• Partner with AI engineers, architects, product owners, and business SMEs to support the development, testing, validation, and deployment of AI-enabled capabilities across Capital Markets functions while ensuring outputs remain aligned to business requirements and regulatory obligations.

• Support responsible AI adoption by contributing to governance, operational risk management, regulatory compliance, change management, training, and business readiness activities, including human-in-the-loop controls, auditability, escalation pathways, and monitoring frameworks.
