Applied AIML Data Scientist Lead - Vice President

The Legal Applied AI/ML team in Corporate Technology at JPMorgan Chase focuses on solving challenging business problems such as semantic search, question answering, document analysis, automation of service inquiries through data science and ML techniques, particularly using GenAI and LLM tools and techniques. You will work with the firm’s rich data pool from both internal and external sources using GenAI tools and frameworks, Python/Spark via AWS and other systems.

You are also expected to derive business insights from technical results and be able to present them to non-technical audience.

As an Applied AI ML Data Scientist Lead‑Vice President on Corporate team, you will have the opportunity to study complex business problems and apply advanced algorithms to develop, test, and evaluate AI/ML applications or models for those problems.

• Work closely with product managers, data scientists, ML engineers, and other stakeholders to understand requirements and prioritize use cases.
• Develop GenAI and LLM solutions to solve business problems.
• Implement optimization strategies to fine‑tune generative models for specific GenAI use cases, ensuring high‑quality outputs.
• Execute tasks throughout a model development process including data wrangling/analysis, model training, testing, and selection.
• Generate structured and meaningful insights from data analysis and modelling exercise and present them in appropriate format according to the audience.
• Communicate AI/GenAI capabilities and results to both technical and non‑technical audiences.
• Stay informed about the latest trends and advancements in AI research, implement cutting‑edge techniques, and leverage external APIs for enhanced functionality.
