You'll partner closely with Legal, Compliance, and the CISO to keep AI use safe, compliant, and aligned with our values.

  • Set the technical assurance that includes validation frameworks, red-teaming, production monitoring, and pre-production sign-off gates
  • Own the end-end AI model lifecycle governance standard from ideation to deployment and monitoring
  • Drive LLM and agentic AI governance - grounding standards, retrieval integrity, tool use controls, autonomous action limits, and human-in-the-loop enforcement
  • Own GxP AI validation strategy and audit readiness across all regulated environments
  • Lead AI regulatory intelligence e.g. FDA, EMA, EU AI Actand emerging global frameworks, coordinated with Legal and business units to get ahead of compliance obligations
  • Partner at the executive level with Legal, Compliance, Regulatory Affairs, and CISO on regulatory interpretation, risk posture, and technical standards

This role might be for you if you:

  • Have led AI governance or technical risk functions in a complex, regulated industry and built the teams that execute them
  • Bring technical depth to set strategy and leadership range to hire and hold accountable the experts who implement it
  • Understand the distinct risk profiles of predictive, generative, and agentic systems and have governed them in production
  • Have driven GxP AI validation strategy in a life sciences or biopharma setting
  • Stay ahead of FDA AI/ML guidance, EU AI Act, and emerging frameworks — and convert them into enterprise action
  • Operate with credibility at the engineering level and the board level
  • See AI governance as a strategic capability that accelerates the business — and build it that way

This role requires:
  • A Bachelor's degree in a related field (advanced degree required for certain scientific or clinical positions)
