The AI Governance Principal helps ensure that AI use cases are reviewed consistently, documented appropriately, monitored over time, and aligned with applicable legal, regulatory, contractual, privacy, security, and internal policy requirements. This role also supports reporting, audit readiness, training, and continuous improvement of AI governance processes.
Your role in our mission• Maintain and administer the centralized AI use case repository and approval inventory, including submitted, approved, conditionally approved, deferred, declined, active, retired, and re-review-required use cases.
• Manage the AI use case intake workflow, perform initial triage for completeness, and coordinate with business owners to obtain required information and supporting documentation.
• Review submitted AI use cases for completeness and readiness for governance review, including alignment to required intake materials, risk information, intended use, data considerations, and applicable governance artifacts.
• Coordinate the preparation of governance review materials, including impact assessments, solution overviews, model documentation, risk mitigation plans, quality plans, monitoring plans, and other responsible AI artifacts.
• Organize, schedule, and maintain documentation for AI governance meetings, including agendas, presentation materials, minutes, decisions, conditions of approval, action items, and follow-up requests.
• Maintain a centralized record of governance decisions, conditions, limitations, remediation items, monitoring requirements, and escalation triggers to support defensible and auditable AI governance.
