* Set standards and best practices for responsible AI in compliance (guardrails, validation, performance monitoring, documentation) in partnership with governance bodies.

* Champion data quality improvements and source-system enhancements to strengthen KRIs, control efficacy metrics, and surveillance coverage.

* Orchestrate cross-functional incident reviews using analytics to accelerate root cause analysis, inform corrective actions, and prevent recurrence.

* Represent the function in audits, regulatory exams, and senior forums-articulating methodologies, controls, and evidentiary support with confidence and clarity.

* Align with BNY's strategic pillars and principles-be client-obsessed, spark progress, own outcomes, stay curious, and thrive together.
