AI, Data Platforms & Responsible AI Governance Lead - R-07B
Requisition: R-07B
Opportunity: 26-0015 / 1131PL26R0058
Location Anchor: Washington, DC 20001
Work mode: Fully remote / U.S.-based
Travel: Europe/Eurasia as assigned
Engagement: Contingent expert
Role purpose
Lead feasibility and project-scoping analysis for public-sector AI, data platforms, analytics, and responsible-AI governance within Europe/Eurasia digital-infrastructure opportunities. Translate policy goals and incomplete data environments into implementable use cases, architectures, governance controls, procurement requirements, budgets, schedules, and measurable outcomes.
Representative assignment problems
• Assess data availability, quality, ownership, interoperability, privacy, residency, security, institutional capacity, and public acceptance.
• Define AI/data-platform alternatives across cloud, data-center, edge, and connectivity environments.
• Evaluate model purpose, training and inference data, human oversight, explainability, bias, safety, cybersecurity, vendor lock-in, lifecycle cost, and operating capacity.
• Develop phased roadmaps, pilots, TOR/SOW requirements, budgets, schedules, acceptance tests, and responsible-AI controls.
• Support digital-government, critical-infrastructure, service-delivery, urban/municipal, geospatial, or cross-border data use cases when assigned.
Responsibilities
• Own AI/data analysis modules and integrate them with cybersecurity, data-center, connectivity, finance, regulatory, and regional work.
• Produce evidence-traceable inputs for Preliminary Assessments, Project Reports, TORs, independent budgets, schedules, and the cumulative Final Report.
• Distinguish proven use cases from speculative vendor claims and document limitations, dependencies, and recovery paths.
• Define data/model governance, monitoring, incident, human-approval, and independent-review requirements.
• Participate in remote analysis, stakeholder discovery, quality review, and international travel when assigned.
• Protect sensitive information and disclose actual, potential, or apparent conflicts.
Minimum evidence-based qualifications
• 10+ years of relevant data-platform, AI/ML, analytics, digital-government, or technology-governance experience, with dated named projects; the résumé must separately show the duration of direct AI work.
• Direct responsibility for AI/data feasibility, architecture, governance, deployment roadmap, procurement/TOR/SOW, or implementation decisions—not only software development or tool use.
• Evidence addressing data quality, privacy, interoperability, model risk, cybersecurity, human oversight, adoption, and measurable outcomes.
• Public-sector, regulated-infrastructure, international-development, or Europe/Eurasia experience strongly preferred.
• U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident; Axyde will request written confirmation but not identity documents during recruiting.
• Strong written English, independent technical judgment, contingent availability, and international-travel ability.
Evidence to submit
• Current résumé with month/year dates and exact project responsibilities.
• Short project list naming client, country, period, data/AI use case, architecture or governance product, and outcome.
• One nonproprietary example of an AI/data options analysis, roadmap, governance framework, procurement package, or TOR.
• Current city/state, hourly-rate expectation, availability, travel status, and employment/country/customer/conflict restrictions.
Application questions
1. Identify three relevant data/AI projects and state the years of direct AI work separately from general IT tenure.
2. Describe one public-sector or regulated-infrastructure use case and the decision product you led.
3. Explain how you addressed data quality, privacy/residency, cybersecurity, bias/model risk, human oversight, and vendor lock-in.
4. Describe one roadmap, procurement package, TOR/SOW, pilot design, or acceptance framework you produced.
5. Identify Europe/Eurasia countries/languages and international-development experience.
6. Are you a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident? Answer only yes/no/category; do not upload identity documents.
7. Confirm availability, travel ability, conflicts/restrictions, employer approvals, and rate expectation.
