AI Programme Manager

Location: London (Hybrid) | Practice Area: Capital Markets | Type: Permanent

Lead complex AI transformation programmes across global Capital Markets organisations

The Role

Join Capco’s Capital Markets practice as an AI Programme Manager, supporting leading investment banks, exchanges, market infrastructure providers, broker-dealers, asset managers, and securities services organisations in delivering large-scale AI transformation initiatives.

This role sits at the intersection of programme leadership, strategic delivery, governance, and AI-enabled business transformation, helping clients scale AI capabilities in a controlled, commercially valuable, and operationally sustainable way across front, middle, and back-office functions.

You will lead complex transformation programmes spanning trading, operations, technology, risk, compliance, regulatory reporting, and product teams, ensuring AI initiatives are effectively governed, strategically aligned, and successfully delivered within highly regulated Capital Markets environments. The role combines strong programme management capability with consulting, stakeholder leadership, commercial awareness, and an understanding of emerging AI technologies and enterprise delivery challenges.

Working closely with senior client stakeholders, delivery teams, and AI specialists, you will oversee delivery roadmaps, programme governance, risk management, reporting, and cross-functional coordination while helping clients navigate the broader organisational, operational, and regulatory considerations associated with AI adoption at scale.

This is also an AI-infused delivery role. You will be expected to be curious, hands-on, and pragmatic in exploring how approved AI tools can improve programme delivery. You will help ensure AI-enabled ways of working remain human-led, context-aware, and fit for purpose, with appropriate governance and controls embedded throughout delivery.

• Partner with senior stakeholders across Front Office, Operations, Technology, Risk, Compliance, Product, and Regulatory functions to shape delivery roadmaps, align priorities, and ensure successful implementation of AI-enabled capabilities with clear business value, ownership, and controls.
