HR Data & Analytics is a centralized global team responsible for all aspects of workforce data strategy, analytics and reporting, and governance, and includes the development of AI and machine learning based solutions. We have a vision to help make individuals, teams, and businesses at JPMC among the most engaged and productive in the world. Our mission is to deliver data, analytics, and AI that are secure and commercial to empower businesses to make better workforce decisions and enable enhanced employee experiences.As a Head of AI & Data Science in the HR Data & Analytics team, you lead a group of data scientists who turn workforce data into insights and recommendations that business leaders use to make evidence-based people decisions. You set the technical agenda, direct the full research lifecycle across a portfolio of projects, and decide where to build, reuse, or partner - balancing fast, commercial delivery with stakeholder partnership and disciplined controls, across a global team.Our team is building an artificial-intelligence-native operating environment - a template for how a global firm delivers artificial intelligence - which we intend to prove within our own organization before extending it more broadly. That work includes model factories that build and improve models against product benchmarks, a high-bandwidth evaluation factory that investigates edge cases and calibrates results, and agentic engineering tools deployed responsibly within a regulated environment. The guiding principle is to use AI to accelerate AI: invest in the tooling and infrastructure that let the team build and deliver faster. This role sets the vision and technical direction for that agenda and leads the people who carry it out.Job responsibilitiesAct as the hands-on leader of a team that delivers commercial outcomes using AI and machine learning solutions across our people-focused product areasDirect the full research lifecycle, from framing problems and generating
