Job Description

We are seeking an experienced AI technology risk manager to support the build and execution of our Corporate Functions Risk (CFR) Artificial Intelligence (AI) Risk Program. This role will serve as a key contributor in establishing governance across the asset lifecycle to enable safe, compliant, and scalable adoption of AI across the enterprise.

The individual will act as a central point of coordination for AI use case onboarding and production governance, partnering closely with Corporate Functions, Technology, Risk Management and Compliance, Law Division, and Data teams to ensure alignment with policy requirements, regulatory expectations, and enterprise risk frameworks.

The role partners closely with Second Line of Defense (2

LOD) teams (Enterprise Risk Management, Model Risk Management, Compliance, Law Division, and Technology Risk Oversight) to ensure emerging AI technology risks are properly identified, assessed, documented, monitored, escalated, and remediated. While 2

LOD provides independent oversight and challenge, this role retains business line accountability for execution, evidence, and remediation.

* Translate AI Technology Policy requirements into practical intake standards, guidance, and job aids for business stakeholders
