- Champions secure-by-design and compliance-by-design, embedding automated controls, security scanning, and policy-as-code into pipelines to support SOX, statutory and tax reporting, data residency/retention, segregation of duties, and access management
- Directs responsible adoption of AI-enabled engineering—agentic workflows, AI-assisted ("vibe coding") development, and MCP-based services for conversational interfaces—paired with strong guardrails for a highly regulated industry
- Acts as the primary interface with senior leaders and executives, driving consensus across competing risk, regulatory, operational, cost, and modernization priorities, and presenting clearly to senior management
- Leads, hires, and develops large cross-functional engineering teams; champions the firm's culture of diversity, opportunity, inclusion, and respect
- Sets and scales multi-department strategy for agentic AI-enabled engineering and SDLC/TLM automation (using enterprise-authorized tools within the work environment) to drive firmwide objectives (speed, scalability, reliability, and cost-to-serve), including portfolio-level standards for AI-orchestrated delivery workflows, release governance, automated test modernization, resilience engineering, and incident response acceleration; establishes guardrails for validation, security, resiliency, traceability, and reuse.
- Applies knowledge of tools within the Software Development Life Cycle toolchain, including enterprise-authorized AI-assisted development and automation capabilities, to drive cross-domain reuse and measurable capacity unlock outcomes across departments.

- Demonstrated experience building highly secure code using guardrails appropriate for a highly regulated industry
- Proven delivery of end-to-end integration and automation between vendor systems and payroll, plus experience migrating legacy platforms (e.g., PeopleSoft) to modern cloud with strong data integrity and controls
- Experience managing large vendor ecosystems—onboarding, application ownership, risk management, and performance tracking
- Experience leading large, cross-functional technology teams and influencing across highly matrixed, complex organizations to deliver value at scale
- Experience leading multi-organization adoption of agentic AI-enabled engineering operating models (using enterprise-authorized tools within the work environment), including defining governance (human-in-the-loop decisioning, quality gates), measurement frameworks, and secure handling of sensitive inputs/outputs across teams.
