We're hiring an AI Governance Manager; You'll own the design and day-to-day operation of the AI governance framework that allows the business to scale AI/ML and generative AI use cases safely, ethically, and in line with regulatory expectations. This is the right role for someone who has translated governance strategy into practical controls before; someone comfortable sitting between technical teams, risk and compliance functions, and senior stakeholders, and who can hold both the policy detail and the executive narrative.
Responsibilities
- Design, implement, and continuously improve the organization's AI governance framework — policies, standards, and controls aligned to internal risk appetite and external regulatory expectations
- Translate governance strategy into practical, day-to-day operating procedures across the full AI/ML and generative AI lifecycle
- Facilitate governance forums, review boards, and approval gates for new AI/ML and agentic use cases, including credible challenge on scope and risk classification
- Partner with Legal, Compliance, Data Protection, Model Risk, and Information Security to embed responsible‑AI, privacy‑by‑design, and regulatory requirements into products from the outset
- Maintain the AI/ML use‑case inventory and risk register, classify systems by risk tier, and track remediation of governance gaps
- Monitor emerging AI regulation and supervisory guidance, and translate it into internal policy and control updates
- Design and deliver AI governance training and AI‑literacy programs to raise awareness across business and technical teams
- Support internal and external audits, regulatory examinations, and governance reporting to senior management
Experience
- 6+ years in governance, risk, compliance, or data/AI-related roles, with meaningful time spent specifically on AI or data governance
- Track record designing or operating governance frameworks inside a large, complex, regulated organization (financial services, healthcare, or public sector a plus)
- Experience running governance committees or forums and engaging senior and executive stakeholders
- Familiarity with AI risk classification and lifecycle governance across proof‑of‑concept through production
Technical fluency
- Working knowledge of AI/ML and LLM system fundamentals, sufficient to assess risk — not necessarily to build
- Familiarity with responsible‑AI frameworks (e.g. NIST AI RMF, ISO/IEC 42001) and applicable AI regulation, and how they map to internal controls
- Understanding of model risk management principles — independent validation, monitoring, and documentation expectations
- Exposure to data governance and privacy tooling (data lineage, access management, Microsoft Purview or equivalent)
- Comfortable working with GRC/workflow tooling and Power BI/Excel for governance reporting
- Basic familiarity with the modern AI stack on Microsoft Azure (Azure OpenAI, Azure AI Foundry, Azure Machine Learning), enough to engage credibly with engineering teams
Ways of working
- Strong stakeholder management and executive communication
- Comfortable operating at the intersection of technical, risk, and business teams
- Structured and detail‑oriented, with the confidence to hold a line under ambiguity or pushback
- Experience working within agile/committee-based governance operating rhythms
Qualifications
- University degree in law, risk management, business, computer science, or a related field (advanced degree or AI governance certification, e.g. AIGP, a plus)
- Fluent English and French
- Eligibility to work in Switzerland
