Cpl Recruitment is partnering with a leading international banking group to hire an AI Lab Manager, a Vice President-level role based in Dublin. You will run the bank's AI Lab alongside an external vendor: a governed, secure space where business and technology teams can test ideas, trial new tools and move the best of them into delivery. This is a chance to own a visible, high-profile capability from the ground up, shaping how it operates, who uses it and the value it proves.
Responsibilities
- Run the AI Lab day to day with the vendor, owning its roadmap, budget, service health and reporting
- Set the guardrails that let teams experiment quickly while meeting security, data, AI governance and third-party risk standards
- Build and manage a clear pipeline of use cases, from intake through experiment, evaluation and a go, pivot or stop decision
- Package successful experiments so delivery teams can take them into production
- Promote the Lab across the business through workshops, demos and success stories, and build a steady flow of demand
- Manage relationships with technology vendors, fintechs and partners, keeping their work aligned to internal architecture, risk and legal requirements
- Track adoption, outcomes and cost, and use the evidence to keep improving the Lab
- Champion responsible AI practices, including transparency, access control and human oversight
