We look forward to collaborating to help you achieve your career goals.

POSITION SUMMARY

Our client is building out a dedicated AI team and is looking for an AI Governance Engineer to help put practical guardrails around AI adoption across the business. This is a hands-on role focused on implementing controls within the Microsoft AI ecosystem, with a strong emphasis on enabling innovation rather than slowing it down. It's a great fit for someone technically curious and self-directed who enjoys working in a fast-moving space.

This is a remote-friendly role, with Denver-area candidates preferred. Candidates must be authorized to work in the United States without current or future visa sponsorship.

RESPONSIBILITIES

• Close governance gaps across Microsoft 365 Copilot, Copilot Studio, and related tools, including agent controls, access, and data protection.
• Configure and operationalize Microsoft Purview, DLP, sensitivity labeling, and Agent 365 controls.
• Apply tiered governance: light-touch controls for self-service AI and more rigorous protocols for enterprise-grade agents.
• Bring existing, organically built agents into alignment with standards through practical remediation rather than rebuilds.
• Build intake, risk classification, approval, and monitoring processes, along with reporting on adoption, compliance, usage, and credit consumption.
• Partner with Security, Architecture, Engineering, and business teams to implement controls and address unsanctioned AI tool usage.
• Track changes across the Microsoft AI platform and recommend improvements as capabilities evolve.

MINIMUM EXPERIENCE

• 3+ years in technology governance, GRC, IT security, data governance, or Microsoft 365 administration, with hands-on delivery in an enterprise environment. Personal or side projects alone are not sufficient.
• Hands-on experience governing or administering:
• Microsoft 365 Copilot and Copilot Studio.
• Power Platform governance, including environment strategy, DLP policies, and CoE practices.
• Microsoft Purview.
• Entra ID access controls as they apply to agents and connectors.
• Working knowledge of LLMs, AI agents, connector and data access risks, and responsible AI principles.
• Ability to work autonomously across distributed time zones.
• Strong communication skills, with the ability to explain governance requirements to technical and non-technical audiences.
• Bachelor's degree or equivalent professional experience.

ADDITIONAL PLUS

• Experience with Microsoft Agent 365, AI cost and consumption governance, or Power BI governance dashboards.
• Experience in an industry with a significant field or frontline workforce, such as construction, energy, utilities, or mining.
• Familiarity with Azure AI Foundry, Azure OpenAI, or ChatGPT Enterprise.
• Automation or low-code experience with Power Automate, Power Apps, or PowerShell.
• Exposure to NIST AI RMF, ISO/IEC 42001, or the EU AI Act.
• Relevant certifications, such as SC-401, MS-102, PL-600, AI-900, or IAPP AIGP.
