Job Description
VWH is seeking a Vice President, AI Platform Lead to transform our business into an AI-native platform — building a strong data foundation and deploying agentic capabilities across the platform. This will be our first hire focused on AI, and the ideal candidate will own the build end-to-end — designing the data foundation and deploying agentic capabilities that reshape how the firm works, then scaling them across every team. As the firm's central point of accountability for AI, you'll work with senior management to decide which tools we adopt and drive them from individual experimentation into dependable, firmwide capabilities. This role will work closely with teams across the business to identify where AI can meaningfully reduce manual work, while also ensuring every deployment meets the security, compliance, and data-governance standards our business requires.
