Overview As Engineering Manager (AI) within Advanced Analytics (DA3) in the Chief Data & AI Office at Allianz Partners, you will manage our AI engineering teams: engineers who build agent-based AI services and conversational/voice AI systems that integrate with our digital insurance products. The remit covers two delivery surfaces: agent-based AI services consumed by domain teams via API (and conforming to Core Backend client libraries / API conventions where applicable), and voice/conversational AI experiences for customer-facing and operational use cases. You will own people management, performance, hiring, resourcing, and delivery leadership. Technical decisions stay with the senior engineers and technical leads in each team. Your role is to build the people structure, capacity, and ways of working that let those engineers ship applied AI into production. You'll partner with peer Engineering Managers on cross-team dependencies, with the AI Governance Review forum on AI compliance and ethics review, and with the Head of AI Platform & Engineering (HoP&E) as CAB chair on AI service change windows. Key Responsibilities • Manage and grow the AI teams: hiring, onboarding, performance management, career development, and 1:1s for ML/AI engineers, computational linguists, conversational AI engineers, and AI specialists embedded with delivery teams., • Capacity-balance engineers across the agent and voice surfaces in response to demand from domain teams; coordinate with senior leadership on team sizing and skill mix., • Coordinate the embedded-AI-specialist model with the backend Engineering Manager: agree how specialists join domain delivery, how their performance is reviewed, and how their work is balanced between embedded delivery and central capability building., • Coach and develop the technical leads in both teams: support them as authorities on prompt engineering, agent design, NLU/NLP, and voice flow design while keeping standards consistent., • Work with the AI Governance Review forum (the dedicated AI-ethics body in the hub operating model) on AI compliance reviews: model choices, data handling, bias review, and compliance attestations., • Coordinate change windows for AI service rollouts through the HoP&E-chaired CAB; feed the change calendar to the Run & Change service layer., • Help balance the agent and voice roadmaps: ensure investment is staged correctly across each surface and the hybrid use cases that span both., • Coordinate with backend leadership on how AI services are consumed in production., • Coordinate with frontend leadership on AI-driven UX patterns., • Work with delivery leads on ceremonies, cross-team planning, and continuous improvement of delivery flow., • Run hiring loops: design interview rubrics for ML/AI engineers, computational linguists, conversational AI engineers, and embedded AI specialists aligned with the team's applied-AI delivery model. Required Experience And Skills • 8+ years engineering experience with at least 3 years in a people-management role leading applied AI, ML, or conversational AI delivery teams., • Track record managing 6 to 15 engineers across at least two distinct teams or specialisations (e.g., ML engineering and conversational/voice AI)., • Strong technical literacy in the AI stack, enough to mentor and challenge but not to override technical leads:, • LLM-based agent systems: prompt engineering, agent design patterns, evaluation, retrieval augmentation., • Voice and conversational AI platforms: NLU/NLP system design, speech pipeline integration, dialogue management., • Production deployment of AI services on Kubernetes: API design, observability, latency and cost control., • Embedded-specialist delivery models: placing specialists into product teams without losing central capability ownership., • Experience running structured hiring at scale for AI roles: rubric-based interviews, calibration, and onboarding programmes., • Experience with formal performance management cycles, career frameworks, and compensation calibration., • Comfortable working with formal AI governance and ethics review processes; familiarity with AI compliance requirements in regulated industries., • Demonstrated ability to coordinate across organisational boundaries: peer Engineering Managers, governance, backend and frontend delivery teams, and external vendors. Ways of Working • Leads through coaching, not directing: defers technical authority to senior engineers and technical leads., • Comfortable in agile, iterative delivery environments with a clear bias for unblocking the team over centralising decisions., • Pragmatic about applied AI: focused on shipping AI capabilities into production for measurable business outcomes, not on research for its own sake., • Clear communicator across global, cross-functional stakeholders; able to translate AI capability and reliability into business impact for non-technical audiences., • Pragmatic adopter of AI-assisted developer tools (e.g., GitHub Copilot, Claude Code) and supports the team in integrating them into daily delivery. Nice to Have • Experience leading distributed AI delivery teams., • Background in voice or conversational AI at production scale (IVR replacement, contact-centre automation, voice-first product experiences)., • Experience operating an embedded-specialist model alongside a central capability team., • Experience with AI governance frameworks: model cards, bias audits, regulatory attestations., • Insurance or financial services domain familiarity (claims, policy, payments)., • Experience in regulated industries (insurance, finance, healthcare) where compliance, audit, and access control are part of standard delivery practice.

