About The Position

Join the Global Risk Solutions (GRS) Global Data & Advanced Analytics organization as a Manager, Engineering, leading the Advanced Analytics and Applied AI Core team at the forefront of generative AI and predictive analytics. In close partnership with the GRS Data Science Solutions (DSS) department, your team is actively dismantling legacy business workflows and replacing them with intelligent, AI-native solutions. This is not a maintenance role — it's an opportunity to lead transformation and champion highly visible initiatives. You will lead high-performing engineering squads designing and implementing production-grade generative AI and agentic workflow solutions. As a thought leader and hands-on manager, you will help shape how the organization adopts emerging agentic engineering techniques, influence technical direction at the leadership level, and cultivate a team culture of continuous learning and bold innovation. You will partner deeply with DSS data scientists to ensure the delivery of data-centric solutions are accurate, on time, and within budget. This team also has a few more traditional applications that require periodic enhancements.
