Kensho Technologies is the artificial intelligence innovation hub of S&P Global, the leading provider of indices, ratings, price assessments, automobile insights and market intelligence for the business and finance markets. Kensho works with S&P Global and its customers to build cutting-edge AI solutions to meet the challenges of some of the largest and most successful businesses and institutions. Kensho’s AI portfolio includes traditional AI models such as speech recognition (ASR), entity linking (NED), document extraction, automated database linking, text classification, but is also increasingly focusing on generative AI models, data tooling, and platform experiences.
In 2024, S&P Global announced its AI strategy with Kensho at its vanguard. S&P Global will redefine the intelligence that powers global markets with AI by transforming how customers marshal the power of data in their core workflows to accelerate progress in an increasingly complex world. More specifically, Kensho will accelerate S&P Global’s transformation into a leader in the development, adoption and application of AI. Together, we will help our customers innovate and drive progress now and in the future. Kensho will lead and own the development of an AI Platform in service to the enterprise’s mission and commitment to customers. Our platform of common AI capabilities will infuse new intelligence and skills into S&P Global and transform how our customers marshal the power of data.
In this role, you will be responsible for helping lead the S&P Global AI Accelerator program, the execution engine of S&P Global AI strategy designed to identify, prioritize, and facilitate the highest-value AI initiatives across the enterprise. You will play a pivotal role in an extremely high-leverage and transformational program affecting an $11B annual revenue global enterprise with an over 100 year legacy. You will be a member of the Kensho’s strategy organization, reporting to the Head of Strategic Initiatives and Partnerships and working closely with the Head of Operations, as well as a cross-functional team consisting of business development, product, legal, communications, design, and engineering roles at Kensho and S&P Global divisions (Commodity Insights, Market Intelligence, Ratings, Indices, and Mobility). As the first technical program manager at Kensho, you will also have the opportunity to shape and define the program management function.
At Kensho, we believe in flexibility-first, and give our employees the opportunity to work from where they feel most productive and engaged (must be in the United States). We also value in-person collaboration, so there may be times when travel to one of our Kensho hubs (NY/DC/MA) will be required for team meetings or company events.
