What’s the Job?

Provide hands‑on leadership across AI security architecture, including prompt and data protection, shadow AI discovery, model security, monitoring, governance, and platform reuse. Design and implement controls to reduce risks such as prompt injection, sensitive information disclosure/data leakage, improper output handling, excessive agent autonomy, model and AI supply chain risk, and vector/embedding and retrieval‑related weaknesses. Partner with engineering teams to embed secure‑by‑design patterns into AI application development, deployment, and operations. Create guardrails for AI systems that process customers, employees, and regulated financial data. Architect and implement AI gateway controls that centralise security policy enforcement for model traffic, including prompt inspection, response filtering, PII/secret redaction, model access control, rate limiting/abuse prevention, audit logging, and evidence generation.

What’s Needed?

• Experience leading security initiatives for LLM‑powered applications, copilots, agentic systems, and AI‑assisted workflows.
• Hands‑on ability to design and implement security controls for prompt/data protection, output handling, and governance for AI systems.

• Proficiency in at least one modern scripting or programming language (e.g., Python, Go, or Node.js) for automation, tooling, and integrations.
• Ability to collaborate effectively across security architecture, engineering, operations, finance, procurement, risk, compliance, legal, privacy, business technology teams, vendors, and regional security leaders.

What’s in it for me?

• Opportunity to directly shape AI security architecture and guardrails for real‑world AI systems handling sensitive and regulated data.
• Hands‑on role where your decisions move from analysis to implementation, evidence, and sustainable operational adoption.
• Cross‑regional collaboration across AD, EMEA, APAC, and HO to strengthen security outcomes across the organisation.
• Clear accountability for reducing high‑impact AI risks, including prompt injection, data leakage, and model supply chain threats.
• Platform reuse and governance focus that helps teams adopt secure patterns consistently across AI applications.
