• Represent CSRO on the AI Working Groups, conducting independent AI use case reviews and applying the AI risk tiering framework to scale challenge intensity to data exposure, automation, and business impact
• Identify, assess, and communicate material AI risks, control gaps, and thematic issues across cyber, model, data, privacy, and third-party risk domains
• Engage with senior CSRO and First Line stakeholders to discuss assessment results and remediation of AI control deficiencies
• Contribute to continuous improvement of the Credible Challenge methodology, standards, and templates as applied to the AI domain
• Support AI policy awareness and acceptable-usage training, and assist with regulatory and audit responses on AI (e.g., Reg SCI, FRBNY/SEC inquiries)
• Lead and contribute to special projects including program enhancements, resource coordination, and senior management presentations
• Develop, communicate and ensure adherence to department risk policies, procedures and best practices
• Stay abreast of industry and market events that impact cyber risk management processes
• Foster an environment of regulatory awareness and ensure regulatory compliance
• Conduct periodic assessments and surveys to gauge DTCC's AI risk and acceptable usage awareness level and recommend adjustments to the program

• Cyber security risk background with working knowledge of AI/GenAI risk domains (prompt injection, model drift, hallucination, data leakage, shadow AI)
• Bachelor's degree preferred or equivalent experience
• Professional certifications such as CISSP, CISA, CRISC or equivalent are a plus
• Knowledge of frameworks and regulations, including Cyber Risk Institute (CRI), National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Cybersecurity Framework, Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council (FFIEC), and New York State Department of Financial Services (NYSDFS)
