Capco - AI Specialist - Enterprise Decision Management
Requirements
• Business & Domain • Business & Domain • Minimum 10 years of experience in decision management, AI engineering, or a closely related analytical discipline within financial services. • Proven track record of delivering Enterprise Decision Management solutions in production environments — combining predictive analytics, optimisation, and business rules within operational decision flows. • Strong domain knowledge in insurance and/or wealth management: underwriting decision logic, claims assessment, policy eligibility, suitability frameworks, KYC/AML rules, or client segmentation and next-best-action engines. • Experience advising senior stakeholders — Chief Analytics Officers, Chief Risk Officers, Chief Data Officers — on decision automation strategy and the business case for intelligent decisioning investments. • Technical — Decision Management & Classical AI • Hands-on experience with enterprise BRMS platforms in production: IBM Operational Decision Manager (ODM), FICO Blaze Advisor, Red Hat Decision Manager (RHDM), or IBM Drools — with the ability to distinguish and lead on both rule engine integration and rule service design. • Proficiency in decision modelling standards: DMN (Decision Model and Notation), PMML (Predictive Model Markup Language), and their use in documenting, governing, and exchanging decision and model assets. • Practical experience designing and implementing expert systems, including forward and backward chaining inference, Rete algorithm optimisation, and rule conflict resolution strategies. • Working knowledge of case-based reasoning (CBR), Bayesian networks, constraint satisfaction, and genetic and evolutionary algorithms — with experience applying these techniques to real financial services problems. • Experience designing and building traditional credit or insurance scorecards, including feature engineering, binning, weight-of-evidence encoding, logistic regression, and scorecard scaling. • Proficiency in decision optimisation: linear and integer programming, constraint-based optimisation, and the application of optimisation to portfolio-level decision problems such as collections strategy, offer optimisation, or risk-based pricing. • Technical — Predictive Modelling & Modern AI • Working knowledge of machine learning model development, validation, and deployment lifecycle — including gradient boosting (XGBoost, LightGBM), ensemble methods, and neural networks. • Experience designing champion/challenger frameworks, model monitoring pipelines, and population stability analysis for models operating within live decision systems. • Working knowledge of LLM capabilities and limitations, with practical experience designing hybrid decision architectures that combine deterministic rule engines with generative AI components. • Familiarity with AI explainability techniques (SHAP, LIME, counterfactual explanations) and their application in regulated financial services decision contexts. • Experience with model risk management frameworks and the documentation requirements of MAS FEAT principles, HKMA guidance on AI, or equivalent regulatory standards. • Experience with real-time and event-driven decision architectures, including complex event processing (CEP), streaming decision services, and sub-second decisioning requirements. • Exposure to insurance platform ecosystems (Guidewire, Duck Creek, Majesco) or wealth platform ecosystems (Avaloq, FNZ, iCapital) and their integration with external decision and analytics services. • Knowledge of process and decision automation platforms (Pega, Camunda, Appian) and how their native rules capabilities relate to — and differ from — dedicated BRMS platforms. • Prior experience working across Singapore and Hong Kong markets, with an appreciation for the regulatory and competitive dynamics shaping AI adoption in both jurisdictions. • Published thought leadership, conference presentations, or open-source contributions in the decision management, AI, or predictive analytics space.
Responsibilities
• Decision Strategy & Architecture • Lead the design of end-to-end Enterprise Decision Management (EDM) architectures — connecting data ingestion, predictive model scoring, business rule execution, decision optimisation, and outcome measurement into coherent, production-grade decision services. • Advise clients on decision strategy: identifying which decisions to automate, which to augment, and which to keep in human hands — and designing the governance frameworks to manage each appropriately. • Model and decompose complex financial services decision domains — underwriting, claims adjudication, credit and affordability assessment, client suitability, fraud detection, and regulatory compliance — into structured decision architectures using DMN and related standards. • Define the feedback loops and monitoring frameworks that allow decision systems to learn from outcomes — closing the loop between prediction, decision, action, and measurement. • Predictive Analytics & Optimisation • Design and oversee the development of predictive models — including scorecards, logistic regression, gradient boosting, and neural network approaches — that feed directly into operational decision flows. • Advise on champion/challenger frameworks, model validation approaches, and the governance of model changes within live decision systems — ensuring clients meet MAS, HKMA, and internal model risk management requirements. • Rules Engineering & Decision Automation • Distinguish clearly between rule engine integration concerns (deployment architecture, service exposure, API design, DevOps pipelines for rules) and rule service design concerns (authoring, testing, governance, and versioning of business logic) — and bring demonstrated expertise in both. • Design the interfaces between predictive model outputs and rules engine inputs — ensuring that model scores, segments, and recommendations are consumed correctly within decision flows and that the combined output is auditable. • Modern AI Integration • Integrate decision management capabilities with LLM and generative AI architectures — including patterns such as rules-based guardrails over LLM outputs, LLM-driven document understanding feeding structured rule evaluation, and conversational interfaces over decision services. • Advise clients on where deterministic, rules-based approaches and probabilistic, model-based approaches are best combined — and design hybrid architectures that preserve the auditability and consistency that regulated financial services require. • Practice & Client Development • Drive business development activities including proposals, RFP responses, client workshops, and thought leadership on decision intelligence and AI in financial services. • Mentor junior and mid-level team members and contribute actively to building Capco's decision intelligence practice, intellectual property, and accelerators across Asia • KEY ACCOUNTABILITIES • Deliver robust, production-ready decision management solutions that demonstrably improve client decision quality, speed, consistency, and measurability. • Ensure decision systems meet the governance, auditability, explainability, and model risk requirements of financial services regulators across Asia-Pacific, including MAS and HKMA guidelines on the use of AI in decision-making. • Maintain and grow senior client relationships, acting as a trusted long-term advisor on decision intelligence strategy and roadmap. • Uphold Capco's standards of quality, integrity, and professionalism across all client engagements. • Contribute measurably to Capco Asia's decision management practice through reusable assets, methodology development, and external thought leadership. • THE PREFERRED CANDIDATE WILL • Have spent a decade or more building, deploying, and evolving intelligent decision systems in financial services — with a track record that spans the full EDM lifecycle from predictive model development through to rules-driven operational execution and outcome measurement. • Understand the complete toolbox of AI techniques available for decision problems — classical and modern — and have the experience and intellectual honesty to choose the right tool rather than default to whichever approach is currently receiving the most attention. • Be as fluent discussing scorecard development, Gini coefficients, and population stability indices as they are discussing transformer architectures, prompt engineering, and RAG pipelines. • Have deep domain expertise in insurance and/or wealth management decision logic, with secondary familiarity in banking or capital markets. • Be comfortable operating as a senior individual contributor, a client-facing advisor, and a practice builder — often simultaneously. • Thrive in Capco's flat, non-hierarchical culture and bring an entrepreneurial spirit to the challenge of building a high-value, differentiated capability in Asia.
