Generative AI Executive Director

JPMorgan Chase & Co.•New York, NY

About The Position

At the heart of JP Morgan’s AI transformation is the Chief Analytics Office (CAO) — the team responsible for driving the firmwide adoption of artificial intelligence and advanced analytics. The CAO leads the strategy, governance, and delivery of AI/ML products across the company, ensuring that innovation is balanced with responsibility, security, and ethical best practices. By overseeing the build, adoption, and maintenance of AI solutions, the CAO empowers every line of business to leverage AI/ML at scale and unlock new value for clients and stakeholders. As a Generative AI Executive Director within our CAO organization, you’ll be at the forefront of building and optimizing production-grade LLM systems (LLM Suite) that serve hundreds of thousands of professionals every day. You’ll architect and scale robust, reusable APIs and agentic workflows that process millions of documents and automate complex financial tasks. Collaboration is key: you’ll work closely with teams across ML Engineering, Product Management, and Cloud Engineering to deliver solutions that are measured, budgeted, and built for real business impact. Your technical decisions will directly shape how JP Morgan leverages AI at enterprise scale. You’ll ensure LLM Suite is designed for reliability, scalability, and performance — enabling other teams to build on top of our infrastructure and accelerate innovation firmwide. This is not a research sandbox; it’s production infrastructure with executive visibility and measurable ROI. If you’re ready to lead engineering teams, ship production AI, and make decisions that influence the future of financial technology, we invite you to join us and help define the next era of enterprise AI at JP Morgan.
