- Lead the design, implementation, and ongoing oversight of agentic AI solutions that automate manual or repetitive infrastructure management tasks while adhering to firmwide risk, security, and control requirements.
- Partner with operations, SRE, architecture, risk, and control functions to ensure AI capabilities are implemented safely, transparently, and in alignment with JPMorganChase policies and regulatory expectations.
- Establish and manage the roadmap for AI adoption across Mainframe and Midrange platforms, including vendor partnerships, tooling strategy, and internal capability development.
- Provide seniorlevel stakeholder management, communicating strategy, progress, and risk clearly to executive leaders across Infrastructure Platforms and Technology.
- Ensure platforms meet resiliency, scalability, performance, and security objectives, with AI solutions enhancing service reliability and operational effectiveness rather than introducing unmanaged risk.
- Develop and execute organizational objectives with clear accountability for outcomes, including staffing plans, budget oversight, and delivery commitments.
- Mentor and develop senior engineers and emerging leaders, building sustainable technical leadership depth within the organization.
- Champion JPMorganChase values, including a culture of inclusion, accountability, disciplined execution, and continuous improvement.
