The AI Governance Lead Consultant will play a pivotal role in shaping how AI is responsibly developed and deployed across the enterprise.

• AI asset inventory: Develop and maintain a process to understand AI System exposure across the enterprise, including Third Party AI.
• AI Governance operationalization: With the foundational elements described above (risk perspective, control inventory, AI asset inventory), develop and run a process to operationalize governance to the highest-priority areas.
• AI standards and requirements: Develop, maintain, and update artifacts which provide guidance on safe, responsible AI development and procurement.
• Coordination, collaboration and partnership: Work closely with other risk functions to ensure the foundational elements of AI governance are comprehensive and aligned to other risk and return programs, such as Data, Model, Third Party, Security, etc.

Supervisory Responsibilities:
