  • Stay current with emerging AI technologies and evaluate their applicability to data quality risk governance needs.
  • Work with compliance and risk management teams to ensure AI solutions meet regulatory and governance requirements.

Risk Analytics & Emerging Risk Detection

  • Lead the analysis of large, complex datasets to identify emerging risks, systemic trends, control weaknesses, and root causes.
  • Develop frameworks that leverage AI-generated insights to support proactive risk management and decision-making.
  • Translate analytical findings into actionable recommendations that improve control effectiveness and risk mitigation.
  • Create methodologies for detecting recurring patterns across issues, defects, incidents, controls, and other risk-related data sources.
  • Maintain expertise in current and emerging risk trends and integrate those insights into analytical solutions.

Visualization & Business Intelligence

  • Design and develop executive dashboards, scorecards, visual analytics, and drill-through reporting capabilities.
  • Create interactive visualizations that enable leaders to investigate trends, concentrations, impacts, and emerging risk indicators.
  • Build scalable reporting solutions that provide transparency into risk exposure, issue management performance, and remediation effectiveness.
  • Define key risk indicators (KRIs), metrics, and thresholds to support proactive monitoring.
  • Present complex analytical concepts through clear, actionable, and executive-ready storytelling.

Strategic Leadership & Stakeholder Management

  • Lead complex, cross-functional initiatives involving Risk, Data Management, Technology, Compliance, Audit, and Business partners.
  • Act as a trusted advisor to senior leaders on AI-enabled risk analytics strategies and opportunities.
  • Communicate analytical findings, recommendations, and emerging risks to executive audiences.
  • Influence strategic decisions regarding AI adoption, risk monitoring capabilities, and analytical maturity.

  • Experience implementing cloud-native AI solutions using Azure, AWS, or Google Cloud platforms, including enterprise AI services and APIs.
  • Hands-on experience designing and implementing Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) solutions utilizing vector databases, semantic search, and knowledge retrieval architectures.
  • Experience developing and deploying APIs, microservices, and containerized applications using technologies such as FastAPI, Docker, Kubernetes, and CI/CD pipelines.
  • Knowledge of AI/LLMOps practices including model evaluation, prompt optimization, version control, observability, performance monitoring, and governance controls.
