• Champion continuous improvement by identifying process optimization opportunities, incorporating best practices, and staying abreast of emerging technologies 
• Institutionalize the AI Product Development Lifecycle (AI PDLC), including use case intake, data and prompt versioning, evaluation gates, human-in-the-loop design, model risk integration, deployment, drift monitoring, and retirement 
• Expand and scale the agentic engineering operating model by establishing reference architectures, shared tooling, evaluation harnesses, guardrail patterns, and observability standards for production-grade agentic systems 
• Lead multi-quarter, cross-organizational programs that accelerate AI-native delivery across product, engineering, architecture, data, risk, controls, and operations teams without direct line authority 
• Drive adoption of the path from AI idea generation to production by applying value stream mapping, flow metrics, work-in-progress limits, queue analysis, and lean methods to remove handoffs, duplicated reviews, and other sources of coordination cost 
• Partner with model risk, technology risk, cybersecurity, compliance, and audit as design partners to embed governance and automated control evidence directly into AI engineering and delivery workflows 
• Advise senior technology leaders on where agentic systems create value or risk, translate AI investments into measurable outcomes, and use cycle time, throughput, change failure rate, evaluation quality, and risk posture to guide decisions 
• Uses enterprise-authorized AI capabilities within the work environment to accelerate program planning, dependency/risk synthesis, and executive-ready reporting, validating outputs and handling data according to sensitivity requirements.
• Promotes reuse-first, AI-assisted practices for program governance and continuous improvement routines, ensuring human review and alignment to delivery standards.

Required qualifications, capabilities, and skills

• 7+ years of experience or equivalent expertise in technical program management, leading complex technology projects and programs in large organizations 
• Demonstrated experience designing, building, deploying, or governing production-grade generative AI and agentic systems, including tool use, orchestration, evaluation, guardrails, observability, and human oversight 
• Advanced hands-on experience using Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, and GitHub-based engineering workflows for prompt and context design, code generation, testing, debugging, code review, documentation, and workflow automation 
• Strong AI and software engineering depth with the ability to read and critique code, assess architecture and implementation trade-offs, and challenge engineering teams on security, scalability, reliability, and production readiness 
• Deep understanding of how AI-native delivery differs from traditional software development, including non-deterministic testing, prompt and data versioning, evaluation gates, model and behavior drift, and continuous monitoring 
• Proven ability to lead complex, multi-quarter transformation programs across autonomous technology organizations and influence senior product, engineering, data, risk, and control stakeholders without direct authority 
• Experience applying lean product development and process-reengineering methods, including value stream mapping, flow, work-in-progress limits, queue and handoff analysis, and outcome-based delivery metrics 
• Demonstrated success partnering with model risk, technology risk, cybersecurity, compliance, and audit functions in a regulated environment to embed controls into AI products and engineering workflows 
• Demonstrated experience using enterprise-authorized AI capabilities within the work environment to support technical program management workflows with strong validation habits and awareness of data sensitivity.
• Ability to review and validate AI-assisted plans, risks, and recommendations before use, escalating when uncertain and following data handling expectations.

Preferred qualifications, capabilities, and skills

• Experience defining or implementing an enterprise AI PDLC, AI engineering standards, reference architectures, evaluation frameworks, or reusable patterns adopted across multiple products, platforms, or engineering teams 
• Experience designing or operating agentic workflows with orchestration frameworks, Model Context Protocol (MCP), tool and API integrations, retrieval and context engineering, structured evaluation, and secure access to enterprise systems 
• Recent applied AI, machine learning platform, or agentic engineering experience with responsibility for production outcomes, reliability, monitoring, or value realization 
• Demonstrated portfolio of AI-native prototypes, reference implementations, engineering accelerators, playbooks, internal standards, or communities of practice that progressed into sustained use 
• Background spanning technology strategy, program leadership, operating-model transformation, engineering productivity, and large-scale modernization in a regulated enterprise 
• Recognized thought leadership in AI engineering, agentic systems, software delivery transformation, enterprise operating models, or emerging technology adoption
