• Experimentation & best practices: Suggest experiments, define standards, and build/run risk reduction tools that help teams meet RAI standards.
• Tooling & automation: Work with engineering teams to create tools for areas of high risk (e.g. model explainability, bias detection).
• Stakeholder collaboration: Partner with project teams and business units to ensure corrective actions are implemented.
• Process development: Help establish the RAI intake process and contribute to setting up the risk assessment framework as a product capability.
• Training & guidance: Support teams in adopting RAI principles and practices.

Minimum Requirements

• Experience building or using risk assessment frameworks for AI/ML.
• Strong understanding of RAI, MLOps, and Data Science fundamentals.
• Excellent collaboration, communication, and project management skills.

Nice to Have
