About the role

TMB is looking for a Director of Data Science & AI to lead the team and efforts to turn data into decisions, deliver scalable intelligence that drives personalized experiences and business outcomes, and lean into AI and Automation where it makes sense. You understand how business users think, what friction looks like in real workflows, and how to communicate technical solutions in ways that land with non-technical users.

Your primary mission is to bridge the gap between what’s technically possible and what’s practically useful. This is a hands-on leadership role: you’ll set the technical direction, but you’ll also be in the data, in the model reviews, and building alongside your team when it counts. We need someone fluent in Google Cloud Platform (BigQuery, Vertex AI, and broader GCP ecosystem), has strong data science capabilities and the grit to take ideas from research to production.

You are a fast learner who is comfortable in ambiguity, energized by solutioning, and motivated by seeing your work drive real adoption across the organization. You'll spend your time championing smarter ways of working and helpin
