AI Governance Manager – AI Systems & Risk
Function: Data / AI Governance Location: London
Curious about what’s next?
So are we. Join Compare the Market and help to make financial decision making a breeze for millions.
At Compare the Market, we’re a purpose-driven business powered by tech and AI. We’re building high-performing, results-driven teams with the skills, mindset, and ambition to deliver outcomes at pace. Every role here plays a part in driving our mission forward, and we create an environment where you can bring your authentic self, grow a truly characterful career, and see the direct impact of your work on the lives of our customers.
We’ve carved a meerkat-shaped niche and we’re looking for ambitious, curious thinkers who thrive in a fast-moving, high-impact environment. If you love accountability, embrace challenge, and want to make a real difference, you’ll fit right in.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Provide first-line governance for AI systems across their full lifecycle, from design through to deployment, monitoring, change and incident response
- Lead technical assessments for AI “License to Operate” decisions, presenting clear, evidence-based recommendations to senior governance forums - including recommendations to escalate, redesign, or withhold approval where warranted
- Independently evaluate and probe AI systems (including generative and agentic systems) to verify that they are safe, robust, and operating within risk appetite
- Apply and contribute to evaluation, observability, and safety standards, and translate them into measurable system controls
- Assess risks across complex AI systems, including multi-component interactions, agentic behaviours, foundation model supply chain risk, and emergent failure modes
- Produce the technical risk picture for built AI systems - assessment, reporting, and metrics that feed governance forums and CTM's overall AI risk position
- Consult on the design of high-risk AI systems, feeding in governance requirements early and providing constructive challenge through development
- Partner with Data Science, ML Engineering, Software Engineering, Risk & Compliance teams, and inform the evolution of governance standards as AI capabilities and practice develop
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
What We’re Looking For
- You’ll bring demonstrable technical depth in AI systems in production - through hands-on engineering, applied research, or comparable practitioner experience. You have strong instincts for AI safety and risk: able to identify what could go wrong with a system, reason about likelihood and impact, and recommend mitigations that work in practice.
- You're genuinely interested in how AI systems fail - including the non-obvious and emergent failure modes - and you can design and critically assess evaluation approaches for AI systems, including generative AI, RAG, and agentic architectures, rather than just applying off-the-shelf metrics.
- You're comfortable operating as advisor and assessor rather than builder, and comfortable being the dissenting technical voice in the room with senior stakeholders - able to make an evidence-based case for slowing down or rethinking delivery when warranted, while recognising when concerns don't justify holding things up.
- You'll write clearly and concisely - analysis that equips senior decision-makers to act. A background in data science, ML engineering, or AI safety/evaluation research is a strong plus, as is experience with approaches like multi-step evals, LLM-as-judge, or red-teaming, or operating in a regulated consumer or financial services environment.
