About Us
We are supporting a global digital engineering and technology consultancy that helps organisations adopt emerging technologies and deliver complex digital transformation programmes.
As the business continues to grow its AI capabilities, they are looking for an experienced Senior AI Governance Consultant to join their team and work closely with enterprise clients.
This is a permanent opportunity based in London, with a hybrid working model.
Job Description
Our client is looking for an experienced Senior AI Governance Consultant to design and embed practical AI governance across client environments.
This is a highly client-facing role covering the full AI governance lifecycle. You will help turn existing governance frameworks into practical, self-serve guardrails that allow engineering teams and citizen developers to move quickly within defined limits.
You will also lead the thinking around an AI governance control plane, support the review of novel and high-risk AI use cases, and work closely with Risk, Security, Data Governance and Engineering teams.
The role would suit someone who combines strong technical knowledge of AI governance with the consulting and stakeholder management skills to influence across complex organisations.
Key Responsibilities
- Translate AI governance frameworks into practical, self-serve guardrails and patterns that engineering teams and citizen developers can use.
- Communicate and embed AI governance policies across client organisations.
- Support teams in assessing AI use cases and determining the appropriate level of architecture, testing, oversight and monitoring based on risk.
- Lead the thinking around an AI governance control plane, including requirements, buy/build/extend decisions and enforcement priorities.
- Work closely with existing Data Governance teams to ensure data used for AI is appropriately governed, catalogued and managed.
- Lead reviews of novel and high-risk AI use cases alongside Risk and Security stakeholders.
- Develop and maintain AI governance guardrails, patterns and best-practice libraries.
- Maintain AI model, agent and use-case risk registers.
- Work with Risk, Compliance, Security, Data and Engineering teams to embed AI governance into existing processes.
- Facilitate workshops and reviews with technical and non-technical stakeholders.
- Act as a subject matter expert and trusted advisor on AI governance.
