Role OverviewThe Director, Digital Governance is SCRI’s accountable owner for IT governance, including data, AI and agent governance, in a GxP clinical‑research environment — designing and operating the lifecycle controls that govern AI and autonomous agents powering the Agent Factory, in alignment with Enterprise Governance standards. The role also owns SCRI’s data governance framework and operates IT SOPs as inspection‑defensible controls, embedding governance directly into technology design, delivery, and operations.
This is a hands‑on, build‑and‑run leadership role, directly accountable for design and execution and ensuring governance is actionable, automated where possible, and measurable — providing real‑time visibility into AI accountability, data integrity, digital risk, and regulatory readiness through KPI‑driven dashboards and inspection‑ready controls.
- Operate IT SOPs as inspection‑defensible controls through ownership, SOP‑to‑control traceability, change‑impact governance, and effectiveness monitoring.
- Author, maintain, and operationalize IT SOPs and controlled documents to GxP, 21 CFR Part 11/Annex 11, and ALCOA+ expectations; ensure SCRI is audit‑and inspection‑ready on a continuous basis.
- Design, build, and operate SCRI’s AI and agent governance framework, aligned with Enterprise controls and suitable for a GxP clinical‑research environment.
- Define and operationalize lifecycle governance for AI and agentic systems: intended‑use definition, model and agent documentation (model cards), validation, monitoring of non‑deterministic behavior, and retirement/archival.
- Establish governance requirements including clinical‑expertise review for GxP AI, participant‑disclosure handling for AI used in clinical trials, and model‑archival protocols.
- Partner with the Responsible AI Board/Office and Quality to translate Responsible AI principles into inspection‑ready, executable controls for SCRI’s Agent Factory use cases.
- Own SCRI’s data governance framework — policies, standards, and controls for data quality, integrity, lineage, and compliance.
- Establish metadata, lineage, classification, and data‑quality standards, with access and lifecycle controls embedded in the platforms where data resides.
- Serve as the escalation point for data‑integrity risks affecting clinical, operational, or regulatory outcomes, ensuring they are surfaced, tracked, and remediated.
- Define, build, and operate KPI‑driven governance dashboards that give leadership a continuous, evidence‑based view of control health, risk, and remediation across data, AI, and agent governance.
- Identify gaps, drive corrective actions to closure, and report governance posture to executive leadership.
- Serve as SCRI’s hands‑on governance lead — directly accountable for design and execution, not oversight alone — building toward a future AI Governance Analyst as agent deployments scale.
- Communicate complex governance and risk topics clearly to executive leadership, regulators, and non‑technical stakeholders; influence outcomes across a matrixed organization without direct authority.
- Bachelor’s degree in Information Systems, Computer Science, Engineering, or related field.
