Job description

At Rocket India, we believe the future of homeownership is being built right now — and AI is at the heart of that transformation. But with great innovation comes great responsibility. We're looking for a Program Manager, AI Governance who will be the driving force behind ensuring our AI systems are built, deployed, and scaled the right way — responsibly, transparently, and in lockstep with the frameworks that keep us ahead of the curve — If you thrive at the intersection of technology, risk, and cross-functional leadership, this is your launchpad.

About the Role

• Own the end-to-end program plan for AI governance initiatives, including milestones, dependencies, risk tracking, and executive-level status reporting
• Serve as the central coordination hub across legal, security, engineering, data science, procurement, and compliance teams working on AI risk management, model evaluation, and policy implementation
• Track and drive progress against governance frameworks such as the NIST AI Risk Management Framework (AI RMF), mapping deliverables to its core functions — Govern, Map, Measure, and Manage
• Maintain a working knowledge of major LLM providers and platforms (e.g., Anthropic/Claude, OpenAI, and others) to understand technical constraints, model behavior, and vendor-specific governance or safety documentation
• Facilitate governance oversight processes including review boards, risk assessments, and sign-offs — ensuring every decision is documented, traceable, and defensible
• Identify gaps, blockers, and cross-team risks early and relentlessly drive resolution before they become roadblocks
• Translate complex technical and regulatory concepts into clear, actionable updates for both engineering teams and executive stakeholders
• Support the development of internal policies, documentation, and audit-readiness materials related to responsible AI use across the organization

About You

Minimum Qualifications

• Proven program or project management experience, ideally in a regulated, technical, or compliance-driven environment
• Working familiarity with AI governance concepts and frameworks (e.g., NIST AI RMF or similar risk and compliance models) — deep technical AI expertise is not required, but a genuine comfort with learning and discussing LLM concepts is essential
• General awareness of the current AI vendor landscape (Anthropic, OpenAI, etc.) and how enterprise AI tools are typically evaluated and governed
• Strong stakeholder management skills with a demonstrated ability to align diverse teams — both technical and non-technical — around shared timelines and goals
• Excellent organizational, communication, and documentation skills that bring clarity to complexity
• Comfort operating with ambiguity in a fast-evolving regulatory and technical space, with the ability to create structure where none exists

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with AI/ML product development lifecycles and the unique governance challenges they present
• Background in risk management, compliance, legal, or audit functions
• Familiarity with model cards, system cards, or AI safety documentation and how they support transparency and accountability in AI deployment
