Job description

About Turing

Turing’s mission is to accelerate superintelligence to drive real economic progress. Headquartered in San Francisco, Turing works with frontier AI labs to generate high-quality datasets, reinforcement learning environments, and frontier research benchmarks that improve model capabilities in software engineering, enterprise knowledge work, and advanced STEM reasoning. In software engineering, Turing is the largest and longest-running data provider in the category. Turing also works with Fortune 500 enterprises across financial services, life sciences, healthcare, retail, automotive, and CPG to build and deploy end-to-end agentic AI systems inside mission-critical workflows. By operating on both sides, Turing closes the loop between frontier research and enterprise deployment, turning real-world deployment signals into better data, evaluations, and more capable models.

About the role

Turing Intelligence builds and ships production AI systems for large enterprises. In banking, capital markets, asset management, and insurance our clients come to us with a hypothesis about where AI can move a P&L line, and we turn it into working software that runs in their core workflows, in a regulated environment, with a measured result.

The Engagement Manager owns that outcome: from signed SOW through production deployment, adoption, and renewal. You are the client's day-to-day executive counterpart, the leader of AI Engagement Leads, Forward Deployed Engineers (FDEs), and the owner of the engagement's scope, timeline, margin, & expansion.

This is not a project-management seat and not an engineering seat. It is an account delivery leader who runs a book of business inside a client, keeps senior stakeholders confident, and holds the engagement to its commercial and delivery commitments. You will not write code, but you need enough technical fluency to scope AI work credibly, challenge your engineers' plans, and explain trade-offs to a client CTO or model-risk team without a translator.

What you'll own

Client relationship

• Be the trusted counterpart to client sponsors from working teams to managing directors and C-suite. Own the steering committee, the executive updates, and the hard conversations.

• Understand the client's business, org, and politics well enough to anticipate what they need before they ask, and to know which stakeholders can stall or accelerate an initiative.

• Navigate regulated-enterprise complexity as part of the plan, not a surprise at go-live: model risk management, information security review, data residency, procurement, legal, and Responsible AI requirements.

• Protect the relationship through delivery problems. Bring bad news early, with a plan.

Delivery, SOW to production

• Own engagements end to end. Structure SOWs with clear scope, milestones, dependencies, acceptance criteria, and a value hypothesis before signature.

• Run the engagement: cadence, staffing, risk and dependency management, decision logs, client communications. Make real-time calls on scope and priority to protect the critical path.

• Hold the standard that success is adoption and measured impact, not "delivered on time." Define the baseline and KPIs up front and report against them.

• Set the quality bar with your engineering lead: production readiness, evaluation of model-backed components, and acceptance testing are part of "done."

P&L and growth

• Own the engagement P&L against Turing Intelligence's margin targets. Manage staffing mix, utilization, change orders, and scope creep to protect gross margin. Forecast accurately and flag variance early.

• Identify and shape expansion: new use cases, adjacent business units, follow-on SOWs, renewals. Partner with the BFSI GM, who owns the account relationship and revenue number, to convert them.

• Report value delivered, risks, and key decisions to client sponsors and Turing Intelligence leadership on a fixed cadence.

Team leadership

• Lead AI Engagement Leads, Forward Deployed Engineers, and delivery staff. Set direction, unblock, and hold the bar on client-facing professionalism and delivery discipline.

• Partner with your technical lead on architecture and staffing decisions; own the outcome even where you don't own the design.

• Codify what works into reusable BFSI delivery playbooks, estimation models, and SOW patterns.

What you bring

Required

• Collaborative Engagement Manager with sound leadership instincts, a team player who keeps teams motivated under delivery pressure and leads by example, serving as a role model in work ethic, accountability, and client commitment.

• 8+ years in client-facing delivery or consulting, with at least 3 years leading engagements or accounts for financial services clients (banking, capital markets, asset management, insurance, or payments).

• Track record of owning engagement or account financials: margin, forecasting, staffing, change orders, renewals.

• You have led a
