Key Responsibilities:

• Implement AI governance processes across the full AI lifecycle, including data, development, validation, deployment, monitoring and retirement.
• Embed governance controls into AI/ML platforms, MLOps pipelines and lifecycle management processes.
• Manage AI governance operations, including AI registries, model and agent inventories, asset tiering, approvals and attestations.
• 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.

Expertise:

• AI lifecycle management and MLOps
• AI governance, risk, controls and compliance
• Governance process design and automation
• Data and model management platforms
• Metrics, reporting and operational excellence
• Process optimisation and continuous improvement

We are looking for a systems thinker with a strong operational mindset who can balance governance requirements with business agility. You are comfortable working across organisational boundaries, simplifying complex processes and identifying opportunities for automation.

You focus on practical outcomes, scalability and adoption rather than governance in isolation.
