• Own GxP AI validation strategy and audit readiness across all regulated environments
• Lead AI regulatory intelligence e.g. FDA, EMA, EU AI Actand emerging global frameworks, coordinated with Legal and business units to get ahead of compliance obligations
• Partner at the executive level with Legal, Compliance, Regulatory Affairs, and CISO on regulatory interpretation, risk posture, and technical standards

This role might be for you if you:

• Have led AI governance or technical risk functions in a complex, regulated industry and built the teams that execute them
• Bring technical depth to set strategy and leadership range to hire and hold accountable the experts who implement it
• Understand the distinct risk profiles of predictive, generative, and agentic systems and have governed them in production
• Have driven GxP AI validation strategy in a life sciences or biopharma setting
• Stay ahead of FDA AI/ML guidance, EU AI Act, and emerging frameworks - and convert them into enterprise action
• Operate with credibility at the engineering level and the board level
• See AI governance as a strategic capability that accelerates the business - and build it that way

• A Bachelor's degree in a related field (advanced degree required for certain scientific or clinical positions)
• 17+ years of experience in AI governance, risk management, regulatory affairs, or compliance
