This executive role is focused on establishing Google Cloud as the definitive platform for the banking sector's evolution, driving the adoption of our advanced Data, AI, and agentic technologies.
The Work

The ideal candidate will have deep credibility within the banking world, a profound understanding of its regulatory complexities, and a powerful vision for how technology can securely and intelligently reshape the future of finance.
Key Responsibilities
Strategic Industry Leadership: You will be the chief architect of Google Cloud's go-to-market strategy for the global banking industry. This involves developing a deep understanding of the market landscape, from global universal banks to regional institutions and digital-native neobanks.

This involves helping banks break down deeply entrenched data silos to create unified data platforms for advanced analytics and reporting. You will spearhead the adoption of AI and machine learning for mission-critical use cases such as real-time fraud detection, anti-money laundering (AML) pattern recognition, credit risk modeling, and algorithmic trading. Furthermore, you will drive the responsible use of generative AI and intelligent agents to transform customer contact centers and automate complex middle- and back-office operations.
Security, Compliance, and Trust: Trust is the bedrock of the banking industry, and you will be its ultimate champion on our platform. You will lead Google Cloud's strategy for meeting and exceeding the stringent security and compliance mandates of global and regional financial regulators (e.g., FFIEC, EBA, MAS, PRA). You will work directly with bank executives, auditors, and regulators to demonstrate our commitment to security and data sovereignty, building the confidence required for banks to run their most critical workloads on Google Cloud.
Ecosystem and Thought Leadership: You will be responsible for building and nurturing a world-class ecosystem of partners critical to the banking sector, including core banking software providers, FinTechs, and specialized system integrators.
