Purpose: The Head of AI Capability and Adoption - Investments will define and steward the use of AI across the investment lifecycle.

How the role works: The role leads through an investment ecosystem of portfolio management, research, trading, operations, technology, data, and architecture partners. It frames priorities, trade-offs, risks, value opportunities, and executive decisions while ensuring AI initiatives are grounded in real investment workflows and scalable delivery practices. The role will help embed a product-oriented operating model for AI in Investments, ensuring that AI opportunities are managed across the lifecycle from problem definition and prioritization through delivery, adoption, measurement, and continuous improvement. This is a senior matrix leadership role. The role may have a small direct team over time, but will primarily deliver impact by mobilizing cross-functional capacity across Investments, Technology, Data, Architecture, Risk, Governance, and Operations.
Organizational context: This role sits within the Investments organization and reports to the Head of Strategy & Operations, Investments. Working closely with the Chief Investment Officer, CIOs, asset class leaders, portfolio managers, research leaders, and trading leaders, the role serves as a key bridge between investment priorities and the capabilities required to enable AI-driven transformation across the investment platform. Over time, the role is expected to operate across the broader Ways of Working model, partnering across capability groups and acting at a portfolio level to align business priorities, product ownership, delivery capacity, governance, and adoption.
You will play a leading role in defining how AI is embedded across the investment platform, helping shape the future operating model for AI-enabled investing.
