AI Governance Trainer

About the project

Neurons Lab is an FSI-focused AI consultancy delivering agentic AI for banks, insurers, and asset/wealth managers across EU, UK, and APAC.

The EU AI Act is now partially in force:
Article 50 transparency obligations (AI disclosure, machine-readable content marking) apply since August 2026, while high-risk obligations were deferred by the Digital Omnibus to December 2027 — creating a readiness-programme window for our clients rather than a panic-compliance one.

First assignment — international bank, EMEA division (London, from September 2026).

A 6-session (1–1.5h each) in-person training programme for the bank’s AI Governance Committee: cross‑functional, non‑technical reviewers (data privacy, legal, HR, cybersecurity, AI product, infosec) who assess AI use‑case risk.

Curriculum: AI fundamentals → regulatory risks (EU AI Act, GDPR, Art 50 transparency) → cybersecurity risks → bias/fairness and performance → risk identification and controls, with hands‑on exercises using the client’s own risk assessment forms.

The programme also includes redesigning their risk assessment workflow into simplified, team‑specific forms. Delivery follows a specialist‑coaches model: you anchor the regulatory/governance and controls modules, paired with a technical trainer for fundamentals and security sessions.

Beyond the first assignment, the role operates across both Neurons Lab revenue motions: governance trainer inside AI Adoption Programs (executive workshops for boards and C‑level at FSI firms), and compliance advisor to engineering delivery on high‑risk use cases in our pipeline — credit scoring, underwriting, claims (Annex III categories). You will also help standardize our AI Act handover pack (self‑assessment + system card, first produced for a German credit bureau client) into a default billable deliverable.

This is a Talent Network engagement, not a full‑time position. You work as a freelance contractor at ~0.2–0.4 FTE per project, with possible gaps between projects, and you’re free to hold other commitments alongside Neurons Lab.

Deliver the first client governance training programme to a 90%+ satisfaction standard, then make AI governance a productized capability: standard workshop module in every AI Adoption Program, standard documentation pack on every AI build, and credible regulatory positioning that helps close high‑risk FSI engineering deals.

• CSI ≥ 90% on client sessions and subsequent governance workshops

• Client risk‑assessment workflow redesign accepted (simplified team‑specific forms in use)

• AI Act documentation pack delivered as standard on 100% of in‑scope AI builds

• Retrospective Art 50 review completed across active/recent client systems, with ≥ 2 resulting expansion conversations opened

• Deliver executive AI governance sessions (in‑person London for the first assignment; 2–4h formats elsewhere) — AI Act obligations and timeline, UK divergence, sector‑specific FSI requirements, Article 4 AI literacy duty

• Design and facilitate hands‑on risk‑identification exercises using the client’s own risk assessment artifacts; redesign review workflows and forms where in scope

• Determine per‑project role classification (provider vs. deployer vs. contractor/integrator) and risk categorization; define the resulting engineering requirements (disclosure, marking, logging, human oversight) with delivery teams

• Standardize and own the reusable governance asset library (self‑assessment, system card, information annex); support Legal on contract template updates

• Track regulatory developments (implementing acts, harmonized standards, EBA/EIOPA/FCA guidance) and support pre‑sales on governance‑led opportunities

• Expert command of the EU AI Act including Digital…
