TL;DR · AI Solutions Director

The AI Solutions Director joins the AI Adoption & Solutions Team to lead the business-facing strategy for enterprise AI. This product-leadership role involves owning the relationship with strategic lines of business, including sales, distribution, and investments. You will lead AI incubation, surface high-value opportunities, and manage the transition from discovery to functional proof of concepts. Key responsibilities include shaping solution roadmaps, defining success metrics, and managing the handoff to product teams or Forward-Deployed Engineers. You must possess technical fluency in AI and agentic systems to direct offshore engineering teams while maintaining executive presence for senior stakeholders. The role requires expertise in requirements gathering, business transformation, and people leadership to help the asset management firm embed responsible AI into workflows and capture measurable business value.

What you'll do

  • Build and maintain trusted relationships with strategic lines of business and executive stakeholders.
  • Lead discovery sessions and hackathons to identify, qualify, and incubate high-value AI opportunities.
  • Translate business needs into a prioritized AI solution roadmap aligned with firm-level goals.
  • Direct the build team to move solutions rapidly from initial concept to functional proof of concept.
  • Reimagine end-to-end workflows to drive business transformation rather than just automating isolated tasks.
  • Manage the graduation of projects by ensuring clean transitions to product teams or deliberate sunsetting.
  • Define success metrics and track the business value and adoption of shipped AI solutions.
  • Line-manage US-based Solutions Leads and coach them on business-facing solutioning.

What we're looking for

  • Proven product or solution leadership delivering AI or data products with measurable business impact.
  • Track record in AI incubation and rapid POC build from concept to validated proof of value.
  • Strong business acumen and executive presence to be credible with senior stakeholders in strategic settings.
  • Expertise in discovery and requirements to translate ambiguous business problems into buildable solution definitions.
  • Experience shaping AI strategy and roadmaps and leading business transformation at enterprise scale.
  • Sufficient technical fluency in AI and agentic systems to direct and translate for an engineering team.
  • Experience managing distributed or offshore delivery teams and cross-team handoffs.
  • People-leadership and coaching experience.
