• Drive automation to reduce manual governance activities and improve compliance.
• Ensure traceability, transparency and auditability of AI assets, models and decisions.
• Develop governance metrics, dashboards and KPIs covering compliance, adoption, risk and effectiveness.
• Collaborate with Data & AI, Enterprise Architecture, IT Engineering, CISO and other technology teams.
• Support regulatory, audit and assurance activities through effective evidence management and reporting.
• Continuously improve governance processes, tooling and operating models.
• 8–12+ years of experience in AI/ML, technology operations, governance, risk, digital transformation or a related field.
• Proven experience implementing enterprise governance processes and operating models.
• Experience working with AI/ML platforms, MLOps, DevSecOps or data platforms.
• Demonstrated ability to operationalise controls and drive adoption across complex organisations.
