Realising SNB’s AI Ambition: Talent, Compliance & Delivery
PRIVATE CTO BRIEFING FOR RASHA ABU ALSAUD
AI is no longer experimental at SNB. It’s operational. But AI delivery responsibility now sits squarely inside your workforce, Rasha.
Under your leadership, SNB’s AI platforms are powering fraud detection, hyper-personalisation, credit scoring and wealth management.
But as scale increases, so does delivery risk — not from the models, but from people:
Critical skill shortages | Workforce instability
Compliance pressure in a highly regulated environment
THE PROBLEM:
Our analysis of SNB's challenges in technology as you seek to lead in AI:
MLOps Gaps — Model deployment cycles stall due to shortage of platform and production engineers.
Attrition Risk — Loss of key specialists causes cascading programme delays across multiple workstreams.
Governance Blind Spots — AI models in production often lack centralised workforce oversight for regulatory and internal audit review.
Saudisation Pressure — Balancing depth of technical expertise while meeting Saudisation obligations is uniquely complex in AI teams.
Project Cost Exposure — Each unplanned loss or delay can inflate budgets significantly and risk regulatory timelines.
OUR SOLUTION:
Tangent Arabia’s AI workforce engine; built for SNB
Predictive Sourcing of Banking AI Specialists
Direct pipelines of MLOps engineers, model risk specialists, AI governance experts and compliance-aware data scientists.
Secure, Fully-Compliant Onboarding
Automated workflows aligned to SDAIA, KSA labour law, financial sector audit frameworks, and Saudisation planning.
Real-Time Engagement Intelligence
Continuous monitoring of workforce engagement, sentiment, and productivity — giving early visibility to potential risks before delivery is compromised.
AI Governance Dashboards for CTO Visibility
Live oversight across AI workforce assignments, skills gaps, model delivery status, and compliance readiness — fully aligned to SNB’s internal governance.
Elastic AI Talent Pods for SNB’s Roadmap
On-demand scaling of AI delivery teams as programmes accelerate — without long-term fixed overhead.

PROOF POINT SNAPSHOT
In a recent financial services client engagement, Tangent identified 21% of specialised AI resources at elevated exit risk. Early interventions prevented delivery disruption on $7.5m in at-risk workstreams.
