Job description

About the job

This is a mandate for a senior leader who can turn platforms, AI and client experience into one coherent growth agenda for Saxo.

At Saxo, we are redefining how clients interact with investing through platforms, experiences, and AI.

As our new Global Head of AI & Platforms, you will shape Saxo's client-facing platform strategy and define how AI becomes a natural, trusted part of the investing experience.

This role sits at the intersection of technology, client experience and commercial growth. You will set the direction for Saxo's platform and AI strategy, helping us evolve from being a destination clients visit to becoming a trusted presence wherever they choose to engage, including within the AI tools they already use.

Working closely with the Board of Management, business leaders, technology leadership and key partners, you will turn emerging technologies and market opportunities into clear strategic priorities, client value and business outcomes.

You will lead the AI & Platforms organisation and its leadership team, owning the strategic direction, commercial framing, and narrative for one of Saxo's most important growth and innovation agendas.

At Saxo, client journeys are organized with end-to-end responsibility for delivering client outcomes across business operations, technology and first line responsibilities. In this role, you will be responsible for leading Journey 2, which covers Platforms & AI. Journey 2 carries accountability not only for strategy and experience design, but also for how the platform agenda is translated into reliable delivery, operational performance, risk ownership and client impact.

Journey 2: Platforms & AI owns the client-facing platforms, the experiences that connect them, the channels that distribute them and the AI layer that increasingly shapes how clients engage with Saxo. Its scope includes Saxo's own digital surfaces as well as the places where clients already operate, including the AI tools they use today.

The role also requires the ability to balance Saxo's core leadership triangle: driving operational efficiency, creating commercial impact and ensuring strong regulatory compliance and risk ownership. Success is not about optimizing one dimension in isolation, but about ensuring all three.

This is a highly visible leadership role requiring strategic vision, commercial mindset, exceptional stakeholder management and the ability to shape both the agenda and the narrative at the highest levels of the organization.
