• Lead and facilitate the Responsible AI Advisory Board, working closely with teams across Legal, Compliance, Privacy, IT, Security, Procurement and Risk
• Evaluate and help implement governance tools and systems that embed governance into daily operations, moving from manual processes and documentation towards scalable, system-supported ways of working
• Establish governance requirements across the AI lifecycle, including data, vendor, security and risk considerations, while ensuring alignment with existing enterprise governance practices
• Provide guidance and influence stakeholders across business units to drive consistent adoption of Responsible AI principles, governance standards and regulatory expectations
• Monitor governance maturity, support continuous improvement initiatives, and help shape how Aker Solutions governs emerging AI technologies, including agentic AI solutions

We think you should have:

• Proven experience designing, implementing or operationalising governance frameworks, operating models, controls or enterprise-wide processes that drive business adoption
• An interest in AI governance and Responsible AI, combined with an understanding of how governance, risk and compliance considerations apply to AI-enabled solutions

• Strong stakeholder management skills with the ability to influence and collaborate across technical, business and corporate functions without direct authority
• Experience evaluating, implementing or improving governance processes, platforms or systems, with a pragmatic focus on turning frameworks into day-to-day operations
• Fluent written and spoken English, with the ability to communicate complex ideas clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders
