Full Job Description
As a Senior AI Engineering Team Manager supporting Portfolio Management Technology, you will lead a critical transformation of how software is built, delivered, and scaled across the Portfolio Accounting Data Loads (PADL) organization. This role sits at the intersection of cloud modernization, enterprise data platforms, and emerging GenAI capabilities, with a clear mandate to redefine engineering practices and accelerate outcomes.

 

You will drive a shift from traditional development approaches to a modern, AI-enabled software development lifecycle, where automation, intelligent workflows, and agentic AI are embedded across design, development, testing, and operations. Success in this role is measured by your ability to increase delivery capacity, improve quality, and simplify complex legacy systems—without proportional increases in headcount.

 

This leader sets the vision and direction for high-volume, transaction-driven data platforms, ensuring accuracy, availability, and usability across downstream systems. You will partner closely with architecture, product, infrastructure, security, and operations teams to align on scalable solutions and establish clear, opinionated engineering standards that accelerate delivery and reduce fragmentation.

 

Equally important, you will build and lead high-performing global engineering teams, evolving team structures, expectations, and capabilities to align with AI-driven development. You will foster a culture grounded in accountability, continuous learning, and adaptability, where engineers are empowered to experiment, solve complex problems, and deliver measurable business impact. Through clear communication and strong technical credibility, you will influence senior stakeholders and drive alignment on transformation priorities across the organization.
