JOB DESCRIPTION

Join a dynamic AI Risk Governance program where you’ll play a hands-on role in strengthening governance processes, supporting cross-functional coordination, and helping ensure clear execution across a complex enterprise environment. This is an excellent opportunity for a detail-oriented professional who enjoys balancing program coordination, document development, and stakeholder communication in a fast-moving setting.

Responsibilities

  • Support the AI risk review intake process and governance workflow from end to end.
  • Coordinate working group meetings, including agendas, pre-read materials, briefing documents, and follow-up on action items.
  • Help connect second-line governance functions to ensure smooth handoffs and timely issue resolution.
  • Track open actions, milestones, and escalations across the program and prepare clear status updates.
  • Create concise briefing materials and executive-ready updates for leadership and committee audiences.
  • Build and maintain project plans that keep governance deliverables moving from planning through execution.
  • Develop and refine governance documentation such as policies, procedures, standards, templates, and reference materials.
  • Draft stakeholder communications, training resources, and program updates that support adoption and clarity.

Skills

  • 5–10 years of experience in a second-line governance, risk, or compliance function, ideally within the insurance industry.
  • Strong project coordination skills with the ability to manage multiple workstreams independently.
  • Excellent written communication skills and the ability to produce polished, executive-level materials.
  • Working knowledge of AI governance concepts, including use-case risk assessment, responsible AI principles, and regulatory expectations.
  • Familiarity with frameworks such as NIST AI RMF and similar governance models.
  • Ability to shift comfortably between planning, coordination, and hands-on execution.
  • Strong organizational skills, follow-through, and comfort working in an active program environment.

Preferred Skills

  • Experience supporting an AI governance, model risk, or enterprise risk program.
  • PMP and/or AIGP certification.
  • Experience creating policies, procedures, standards, templates, or other governance documentation.
  • Experience preparing materials for senior leadership or committee-level audiences.
  • Ability to collaborate effectively across teams and influence progress through clear communication.
