Leveraging current and emerging Generative AI technologies, particularly Large Language Models (LLMs), this leader guides the team's work across prompt and context engineering, data curation, model evaluation, responsible AI practices, and evidence-based recommendations that inform solution design. The role balances hands-on technical leadership with people management, ensuring the team delivers high-quality, well-documented, and ethically sound AI solutions that meet model risk and regulatory requirements while advancing the bank's broader data science strategy.\nESSENTIAL JOB FUNCTIONS\nLead, mentor, and develop a team of Data Scientists, setting clear goals, providing technical guidance, and fostering a culture of innovation, accountability, and continuous learning. Manage team workload, prioritization, and delivery across multiple concurrent AI initiatives.\nSupport the strategy for developing and implementing generative AI solutions by guiding the team's work in prompt and context engineering, retrieval-augmented generation, fine-tuning or other model adaptation approaches, experimentation, evaluation methodology, data and ground-truth requirements, and model behavior analysis, while ensuring adherence to model risk and regulatory requirements.\nEstablish and govern internal frameworks for evaluating LLM performance, including metrics for accuracy, fluency, coherence, factual correctness, toxicity, bias, and safety. Ensure consistent standards for data curation, ground truth dataset creation, and adversarial testing across the team.\nOversee documentation of model configurations, prompt and context strategies, data and ground-truth assumptions, evaluation methodologies, observed behaviors, limitations, and failure modes. Partner with model validation, compliance, technology, and risk teams to support the safe and ethical deployment of AI applications.\nChampion improvement techniques such as reinforcement learning from human feedback (RLHF), supervised fine-tuning or other post-training adaptation methods where appropriate, prompt and context optimization, and bias and safety mitigation to continuously improve output quality, relevance, and trustworthiness across the team's solutions.\nServe as a key liaison to business, technology, and risk partners, translating complex generative AI concepts, evaluation findings, and potential risks into clear insights for both technical and non-technical stakeholders. Represent the data science team in cross-functional planning and executive discussions.\nBuild organizational capability by developing team skills and business knowledge, particularly in Generative AI ethics, responsible AI principles, and LLM-specific risk management, while staying current on emerging technologies and industry best practices.\nREQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS\nMaster's or Ph.D. in a quantitative discipline and at least 7+ years of relevant experience, including 2+ years of direct people or team leadership.\nDemonstrated experience leading data science or AI teams, with a proven ability to develop talent, manage delivery, set technical standards, and guide cross-functional partners through complex modeling and evaluation decisions.\nDeep expertise with traditional Machine Learning (ML)/Artificial Intelligence (AI) modeling practices, with demonstrated experience in Generative AI techniques and a strong understanding of LLM architecture, lifecycle methods, evaluation approaches, capabilities, and limitations.\nHands-on experience with statistical coding in Python, including LLM libraries and frameworks (e.g., Hugging Face Transformers, LangChain, OpenAI API) and data manipulation libraries (Pandas, NumPy).\nKnowledge of and ability to leverage traditional databases, cloud-based computing, and distributed computing. Familiarity with vector databases, retrieval systems, knowledge graphs, orchestration patterns, MLOps principles, and monitoring approaches used to support generative AI models at scale.\nKnowledge of financial crime regulatory requirements, technology, and data analysis best practices. Strong understanding of AI ethics principles, responsible AI governance frameworks, and regulatory considerations for AI/LLM deployments.\nExcellent verbal, written, and visual communication skills; ability to translate complex generative AI concepts, evaluation findings, and potential risks to both technical teams and non-technical executive audiences.\nPREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS\nExperience in Consumer Banking modeling/analytics, especially in the context of leveraging AI for these domains.\nExperience building and scaling data science teams and establishing LLM evaluation frameworks, including defining and applying relevant metrics.\nFamiliarity with prompt injection vulnerabilities and mitigation strategies.\nExperience evaluating Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) architectures, knowledge graph integrations, context-engineering patterns, post-training or model-adaptation approaches, and LLM evaluation frameworks\nCore Competencies\nAll KeyBank employees are expected to demonstrate Key’s Values and abide by Key’s Code of Conduct. \nPhysical Demands\n General Office - Prolonged sitting, ability to communicate face to face in person or on the phone with teammates and clients, frequent use of PC/laptop, occasional lifting/pushing/pulling of backpacks, computer bags up to 10 lbs.\nTravel\nOccasional travel to include overnight stay.\n Work Location Category\nHybrid (3+ days)\nCOMPENSATION AND BENEFITS\nThis position is eligible to earn a base salary in the range of $116,000.00 - $216,000.00 annually.