The manager is expected to take a fair share of scheduled rota cover alongside the engineers and respond to production incidents and urgent operational issues during that cover, including evenings, weekends and bank holidays where required. Ensure rota coverage, handovers, escalation routes and recovery time are planned and sustainable, while protecting time for reliability, control improvement, technical debt, training and documentation. Build an accountable coaching culture in which engineers raise risk early, follow agreed standards, maintain evidence and learn from incidents and control failures. Engineering & Platform Leadership Provide hands-on engineering leadership for Bromcom's Azure-hosted, multi-tenant SaaS platform. Work closely with engineers to design, build, review, troubleshoot and improve platform services, pipelines, Infrastructure-as-Code, automation and operational tooling. The manager remains accountable for technical quality while enabling engineers to own their work. Set and maintain engineering standards for Azure architecture, Azure DevOps, Bicep/ARM, deployment patterns, observability, resilience, security and operational support. Challenge designs and changes using risk, maintainability, failure-mode, rollback and supportability thinking; involve senior engineers and technical leadership where specialist authority is required. Own platform SLAs/SLOs, service health, major-incident command, root-cause analysis, disaster recovery, business continuity testing and continuous service improvement. Operational Controls, Standards & Compliance Take day-to-day ownership within the DevOps team for implementing the agreed operational control improvement plan, driving actions to completion and then maintaining the controls as part of normal team operation. Implement and enforce an end-to-end change lifecycle covering request, design, risk assessment, peer or senior review, testing, approval, implementation, post-change verification and formal closure. Ensure policies, standard operating procedures, runbooks, RACI and ownership arrangements, approval thresholds and evidence requirements remain current, practical and aligned across Azure DevOps, SysAid and other operational systems. Ensure production and customer-impacting changes, including emergency changes and customer-specific change notices, have proportionate risk classification, segregation of duties, pre-production evidence, approval, rollback plans and traceable outcomes. Maintain audit-ready evidence for changes, deployments, access, incidents, disaster-recovery tests, vulnerabilities, exceptions and corrective actions, aligned with Bromcom's security, quality, service-management, UK GDPR and customer obligations. Confirm controls are operating effectively, not simply documented or configured. Track exceptions, overdue actions and repeat failures to closure, with clear corrective actions and independent assurance where required. Provide weekly control reporting and escalate material risk, blocked actions or insufficient capacity promptly. Work with QA, Compliance, Security and technical leads to translate procedural controls into automated technical gates where practical. Delivery, Automation & AI Work directly with engineers to design, build, review and continually improve Azure DevOps CI/CD pipelines and Bicep/ARM Infrastructure-as-Code, including automated approvals, testing, security checks, evidence capture and post-deployment verification. Reduce manual toil and unsafe variation through automation, reusable platform patterns and clear service ownership; ensure manual exceptions are visible, justified, time-bound and reviewed. Set the strategy and guardrails for AI-assisted and agentic DevOps delivery across CI/CD, Infrastructure-as-Code generation, incident triage, log analysis, runbook automation and documentation. Use and govern AI engineering tools such as Claude, GitHub Copilot or Codex, with clear quality, security, data-protection and human accountability controls. Apply them practically to increase delivery speed, quality and reliability, while ensuring an engineer remains accountable for every output and change. Security, Identity & FinOps Own platform identity, privileged-access and secrets-management controls, including Entra ID, Key Vault, OAuth, certificate automation, WAF and network security across VNets, App Gateway, S2S VPN and DNS. Ensure access follows least-privilege principles, is reviewed regularly and is supported by effective joiner-mover-leaver, break-glass and segregation-of-duties controls. Own observability standards across Azure Monitor and Grafana, security and vulnerability follow-up, and cloud cost and FinOps accountability for the Azure estate. Stakeholder & Cross-Team Influence Act as the accountable management and technical escalation point across Software Engineering, CloudOps, IT and Security, QA and Compliance, and external partners, working with senior engineers on design-authority decisions. Provide concise, conclusions-first reporting to the CTO and Executive Team on service health, delivery, control effectiveness, risks, exceptions and improvement progress. Contribute to Bromcom's software delivery transformation programme and align the DevOps operating model and controls with AIDP and wider software-engineering standards. Person Specification Essential Proven line-management experience leading a DevOps, CloudOps or platform team, with accountability for recruitment, objectives, appraisals, development and performance management. Current hands-on experience in DevOps, cloud or platform engineering, with the ability to contribute directly to architecture, Azure platform work, pipelines, Bicep/ARM Infrastructure-as-Code, automation, troubleshooting, security and resilience. Candidates should expect approximately 70% of the role to involve hands-on engineering delivery. Evidence of implementing and maintaining operational controls, processes and procedures in a DevOps or CloudOps environment, including ownership of improvement actions, exceptions, corrective actions and audit evidence. Practical command of end-to-end change and release governance, including risk classification, peer or senior review, testing, approvals, segregation of duties, rollback, emergency change, post-change verification and closure. Deep Azure platform expertise across Entra ID, App Services, Key Vault, App Gateway, VNets, Azure SQL or MySQL, WAF and DNS. Strong CI/CD and Infrastructure-as-Code knowledge across Azure DevOps pipelines and Bicep/ARM for Windows and Linux workloads, with the ability to govern standards and technical gates. A track record of operating production, multi-tenant SaaS at scale, including SLA/SLO ownership, major-incident command, root-cause analysis, disaster recovery and service improvement. Willingness and ability to participate personally in the out-of-hours on-call rota, including scheduled evening, weekend and bank-holiday cover where required. Experience working with security, compliance and audit teams in a regulated or data-sensitive environment, with the ability to turn policies into workable controls and demonstrate that they operate effectively. Demonstrable practical use of Claude, GitHub Copilot or Codex as engineering delivery tools, with sound governance, secure use and accountable human review. Clear senior-level communication and reporting, with the discipline to assign owners, manage risks and dependencies, challenge weak evidence and pursue actions through to verified closure. Desirable Experience leading an operational-control improvement or remediation programme in an ISO 27001 or similarly controlled environment. Containerisation and orchestration experience across AKS or Kubernetes and Docker for multi-tenant workloads. Knowledge of ITIL or service-management controls and practical use of service desk or work-management platforms such as SysAid. Experience in education, public sector, health, finance or another data-sensitive sector, including familiarity with UK GDPR and customer-specific change controls. Relevant certification, such as Azure Solutions Architect Expert or DevOps Engineer Expert. TPBN1_UKTJ
