Demonstrated ability to both coordinate programs and execute deliverables independently. Clear, concise written communication; comfortable drafting documents, executive-level committee materials, and stakeholder-facing content. Working familiarity with AI governance concepts: use-case risk assessment, responsible AI principles, and relevant regulatory expectations. Able to shift between strategic coordination and ground-level execution. Comfortable operating in an active, fast-moving program where priorities can shift. Preferred : Experience supporting a formal AI governance, model risk, or enterprise risk program. Familiarity with NIST AI RMF or similar frameworks. Prior exposure to executive committee governance (agendas, briefing materials, action tracking). Certifications such as PMP and AIGP are a plus. Success in this role: You need an understanding of how enterprise AI governance programs work and the discipline to drive execution across a multi-stakeholder environment. This is not an advisory, AI strategy, AI engineering, or model risk technical validation role. You will not build AI systems or conduct quantitative model testing.
