translate complex technical realities into clear, compelling narratives for senior non technical audiences - including COO, CIO, and regulatory stakeholders Develop executive level communications - steering committee materials, portfolio dashboards, and milestone tracking - that improve decision velocity and reduce execution risk Ensure full adherence to Citi's internal policies, risk and control frameworks, model risk management (MRM) standards, and applicable regulatory requirements Building the AI Engineering Organization Build, structure, and lead a high performing AI engineering function aligned to COO's operational priorities - including team topology, operating model, and career pathways Foster a culture of technical excellence, intellectual curiosity, and pragmatic innovation: engineers who ship production solutions, not prototypes Own and manage the AI technology portfolio budget ( $200M), driving disciplined funding allocation, financial transparency, and cost to serve accountability Lead productivity and efficiency programs with measurable targets across cycle time, quality, throughput, and engineering leverage Define and optimize vendor and partner strategy, including strategic AI platform partnerships (e.g., Google, Anthropic), third party tooling, and outsourced delivery models Qualifications: Technological 15+ years of experience in Technology - Required Generative AI & LLM Engineering: Deep, hands on expertise in large language models including model selection, fine tuning, prompt engineering, retrieval augmented generation (RAG), vector database design, and evaluation methodologies. You understand how models behave in production, not just in demos. Agentic Systems Design: Proven experience designing and deploying multi agent architectures and orchestration frameworks (e.g., LangGraph, AutoGen, CrewAI); tool use patterns, human in the loop workflows, and agentic safety at enterprise scale. AI/ML Engineering & MLOps: Full AI/ML lifecycle ownership: training pipelines, model deployment, versioning, monitoring, drift detection, observability (e.g., Weights & Biases, Arize), and lifecycle management using platforms such as MLflow, Vertex AI, or SageMaker. Cloud AI Platforms: Demonstrated deployment of AI workloads on AWS, GCP, and/or Azure including managed ML services, scalable inference infrastructure, and vector stores. Programming & Frameworks: Strong Python proficiency; working knowledge of PyTorch or TensorFlow; applied experience with AI application frameworks (LangChain, LlamaIndex, or equivalents). Enterprise AI Architecture: Designing AI systems for regulated production environments: data security, model explainability, audit logging, access controls, and integration with legacy systems. Leadership & Delivery - Required 15+ years in technology, with a proven record of leading large scale engineering organizations through build out and transformation. 10+ years of management experience, including direct leadership of senior engineers and architects, and management of managers across global teams. Demonstrated delivery of enterprise AI solutions with realized measurable business outcomes - not just successful pilots or proofs of concept. Experience managing large, complex technology budgets ($50M+) with accountability for financial transparency and ROI. Track record of operating effectively in matrixed, cross functional organizations at the intersection of technology and operations. Domain & Contextual Knowledge - Strongly Preferred Deep familiarity with financial services operations and the regulatory landscape - particularly KYC/AML, fraud, reconciliations, and regulatory reporting. Strong understanding of model risk management (MRM) and what it takes to move AI from development to production under regulatory scrutiny. Experience engaging with strategic technology partners (cloud providers, AI platform companies) at an executive level. Leadership Profile You build platforms, not point solutions - you instinctively seek the reusable, the shared, the scalable. You are equally credible in a deep technical architecture review and a board level strategy discussion. You attract, develop, and retain strong technical talent - engineers want to work for you because they grow. You operate with clarity and urgency in ambiguous environments; complexity energizes rather than paralyzes you. You communicate with precision - you can make a complex AI architecture concept land with a CRO, a COO, and a principal engineer, and you do it differently for each. Education: Bachelors required; Master's in CS, AI/ML, or related field preferred. What success looks like: Establish the AI engineering team and operating model - hire and structure a high performing team with clear roles, responsibilities, and a strong culture. Deliver 3+ production grade agentic AI systems across priority COO domains, with measurable operational impact (cost, speed, quality, or risk reduction). Launch the shared AI platform - reusable RAG infrastructure, evaluation frameworks, and common tooling adopted across COO Technology. Define and align the multi year AI roadmap with COO function leads and the Head of COO Technology, with clear prioritization, milestones, and funding allocation. Establish AI governance - Architecture Review Boards, model risk processes, and compliance frameworks embedded in the delivery lifecycle.
