You will not be running the AI use cases yourself. You will be the person who makes sure they are governed properly, from data quality through to responsible AI oversight.
The Role
- Develop and operationalise enterprise data and AI governance frameworks, policies, standards and controls
- Lead data quality, metadata, lineage, ownership and stewardship initiatives across business domains
- Govern AI and advanced analytics across the full lifecycle, including use case assessment, testing, human oversight, monitoring and incident management
- Partner closely with technical delivery teams, the AI function and enterprise Risk and Compliance
- Prepare governance reporting and evidence for senior forums, assurance providers, auditors or regulators
- Work closely alongside the AI Delivery Lead to keep data and AI initiatives aligned and well governed
Must haves:
- 7+ years' experience in data governance, information governance, AI governance, privacy, risk, compliance, data management or a related discipline
- Demonstrated experience developing and operationalising enterprise governance frameworks, policies, standards and controls
- Practical experience leading data quality, metadata, lineage, ownership, stewardship or data access initiatives
- Experience governing AI or advanced analytics across the lifecycle, including testing, human oversight, monitoring and incident management
- Experience partnering with technical delivery teams and Risk or Compliance functions
- Experience preparing governance reporting for senior forums, auditors or regulators
- Experience in insurance, financial services or another regulated, operationally complex environment (strongly preferred)
- Data governance, privacy, risk, assurance or responsible AI certifications
This organisation is NZ owned, ambitious and moving quickly, with the governance in place to back it up. The AI team is genuinely well credentialed, with people drawn from Microsoft, the banks and Spark, and it is growing fast, which means this role has real influence over how that growth happens. You will get real investment in your own development too, including relevant certifications, Snowflake training and access to a dedicated leadership programme for people managing direct reports. Auckland based, with a hybrid working pattern.
