Requirements

  • At least 12 years of experience in data, analytics, artificial intelligence, technology risk, or related disciplines.
  • Demonstrated experience governing artificial intelligence systems, including models and agentic workflows, at enterprise scale.
  • Strong understanding of artificial intelligence lifecycle considerations, data usage patterns, and risk management principles.
  • Proven ability to develop and translate strategy into executable standards, workflows, and operating models.
  • Experience influencing senior stakeholders across business, technology, risk, and legal teams.

Responsibilities

  • Lead execution of the AI governance program across analytics, AI, and agentic use cases.
  • Implement enterprise AI governance policies, standards, and guardrails in alignment with defined risk appetite and regulatory expectations.

  • Own the AI governance operating model, including intake, review, escalation, monitoring, and change management processes.
  • Govern AI model lifecycles and AI system behaviors across models, copilots, agents, and retrieval-augmented generation workflows, including retrieval strategies, tool use, actions, and human-in-the-loop requirements.
  • Embed AI governance controls into platforms and delivery workflows so controls are observable, durable, and auditable.
  • Operationalize governance standards for AI development, deployment, monitoring, and retirement.
  • Implement risk-based controls and escalation paths based on use case type, data sensitivity, and impact.
  • Partner with Risk, Legal, Compliance, and Security teams to ensure AI governance execution meets internal and external requirements.
  • Serve as the primary AI governance partner to data science, analytics, engineering, and product teams.
  • Coordinate with Data Management and Data Governance leaders to ensure AI governance aligns with data controls, quality expectations, and AI-readiness requirements.
  • Support enterprise governance forums by preparing materials, surfacing risks, and enabling timely decision-making.
  • Define and track operational key performance indicators for AI governance execution, including coverage, exceptions, monitoring effectiveness, and remediation trends.
  • Identify gaps, inefficiencies, and emerging risks; recommend adjustments to processes, controls, and tooling.
  • Continuously improve governance mechanisms as AI capabilities and use cases evolve.
  • Provide leadership to AI governance practitioners and analysts; set priorities, manage workload, and build governance expertise.
  • Influence senior stakeholders across business, technology, and risk through strong execution, transparency, and practical problem-solving.
