Job Description

We’re seeking a future team member for the role of Senior Vice President, AI Strategy Lead. This role is located in London. 

In this role, you’ll make an impact in the following ways:

  • Lead complex AI strategy workstreams and translate enterprise priorities into strategic themes, investment choices, operating-model recommendations, roadmaps, and executable plans.
  • Shape AI Hub’s strategic agenda across AI-native platforms, digital employees, workflow automation, knowledge management, process reimagination, governed AI capabilities, and continuous intelligence.
  • Identify, assess, and prioritize AI opportunities based on business value, client impact, operational efficiency, strategic alignment, technical feasibility, control readiness, adoption potential, and implementation complexity.
  • Develop business cases, value hypotheses, cost-benefit analyses, KPI frameworks, adoption measures, and benefit-realization plans for priority initiatives.
  • Define how AI capabilities can help platforms become more intelligent, context-aware, governed, reusable, and scalable across enterprise workflows.
  • Advance continuous-intelligence priorities by connecting trusted data, governed AI, human judgment, operational context, and enterprise controls to practical business outcomes.
  • Develop recommendations for AI operating models, prioritization mechanisms, portfolio governance, investment sequencing, adoption strategies, and cross-functional accountability.
  • Produce executive-ready strategy narratives, decision papers, presentations, portfolio updates, and recommendations that simplify complex AI topics without overstating maturity or expected benefits.
  • Partner with Product, Engineering, Data, Operations, Finance, Risk, Governance, Legal, Compliance, Audit, and business teams to align strategy with execution feasibility and enterprise standards.
  • Ensure strategic recommendations address data readiness, responsible AI, model and technology risk, cybersecurity, privacy, resiliency, human oversight, regulatory considerations, and change management.
  • Track emerging developments across GenAI, agentic workflows, enterprise AI platforms, automation, data products, model providers, and market practices to inform strategic choices.
  • Establish portfolio transparency by defining consistent measures for initiative status, strategic alignment, adoption, value, dependencies, control readiness, and delivery progress.
  • Lead senior-stakeholder discussions, frame decision options, clarify tradeoffs, and drive alignment on priorities and recommended actions.
  • Build durable internal AI strategy capability by creating reusable strategic frameworks, analysis methods, decision templates, and value-measurement approaches.
  • Operate independently as a senior individual contributor, bringing structured judgment and executive-quality output to high-priority and often ambiguous enterprise initiatives

To be successful in this role, we’re seeking the following:

  • Experience in corporate strategy, strategy consulting, product strategy, AI/data strategy, enterprise transformation, or digital transformation.
  • Experience leading AI, GenAI, automation, data, analytics, or technology-enabled transformation initiatives.
  • Strong commercial judgment and experience developing business cases, roadmaps, KPIs, and executive recommendations.
  • Demonstrated ability to influence senior stakeholders in a global, matrixed organization.
  • Financial-services and responsible-AI experience are preferred.
  • Bachelor’s degree required; MBA or relevant Master’s degree preferred.
