As a Manager, Data Science (M1) in the Global Finance Data Science Team, you will serve as the technical and business-domain subject matter expert accountable for the end-to-end execution of data science products and AI-enabled applications across Global Finance and Compliance. The role will primarily lead vendor application-development teams, ensuring solutions are delivered efficiently, on time, and to a high standard of quality.
This role combines data science and Finance process expertise with application delivery leadership. You will translate business problems into clear requirements and executable solution designs, then guide vendor teams in developing production-ready models, applications, APIs, workflows, and integrations that connect with transactional systems, including SAP S/4. You will ensure the latest fit-for-purpose technologies are applied responsibly to improve speed, automation, controls, user experience, and decision quality.
You will work directly with Finance, Compliance, and Technology stakeholders to understand processes, pain points, controls, and user needs, and convert them into applications and solutions that solve the business problem. You will own execution from requirements and design through development, testing, deployment, adoption, and ongoing production support, coordinating vendor teams and enterprise partners throughout delivery.
Major Duties & Responsibilities
Lead and manage large vendor application-development teams, establishing clear requirements, work plans, milestones, quality expectations, and accountability for business outcomes.

Lead the design and delivery of label-harvesting and human-in-the-loop forecasting applications, such as Gross-to-Net solutions, where data science models generate predictions and business users can review, approve, override, or refine forecasts with structured reason codes and commentary. Ensure user decisions are captured as governed feedback for auditability, model monitoring, retraining, and continuous improvement of future predictions.
•
Guide the application of machine learning, statistical methods, time series forecasting, NLP, Generative AI, and agent-enabled workflows, ensuring outputs are accurate, explainable, traceable, and suited to the business decision.
•
Establish engineering and MLOps standards for reusable code, model and prompt lifecycle management, automated testing, CI/CD, monitoring, observability, documentation, release governance, incident response, and ongoing model performance management.
