Lead AI transformation programmes that are reshaping the future of Wealth & Asset Management
Join Capcos Wealth & Asset Management practice as an AI Programme Manager, helping some of the industry's leading wealth managers, private banks, asset managers, investment platforms, and retirement providers accelerate their AI transformation journeys.
As AI continues to reshape how firms engage clients, support advisers, manage investments, and optimise operations, organisations are seeking experienced leaders who can translate ambition into sustainable delivery. This role combines programme leadership, strategic consulting, governance, stakeholder management, and AI-enabled transformation to help clients realise measurable value from emerging technologies.
You will lead complex programmes spanning business, operations, technology, data, risk, compliance, and product teams, ensuring AI initiatives are effectively governed, aligned to strategic objectives, and delivered successfully within highly regulated environments. Working closely with senior client stakeholders and multidisciplinary delivery teams, you will oversee programme roadmaps, governance frameworks, delivery execution, risk management, and organisational adoption.
This is also an AI-infused delivery role. You will be encouraged to explore how approved AI tools can enhance programme delivery, improve decision-making, and increase efficiency, while ensuring human judgement, accountability, and appropriate governance remain at the centre of delivery.
