This is a highly visible role that will work closely with executive leadership, technology teams, security stakeholders, and governance committees. The individual will help evaluate emerging AI technologies, establish appropriate governance and risk frameworks, and influence how AI is securely and responsibly adopted across the organization.
The position extends beyond AI governance and will also have exposure to broader technology risk, cybersecurity, security engineering, architecture, and detection capabilities .
Key Responsibilities
Help build and mature the organization's AI Risk and AI Governance program , including frameworks, policies, standards, and controls.
Evaluate AI platforms, models, tools, and emerging technologies from technology, cybersecurity, operational, and enterprise risk perspectives.
Partner with senior executives and cross-functional stakeholders to establish appropriate governance around the adoption and use of AI.
Identify and assess risks associated with new AI capabilities and translate technical findings into actionable recommendations for leadership.
Develop processes for evaluating, documenting, monitoring, and managing AI-related risks across the organization.
Support broader technology and cybersecurity risk initiatives , including security architecture, engineering, and detection capabilities.
Partner with technical teams to strengthen security controls and influence the direction of enterprise security programs.

Experience within financial services, regulated organizations, or publicly traded companies is strongly preferred.
Why This Role
This is an opportunity to take a meaningful role in shaping an organization's approach to AI at a time when its use across the enterprise is rapidly expanding. Rather than inheriting a fully established AI risk function, this individual will have the opportunity to help build the program, establish its direction, and influence how AI is governed and secured across the firm .
The role offers significant executive exposure while still providing the opportunity to remain close to technology, cybersecurity, and emerging AI capabilities.
