As the AI Senior Manager for AI Engineering, you will help translate Capital Group’s AI-first operating model into practical transformation across investment systems. Reporting to the AI Engineering Director, you will lead teams focused on smart automation, AI-enabled design, agentic delivery patterns, and measurable operational improvement.

You are an engineering leader who enjoys turning strategy into working solutions. You combine analysis, AI engineering, automation, platform thinking, and disciplined delivery management.

Deliver smart automation and human‑plus‑agent patterns that improve cycle time, straight‑through processing, exception handling, resiliency, and user experience. Guide engineering teams on practical use of generative AI, agentic AI, orchestration, retrieval‑augmented generation, evaluations, observability, guardrails, and reusable delivery patterns. Embed responsible AI practices, human‑in‑the‑loop controls, auditability, traceability, secure access, data controls, and operational guardrails into delivery from the start. Develop managers, senior engineers, workflow analysts, automation specialists, and domain‑savvy technologists while strengthening a one‑team culture across Charlotte and global hubs. Communicate progress, risks, dependencies, and business value clearly to the AI Engineering Director, peer leaders, product partners, and senior stakeholders.

Experience partnering with data, platform, architecture, cybersecurity, risk, legal, compliance, business operations, and product teams to deliver secure and scalable solutions.
Demonstrated ability to translate ambiguous business needs into practical MVPs, execution plans, team priorities, measurable outcomes, and adoption plans.
Ability to communicate clearly with senior stakeholders while staying close to execution details, risks, dependencies, and delivery health.
Bachelor’s degree in computer science, Data Science, Artificial Intelligence, Engineering, Information Systems, Business Technology, or a related field; advanced degree or relevant cloud, AI, automation, data, quality, or security certifications preferred.
Demonstrated ownership of a portfolio of applications and solutions, including accountability for their roadmap, stability, lifecycle management, and continuous improvement.
