Introduction

Our client is seeking a senior digital product leader to take ownership of enterprise-level Generative AI (GenAI) platform capabilities within a large, multi-market financial services organization. This role sits within a group digital and data function and operates in close collaboration with regional product leadership teams across Asia.

The successful candidate will play a critical role in shaping scalable, reusable, and compliant GenAI platform capabilities that enable multiple business units and markets to deliver AI-powered use cases efficiently and responsibly.

 About the Role

The Director, Group Digital Platforms (GenAI) is responsible for platform-level product ownership and lifecycle management of enterprise Generative AI capabilities.

The focus is on defining, prioritizing, and enabling foundational AI platform components that support diverse downstream product teams across markets.

This position requires close partnership with group-level digital product leaders and alignment with overarching GenAI strategy and governance frameworks.

Responsibilities

Key responsibilities include:

• Partner closely with regional and group digital product managers on strategic GenAI initiatives and cross-platform dependencies.
• Own defined domains within the enterprise GenAI platform and contribute to an integrated platform roadmap.
• Translate enterprise GenAI strategy into clear platform-level product backlogs and priorities.
• Ensure platform capabilities are reusable, scalable, and enable consistent delivery of AI use cases across markets.
• Collaborate with digital delivery and engineering teams to ensure requirements are well-defined, technically feasible, and aligned with architectural standards.
• Embed governance-by-design principles, including data privacy, security, responsible AI, and model risk considerations, into platform features.
• Drive platform adoption and reuse across products and markets while reducing duplication and fragmentation of AI solutions.
• Influence platform investment decisions and evolution through structured product insights and prioritization.

• Strong understanding of Generative AI platform concepts, including large language model enablement, orchestration layers, shared services, and APIs.
• Familiarity with AI governance, responsible AI frameworks, data privacy, and model risk management.
• Solid knowledge of digital platform architectures and enterprise integration patterns.
• Strong product management capabilities, including roadmap planning, backlog prioritization, and dependency management.
• Ability to clearly articulate platform value propositions to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Experience working in agile and scaled product delivery environments.

Why Apply

This is a high-impact leadership opportunity within a strategically important digital transformation agenda. The role offers:

• Direct influence on enterprise-wide AI platform strategy and execution.
• Exposure to multi-market operations across Asia.
• The opportunity to shape scalable, responsible AI capabilities in a regulated industry.
• A collaborative, matrixed environment working alongside senior digital, data, and engineering leaders.
