Job Description:

Role Overview

Abacus is seeking a Senior Data & AI Strategy & Governance Lead to help shape and mature our Data & AI practice across LATAM.

This is a strategic leadership role focused on AI governance, risk management, and enterprise advisory, rather than hands‑on model development. The ideal candidate will drive AI maturity, establish responsible AI frameworks, and serve as a trusted advisor to both internal teams and enterprise clients.

Key Responsibilities

• Define and elevate Data & AI best practices across engineering and consulting teams.
• Establish scalable governance models aligned with enterprise and regulatory expectations.
• Conduct AI capability assessments and produce maturity gap analyses.
• Guide internal teams toward modern, state‑of‑the‑art AI standards.

2. AI Governance & Responsible AI

• Lead development of Responsible AI frameworks and governance playbooks.
• Define policies for model security, privacy, compliance, and risk management.
• Design guardrails for agentic AI and emerging AI architectures.
• Ensure alignment with global standards for ethical AI deployment.

3. Executive Advisory & Pre-Sales Support

• Act as a senior advisor in executive client engagements.
• Support pre‑sales, architecture reviews, and transformation discussions.
• Present AI strategy and governance roadmaps to C‑suite stakeholders.
• Help articulate compelling enterprise AI value propositions.
• Mentor Data & AI engineers and architects.
• Uplift technical maturity across projects and engagements.
• Contribute to internal thought leadership and AI capability building.

Required Experience & Skills

• 8–10 years of experience in Data, AI, Analytics, Enterprise Architecture, or AI Strategy.
• Strong hands‑on understanding of AI governance, model risk management, and Responsible AI.
• Experience designing AI frameworks in regulated or enterprise environments.
• Executive communication and stakeholder management experience.
• Ability to translate complex AI concepts into business outcomes.
• Experience in consulting or large enterprise environments is highly preferred.

Preferred Qualifications

• Exposure to AI security, model validation, and compliance frameworks.
• Experience advising public sector or enterprise clients.
• Familiarity with global AI governance standards and regulatory trends.
• Cloud platform exposure (GCP, Azure, or AWS) is a plus.
