What you'll do

  • Own the agentic standard for ML: run agentic model iteration and agentic model monitoring and observability, bound to the feature store
  • Own the reliability, cost and latency of agent loops and graphs in production, and hire against the bar
  • Build the ML & MLOps team, from the first hire onward
  • Own model-development standards and the validation methodology that stands up to model-risk and regulatory scrutiny
  • Own the ML platform behind decisioning services
  • Set a clear ownership line between feature production (data engineering) and model consumption, together with the Head of Data Engineering and the Director
  • Build credit and decisioning models with rigorous validation, champion/challenger testing and explainability
  • Engineer serving, monitoring, reproducibility and retraining for the production ML platform
  • Build in responsible AI: model risk, bias and explainability checks, with an independent sign-off gate before anything reaches production
  • Build agent-first systems as production components with orchestration, guardrails, evals and observability
  • Build on a point-in-time-correct feature store
  • Run the function as a business function: compute budget, headcount and return on investment

What we're looking for

  • A leader who loves data and loves building systems around it
  • Hands-on when needed, especially with AI on board; understands the model, the pipeline and the serving layer
  • Experienced across the full ML lifecycle: development, validation, deployment, monitoring and retraining
  • Experienced in architecting agentic systems for ML: orchestration, guardrails, evals in CI, human-in-the-loop checkpoints, agent observability
  • Experienced in building and leading ML teams in regulated settings
  • Experienced in credit-scoring or underwriting modelling, or comparable high-stakes ML
  • Skilled in model-risk management and responsible-AI governance
  • Experienced in building and leading a team from zero
  • Fluent in English (B2+)

Nice to have

  • CCD2 and consumer-credit regulation
  • DORA/ICT risk
  • IFRS 9 implications for model outputs
  • Fraud-detection ML
  • Databricks/Spark
