Job description

We are seeking an AI Quality Assurance Lead to play a pivotal role in shaping how our Conversational AI interacts with customers. This role will ensure that our AI systems are accurate, compliant, fair, and aligned with FCA principles and our internal quality standards.

As we expand the scope of AI across our customer journey’s, you will act as the custodian of AI quality and safety, building the assurance processes that protect customers, satisfy regulators, and support our teams.

What you can expect to be doing:

• Quality Oversight

  • Conduct QA reviews of AI interactions, treating AI as a “virtual agent.”

  • Oversee automated scoring systems that assess accuracy, tone, empathy, and escalation behaviour.

  • Monitor dashboards and predictive QA tools to identify potential risks or failures in real time.

  • Lead calibration sessions to align human QA results with automated scoring outputs.

  • Drive continuous improvement through customer feedback analysis, complaint tracking, and performance reporting.

• Risk & Compliance

  • Ensure AI interactions comply with FCA Principles, Consumer Duty, and complaints handling rules.

  • Monitor guardrails that ensure AI operates within its agreed principles.

  • Embed fairness and bias testing into QA processes.

  • Provide assurance to senior accountable managers and support regulatory reporting.

• Governance & Reporting

  • Deliver monthly AI quality and risk reporting to a Model Governance Committee.

  • Ensure all AI QA processes are auditable, transparent, and regulator-ready.

  • Act as the key point of contact for Risk & Compliance, Product and Engineering in relation to AI oversight.

• Collaboration

  • Work closely with Engineering, Product, Customer Support, and Content teams to maintain quality inputs into the AI.

  • Partner with Risk & Compliance to ensure 2nd line oversight is robust and effective.

  • Engage with senior leadership to provide insights on AI performance and future improvements.

What we’re looking for:

• Proven experience in Quality Assurance or Risk/Compliance oversight, ideally in financial services.
• Essential to have knowledge of FCA regulatory expectations, including Consumer Duty and Principles for Businesses.
• Familiarity with AI concepts (e.g. model drift, hallucination, bias, explainability).
• Strong analytical skills with the ability to interpret data and identify actionable insights.
• Excellent communication skills, able to bridge operational, technical, and compliance stakeholders.
• Comfortable working in a fast‑paced environment with emerging technology and regulatory scrutiny.

What we’re really looking for:

Someone with a genuine interest in Chip and is excited about being part of a fast‑growing company and our mission to build the investment super app of the future.

Although we’re in the financial space, and under the scrutiny that comes with it, the current customer support team works well together, and even sometimes with a smile. We’re sure you’ve got the technical skills, otherwise, you would have stopped reading by now, so let us be clear on what will make us want to work with you.

We want a real person, with interests outside of work, to join our team. You could be a dancer, a gamer, a musician, a parent, a hockey fan, or even that one person that still writes Twilight fan‑fiction. Doesn’t matter to us.

At the interview stages, we will be looking for empathy, EQ, fun stories, and the ability to smile even when things are tough.
