This position is based in Ireland, preferably in either Dublin or Cork. You may be required to be onsite on an as‑needed basis. We are only considering candidates currently in Ireland; we are not offering relocation assistance at this time.

• Preparing risk dashboards and reports for executive‑level steering committees and other governance forums.

About You

• Ideal candidates will have a minimum of 3 years of experience in the same field.
• In‑depth knowledge of risk management frameworks, such as NIST Risk Management Framework (RMF), NIST CSF and ISO/IEC 27005. Able to apply these frameworks to real‑world scenarios, including risk identification, assessment, and mitigation.
• Experience implementing AI risk management practices, such as assessing risks associated with AI/ML models, data privacy, model bias, and adversarial threats. Familiarity with emerging standards and guidelines for AI risk, including the NIST AI RMF and EU AI Act.
• Strong analytical and reporting skills, including experience with risk metrics and dashboards.
• Strong interpersonal and communication skills, with the ability to collaborate effectively with stakeholders at all levels of the organization to drive security initiatives and remediation efforts.
