Role Overview:

We are building the next generation of AI at Maya, and we are looking for a leader to own that mission.

As Manager, AI Research & Development , you will lead our AI R&D Pillar—the group responsible for turning frontier AI research into real-world fintech impact. This is not a delivery or execution-only role. Your mandate is to explore what’s next in AI, adapt it to Maya’s context, and transform it into solutions that materially improve our products, customer experience, and operations.

You will operate at the intersection of research depth and business relevance. That means shaping technical strategy, growing a world-class research team, and ensuring that cutting-edge ideas move beyond papers and prototypes into deployed systems.

This role is ideal for a leader who enjoys asking hard questions, pushing technical boundaries, and translating research into measurable outcomes.
