• Support AI governance processes, including privacy, datahandling assessments, and policy compliance.

• Assist with documentation for compliance reviews, risk registers, and AI policy adherence.

Pilot Coordination & Vendor Interaction

• Coordinate proofofconcept (POC) activities with vendors and internal stakeholders.

• Create POC documentation including scope, success criteria, user testing results, and ROI analysis.

• Provide ongoing updates to IT leadership, the AI Champions, and business units.

CrossFunctional Collaboration

• Work with the AI Governance Committee, Cybersecurity, IT, and business units to gather requirements and evaluate use cases.

• Serve as a technical resource during intake, review, and approval processes for AI tool requests.

  • Cloud/SaaS security concepts

AI & Data Literacy

• Working understanding of large language models (LLMs), embeddings, RAG pipelines, and AI agent concepts (training not required, but literacy is expected)

Soft Skills

• Strong analytical mindset and problemsolving capability

• Excellent written documentation skills for both technical and executive audiences
