Global Head of Enterprise Standards The Opportunity Analog Devices is seeking a Global Head of Enterprise Standards to provide executive leadership for software quality, functional safety, product security assurance, and Responsible AI governance across products, software, systems, and emerging technologies. This role will shape the strategies, operating models, capabilities, and assurance practices that enable ADI to deliver safe, secure, reliable, and trustworthy products while accelerating responsible innovation. As the enterprise leader for these four critical disciplines, you will partner with executive leadership, engineering organizations, product groups, Legal, Regulatory Affairs, and business teams to embed quality, safety, security, and responsible AI throughout the product and technology lifecycle. A core part of Responsible AI governance will be establishing effective data governance for AI, recognizing that trustworthy outcomes depend on the quality, provenance, ownership, protection, permitted use, and ongoing stewardship of the data used to train, validate, deploy, and monitor AI systems. Standards engagement, certification readiness, regulatory coordination, and governance frameworks will serve as key enablers of this mission, strengthening customer trust, managing enterprise risk, and supporting ADI's technology leadership. Responsibilities Quality, Safety, Security, and Responsible AI Set the global strategy and operating model for software quality, functional safety, product security assurance, and Responsible AI governance. Lead and develop global teams of technical leaders and subject-matter experts across these four disciplines. Drive software development quality and process maturity through risk-based assurance, lifecycle governance, measurement, independent oversight, and continuous improvement. Establish functional safety capabilities that integrate hazard analysis, safety planning, safety cases, assessment, and assurance into product and system development. Direct product security assurance across secure development lifecycles, security risk assessment, vulnerability management, product incident readiness, and independent assurance. Lead Responsible AI governance, including integrated AI and data governance, use-case risk classification, lifecycle controls, human oversight, evaluation, monitoring, and accountability. Establish data governance as a foundational element of AI governance, with clear accountability for data ownership and stewardship, data quality and fitness for purpose, provenance and lineage, access and usage rights, privacy and security, retention, third-party data, documentation, and controls for training, validation, deployment, and monitoring data. Partner with enterprise data, privacy, security, legal, and engineering leaders to ensure AI data practices are consistent, traceable, risk-based, and aligned with business objectives and responsible-use commitments. Ensure development processes support safe, secure, reliable, high-quality, and trustworthy products and solutions. Define performance measures and assurance reporting that provide executive visibility into maturity, risk, product readiness, and business outcomes. Enable responsible innovation at scale by embedding proportionate quality, safety, security, and AI governance practices early in the product and technology lifecycle.
