Job Level

Lead

About the role

  • Lead the design, development, and operation of high-rigor analytical and machine-learning systems across a complex, regulated financial-services estate.
  • Define the AI/ML roadmap for Enterprise Solutions while building high-rigor analytical and predictive models for anomaly detection, variance analysis, drift detection, market and behavioral signals, forecasting, and prediction.
  • Ensure AI/ML strategy is sound and that analytical models are correct, explainable, reliable in production, and able to withstand operational and regulatory scrutiny.
  • Work closely with engineering, data platform, and product teams to take models from problem definition through to production operation, including feature engineering, back-testing, deployment, monitoring, and ongoing performance management.
  • Get involved early in complex or high-risk analytical problems and step in when models degrade or fail in production.
  • Know when to apply advanced modelling, when simpler approaches are sufficient, and when modelling is not appropriate.

Requirements

  • 17+ years working with analytics, data science, or ML systems in production, with significant experience in financial services or other regulated, high-availability domains.
  • Comfortable working directly with data, models, and code, and collaborating closely with software engineers and platform teams.
  • Pragmatic and outcome-driven; measures success by models that run reliably in production, adapt to changing conditions, and withstand scrutiny.
  • Clear communicator who can explain modelling choices, assumptions, and limitations to engineers, product partners, and senior stakeholders.
  • Acts as a technical mentor to other data scientists through review, pairing, and example, limited people management where appropriate.

  • Health & Wellness: Health care coverage designed for the mind and body.
  • Flexible Downtime: Generous time off helps keep you energized for your time on.
  • Continuous Learning: Access a wealth of resources to grow your career and learn valuable new skills.
  • Invest in Your Future: Secure your financial future through competitive pay, retirement planning, a continuing education program with a company-matched student loan contribution, and financial wellness programs.
  • Family Friendly Perks: It’s not just about you. S&P Global has perks for your partners and little ones, too, with some best-in class benefits for families.
