Job Description:TD is building a brand-new capability at the intersection of Risk Management and artificial intelligence. This is a rare opportunity to design, launch, and build a team from a blank page: to define how agentic AI moves from side-of-desk experimentation to a disciplined, scaled capability that changes how Risk operates.
The
VP, Risk AI & Innovation is accountable for defining, enabling, and operationalizing the
Risk AI and innovation strategy across Risk Management, in alignment with enterprise technology, data, and regulatory expectations. This role serves as a central senior leader driving
AI-enabled transformation, automation, and process re-engineering across Risk Shared Services and Risk pillars.
Risk AI Strategy & Innovation- Develop and execute the Risk AI strategy aligned to enterprise priorities, regulatory expectations, and the Risk Management strategy.
- Identify, prioritize, and mature AI and automation use cases that materially improve efficiency, consistency, control effectiveness, and decision support across Risk.
- Establish AI-enabled innovation services as a formal shared service offering to Risk pillars.
AI Tool Development & Partnerships- Partner closely with AI2, Enterprise Technology, and Data teams on the design, development, and deployment of AI solutions for Risk.
- Act as the senior Risk product and business lead for AI tools, ensuring solutions are fit-for-purpose, scalable, explainable, and regulator-ready.
- Translate Risk process and control requirements into clear AI and automation solution designs.
Automation & Process Re-Engineering- Lead process re-engineering and streamlining initiatives, applying AI, automation, and workflow optimization to reduce manual effort and complexity.
- Drive the application of AI to automate repeatable, low-value, and data-intensive Risk activities while strengthening governance and control outcomes.
- Standardize approaches and tooling for automation across Risk Shared Services.
Reporting & Insights- Own AI and automation reporting for Risk, including value realization, efficiency gains, risk reduction, and adoption metrics.
- Provide transparent, executive-level reporting on AI initiatives, automation pipeline, and delivery outcomes.
Financial & Resource Management- Oversee the AI and innovation budget within Risk Shared Services, ensuring strong financial discipline, prioritization, and value delivery.
- Support investment decisions through clear business cases and benefit realization tracking.
Impact - Enterprise Risk scope, supporting multiple Risk pillars, risk types, and senior Risk leaders.

- Directly contributes to measurable improvements in efficiency, scalability, consistency, and colleague experience across Risk.
What Makes You a Strong Fit:- Proven experience delivering agentic AI and automation solutions in production.
- A product-ownership mindset: able to structure problems into MVPs, connect solutions to existing processes and technology, and see delivery through to real adoption.
- Deep respect for change management as a discipline - understanding that piloting, measuring, communicating, and building contingency plans is as important as the technical build.
- Genuine curiosity about business problems.
- A collaborative leadership style that shares credit with business partners and builds trust.
- An appetite for building a team and function from the ground up.
Skills, Education & Experience:- Strong understanding of Risk Management frameworks, operational processes, and regulatory expectations.
- Demonstrated experience partnering with technology, data science, and enterprise platforms to deliver AI solutions at scale.
- Proven ability to lead complex change, influence across business and technology, and deliver measurable outcomes.
