About the Role

As a Data Science Manager in the Data & AI Solutions team, you will lead a team building the models and pipelines that sit at the heart of the company's AI platform. You will set technical direction, develop your team, and collaborate with product, commercial, and engineering colleagues to ensure the intelligence your team builds has a real effect on the business.

Responsibilities

• Lead your team in building predictive systems that run continuously.
• Design and oversee automated workflows that take model outputs through to decisions and actions.
• Shape how your team approaches AI-powered systems, including where LLMs, retrieval-augmented generation, and multi-step AI patterns add value.
• Ensure every model your team ships connects to a real outcome and has a mechanism to improve over time.
• Set the standard for modelling quality, reproducibility and production-readiness across your team.
• Take ownership of model performance in production.
• Be hands-on in design sessions, code reviews, and architectural decisions.
• Guide your team through a fast-moving tooling landscape.
• Champion responsible, auditable AI, particularly in a regulated financial services environment.
• Encourage and model the use of AI-assisted development tools within your team.
• Work closely with commercial, product, and engineering leads to translate strategic priorities into well-scoped data science work.
• Present model outputs in terms of decisions and outcomes.
• Contribute a credible data science perspective to planning and prioritisation conversations.
• Develop your data scientists through regular feedback, technical mentorship, and honest career conversations.
• Contribute to hiring, helping bring in people who combine technical rigour with curiosity and commercial awareness.
• Contribute to standards and practices across the wider Data & AI Solutions chapter.

Requirements

• Experience leading data science teams and delivering ML solutions that run in production.
• Strong Python and modelling fundamentals, sufficient to assess your team's work and contribute directly when needed.
• A track record of taking models beyond the development environment and connecting them to decisions, workflows, or products with a measurable effect.
• Direct experience of model production responsibilities: monitoring, degradation, retraining, and lifecycle management.
• Clear communication; able to make technical work legible to commercial and product audiences.
• Experience with MLflow, model registries, Databricks, or similar ML lifecycle and platform tooling.
• Hands-on experience with LLM-based systems: prompt engineering, RAG, tool use, or orchestration frameworks such as LangGraph or LangChain.
• Familiarity with multi-step AI patterns, building systems where models plan, retrieve information, and take sequences of actions.
• Understanding of experimentation at scale and the infrastructure needed to run it well.
