Executive Manager Product Owner - One Ops AI Foundations

Sydney CBD Area Full time

See yourself in our team

The COO Core Foundations Crew is at the centre of the bank’s operational transformation. We deliver foundational, reusable capabilities that enable the shift from traditional banking operations to a modern, technology-driven model.

The Product Owner – One Ops AI Foundations will lead the design and delivery of the bank’s standardised AI agent ecosystem, defining how AI agents are built, deployed, and governed across COO Operations. This product will establish reusable intelligence and engineering frameworks that enable safe, scalable autonomy in operations.

You will own the product vision and roadmap, focused on creating consistent patterns, infrastructure, and guardrails for AI agents. You will partner with cross-functional teams—including engineering, data, risk, and operations—to ensure AI capabilities are robust, compliant, and embedded seamlessly into operational workflows.

You will drive initiatives that enable scalable, AI-powered operations by improving reusability, accelerating agent development, and ensuring strong governance and control. This will unlock safe autonomy at scale while maintaining trust, transparency, and reliability.

In this role, you will guide the squad to build trusted, enterprise-grade AI foundations that support both frontline and back-office operations. You will balance strategic direction with hands-on delivery, ensuring roadmaps align with enterprise priorities while maintaining strong execution discipline.
