AI Security & Governance

• Define and implement the organization’s AI security and governance framework, incorporating best practices from NIST AI RMF, ISO/IEC 23894, and relevant regional regulations such as the EU AI Act.
• Develop and enforce AI governance policies that align with internal risk appetite, ethical standards, and external regulatory obligations.
• Identify, assess, and mitigate AI-specific risks including model bias, adversarial attacks, data leakage, model inversion, and poisoning.
• Establish secure ML lifecycle practices including data sanitization, model hardening, explainability, and continuous monitoring for model drift and degradation.
• Collaborate with compliance and legal partners to maintain awareness of AI-related laws and standards (e.g., GDPR, Algorithmic Accountability Act).

Security Architecture & Risk Management

• Maintain and evolve threat models for AI and software systems, ensuring they remain current, comprehensive, and risk-informed.
• Lead reviews of software and model architectures to ensure compliance with established security and AI governance standards.
• Regularly assess and prioritize remediation of vulnerabilities in both internally developed and third-party AI components.
• Ensure security verification tools and AI audit mechanisms are effective, consistent, and automated where possible.

Governance, Monitoring, and Incident Response

• Design and oversee AI auditing and monitoring programs to ensure ethical and secure use of AI models post-deployment.
• Develop AI-specific incident response playbooks and lead investigations into security or ethics-related AI failures.
• Implement governance tooling and automation, leveraging ModelOps or compliance platforms (e.g., MLflow, OpenScale, Credo AI) to streamline audit logging and compliance checks.

Education, Culture, and Leadership

• Define and deliver education programs for engineers, data scientists, and testers on secure AI and software development practices.
• Foster a culture of ethical and responsible AI innovation, ensuring teams balance speed with security and compliance.
• Mentor and coach peers, providing feedback on best practices for AI governance and security-by-design.
• Act as a trusted advisor to leadership and cross-functional stakeholders on AI trends, risks, and emerging regulatory impacts.

Role Essentials — What You Bring

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Data Science, Information Security, or a related field.
• Minimum 8 years of progressive security architecture experience, with at least 3+ years in AI/ML system security, governance, or compliance.
• Strong understanding of secure development practices, cloud security (AWS/Azure/GCP), and compliance frameworks such as SOC 2, GDPR, and NIST.
• Hands-on experience with AI/ML pipelines, including data preparation, model deployment, and monitoring.
• Experience with SAST, DAST, SCA, and AI governance tools.
• Familiarity with AI ethics, fairness, and bias mitigation techniques.
• Demonstrated ability to translate technical AI risks into business language for non-technical stakeholders.
