The SVP, AI Execution Manager will be a key strategic and executional leader for this agenda — a role that is simultaneously commercial, technical, risk-aware, and advocacy-driven.
Strategic Mandate:
The AI Agenda for Issuer:
This role spans the full AI value chain for Issuer Services — balancing innovation with commercial discipline, and opportunity with responsible governance.
- Client-Facing AI Capabilities Build AI-powered solutions and services that deliver measurable value to Issuer Services clients across a broad range of global market products.
- Internal AI & Productivity Champion AI adoption for internal teams — identifying, prioritizing, and deploying tools that improve operational efficiency, accelerate cycle times, and augment team capabilities across Issuer.
- Commercial Mindset & P&L Apply rigorous commercial discipline to AI investment decisions — evaluating use cases by ROI, revenue potential, cost impact, and strategic fit to ensure every AI initiative drives measurable business value.
- Responsible AI & Risk Controls Ensure AI capabilities are built with robust controls aligned to enterprise risk frameworks — addressing model risk, data governance, explainability, fairness, and regulatory compliance from day one.
What you’ll do:
- Drive & Execute the AI Strategy: Manage significant components of the Global AI Product roadmap for Issuer Services — contributing to the strategic vision, prioritizing use cases, and driving execution from concept through commercialization. Balance innovation ambition with business pragmatism and P&L accountability.

Partner with clients directly to validate and co-create solutions.
- Champion Internal AI & Productivity: Lead the identification and deployment of AI tools that enhance internal operations and team productivity across Issuer — including process automation, intelligent decisioning, and Gen AI productivity capabilities. Lead the primary internal advocacy for responsible AI adoption and culture change.
- Apply Commercial Discipline to AI Investment: Evaluate AI opportunities through a commercial lens — developing business cases, assessing P&L implications, estimating revenue impact, and driving clear prioritization trade-offs. Ensure AI spend translates into measurable financial outcomes.
- Embed Responsible AI & Enterprise Controls: Ensure all AI capabilities are built in line with Citi's enterprise risk standards — establishing model risk governance, data lineage, explainability standards, fairness testing, and regulatory compliance controls. Proactively address ethical AI considerations across all product decisions.
- Build & Manage a Wide Stakeholder Ecosystem: Cultivate deep partnerships across Sales, Product, Technology, Operations, Finance, Compliance, Risk, and Legal. Navigate a matrixed organization, build consensus across competing priorities, and drive alignment on AI strategy at every level of the organization.

Manage AI product development in close collaboration with technology teams using modern delivery practices.
