Job Summary

As a Data Scientist, Vice President in Payments Data and Analytics, you will lead the design and delivery of AI, machine learning, and agent-based solutions that modernize treasury and payments capabilities. You will translate treasury and payments needs into data-driven products by partnering with product, engineering, operations, risk, and controls stakeholders.

You will set clear success metrics and ensure solutions meet expectations for quality, explainability, and control alignment. You will influence roadmap decisions through strong technical judgment and stakeholder leadership.

You will help build reusable patterns for agent orchestration, evaluation, monitoring, and human review that can scale across treasury use cases. You will be expected to make independent decisions, proactively identify risks and gaps in data or model behavior, and drive resolution with partners. Success in this role requires strong technical depth, a product mindset, and the ability to communicate clearly with both technical and non-technical audiences.

  • Review and validate AI-assisted outputs for accuracy, completeness, relevance, source consistency, and alignment with controls
  • Identify and escalate concerns related to AI risk, data quality, privacy, controls, model risk, or automation when outputs are unsupported or inconsistent with source information
  • Mentor junior data scientists and analysts on experimentation, evaluation, responsible AI, and stakeholder communication
