About the role

We are seeking an experienced AI Governance & Enablement Advisor to help assess, formalize, and strengthen an organization’s AI governance program.

• Help establish or refine AI governance policies, standards, intake processes, risk assessments, and operating procedures.
• Support the development and maturity of an AI Center of Excellence.
• Guide the implementation and adoption of AI governance tools and workflows.
• Partner with legal, compliance, security, technology, and business stakeholders.
• Advise on AI training, employee enablement, and internal champion programs.
• Coach internal teams and transfer knowledge so the program can operate independently.

Requirements

• Experience building or improving an AI governance, GRC, security, privacy, or risk-management program.
• Experience working in a regulated or complex enterprise environment.
• Practical knowledge of frameworks such as NIST AI RMF, ISO/IEC 42001, and ISO/IEC 23894.
• Strong understanding of AI risks, including data exposure, inaccurate outputs, bias, model security, and human oversight.
• Ability to advise executives and facilitate discussions across legal, compliance, security, technology, and business teams.
• Strong communication, coaching, stakeholder-management, and decision-making skills.
• Ability to provide strategic guidance without serving as a hands-on technical resource.
