• Partner with Engineering, Credit Risk, and Operations to translate business problems into AI-enabled solutions; validate feasibility, define acceptance criteria, and orchestrate delivery through cross-functional squads.

• Establish and track product KPIs/OKRs (e.g., efficiency gains, cycle-time reductions, adoption/usage, data quality, risk outcomes) to demonstrate value and inform investment decisions.

• Champion AI adoption across the platform by developing enablement materials, process change plans, and training that help teams integrate AI into daily workflows safely and effectively.

• Ensure robust risk management and governance across the AI product lifecycle, coordinating with internal partners to meet regulatory and policy requirements, manage model/solution risks, and uphold responsible AI practices.

• Maintain strong stakeholder engagement: gather feedback from users and control partners, manage intake and prioritization, and communicate roadmaps, delivery status, and outcomes clearly and regularly.

• Develop business cases and value narratives to secure alignment and resources; own the backlog and ensure transparency into trade-offs, timelines, and dependencies.

• Familiarity with product lifecycle management, risk and control considerations, and governance in regulated environments; experience integrating compliance requirements into product design.

• Strong analytical and strategic thinking skills; adept at quantifying impact, setting outcome-oriented KPIs/OKRs, and using data to inform decisions.
