Role Summary
We're looking for a Senior Manager to lead a blended AI engineering team building the agentic AI platform and the marketing solutions that run on top of it. This is a delivery-leadership role: you own the roadmap, execution, and quality bar for a team of platform engineers, applied-AI solutions builders, and data engineering — turning cutting-edge agentic AI into reliable, production systems that marketing and analytics teams depend on every day.
You will operate at the intersection of platform and product: hardening the agentic infrastructure (LLM orchestration, retrieval, tool/MCP integration, deploys, reliability) while making sure the AI solutions built on it deliver real marketing outcomes. You'll grow the people on your team, set a high engineering bar, and partner across a global AI organization.
What You'll Do
Platform & infrastructure
• Own delivery and reliability of the agentic AI platform: LLM orchestration, retrieval/RAG pipelines, tool and MCP integration, model routing, and evaluation.

• Drive engineering quality — test discipline, deployment safety,



observability, cost and latency management — across everything the team ships.

• Set technical direction with your senior engineers; make the hard architecture calls and unblock the team (design-level involvement; not expected to write production code day-to-day).

Applied AI solutions
• Lead the team that builds AI agents and workflows for marketing use cases (analytics, paid media, content-to-intent, executive reporting) on top of the platform.

• Ensure solutions are grounded in real business outcomes and adopted by stakeholders — not demos that stall.

• Balance platform investment against solution delivery so both advance.

People leadership & delivery
• Manage, coach, and grow a blended team; run hiring to build out the function.

• Own the roadmap and quarterly planning; convert ambiguous priorities into committed, sequenced delivery.

• Represent the team's work to leadership and cr
