Design and implement frameworks for Model and AI Governance to ensure algorithmic fairness, transparency, explainability, and the active monitoring/mitigation of model drift and bias.
Act as a critical liaison with Compliance, Legal, and Information Security teams to manage data and AI risks, ensuring adherence to global data privacy laws (e.g., GDPR, CCPA) and emerging AI regulations/frameworks (e.g., EU AI Act, NIST AI RMF).
Roll out and integrate governance processes with enterprise workflows, including MLOps, DataOps, PMO, and agile software development life cycles.
Establish robust change management processes to ensure foundational data dictionaries, AI inventories, and model components are kept up to date.
Support Data and AI Stewards across various business units in the practical implementation and scaling of governance capabilities.
Continuously incorporate emerging best practices and developments from the modern data management, machine learning, and AI industries to drive innovation and business value generation.
