JOB DESCRIPTION

Join an enterprise risk team supporting a fast-moving AI governance program in a hands-on, execution-focused role. This position blends program coordination with direct ownership of deliverables, offering the opportunity to help strengthen governance processes, communications, and leadership reporting across a high-visibility initiative.

Responsibilities

  • Support the AI review workflow and help keep governance activities moving smoothly across stakeholders.
  • Coordinate working group meetings, including agendas, pre-read materials, briefing documents, and follow-up on action items.
  • Serve as a connector between governance functions to ensure clear handoffs and timely communication.
  • Track open actions, milestones, and escalations, and prepare concise status updates for leadership and committee audiences.
  • Review governance program materials such as policies, procedures, standards, and templates using provided guidance.
  • Develop and maintain project plans, then drive roadmap deliverables from planning through completion in partnership with cross-functional teams.
  • Draft and support stakeholder communications, training materials, and reference guides that help improve program execution and awareness.
  • Contribute to ongoing improvements that make the governance program more effective and robust.

Skills

  • 5 to 10 years of experience in governance, risk, or compliance, ideally within financial services or insurance.
  • Proven ability to coordinate programs while also owning and delivering work independently.
  • Strong project coordination and organizational skills with excellent attention to detail.
  • Clear, concise writing skills for executive updates, committee materials, and stakeholder communications.
  • Working knowledge of AI governance concepts, including use-case risk assessment, responsible AI principles, and regulatory expectations.
  • Comfort operating in a dynamic environment where priorities may shift quickly.
  • Ability to support both strategic coordination and hands-on execution.

Preferred Skills

  • Experience supporting an AI governance, model risk, or enterprise risk program.
  • Familiarity with NIST AI RMF or similar frameworks.
  • Exposure to executive or committee-level governance processes, including agendas, briefings, and action tracking.
  • PMP, AIGP, or similar certifications are a plus.
  • Collaborative mindset with a proactive, adaptable approach to teamwork.
