AI Governance & Evaluation

Work closely with Risk, Compliance, Legal, Data and business stakeholders to shape governance standards and ensure their adoption, and represent the AI CoE in relevant audits, regulatory engagements and governance forums to uphold trust and alignment.\nRisk Management\nIdentify, classify and mitigate AI risks. Proactively assess key AI-related risks (e.g., bias, privacy, security breaches, model drift) and enforce robust controls, including a risk-tier classification (L1/L2/L3), so that each AI solution remains within the Bank's risk appetite and aligned with the Risk Management Framework.\nReview and challenge AI use cases at design and pre-deployment stages, ensuring all material risks are mitigated or explicitly accepted with appropriate guardrails (e.g., human oversight, usage constraints) and escalating issues as needed before approval.\nEnsure regulatory compliance & audit readiness. Integrate evolving AI regulations and responsible AI guidelines into governance processes and maintain comprehensive documentation (e.g., model inventory, approvals, performance logs) to demonstrate compliance and support internal audits and regulatory reviews.\nGovernance\nOwn and enforce AI governance policies and standards.

Develop, maintain, and enforce the AI governance framework (policies, standards, templates, checklists) covering AI model development, testing, deployment, documentation, and monitoring, with clear accountability assigned for compliance at each stage.\nOversight reporting & communication. Provide regular status updates to senior management and risk committees on AI governance - including compliance metrics, key issues, incidents, and remediation actions - to ensure transparency and informed oversight.\nSMCR and accountability. Meet Senior Manager & Certification Regime (SMCR) obligations by exercising robust oversight, due diligence and accountability, acting as the first line of defense for AI governance and a key partner to second-line functions to ensure no gaps in control.\nKey Deliverables\nAI Governance & Evaluation Framework\nAI Lifecycle Governance Standards\nRisk-Tier Classification Model\nReusable AI Architecture Patterns & Design Standards\nAI Evaluation & Testing Framework\nDesign Review & Approval Mechanism\nAI Governance Artefact Library\nAI Inventory / Use Case Register\nMonitoring, Evidence & Continuous Improvement Loop\nGovernance Reporting & Stakeholder Enablement\nSkills and Experience Strong understanding of:\n• LLMs, RAG, agentic workflows\n• AI system design & architecture\nExperience in:\n• AI/ML solution delivery\n• Risk, compliance, or governance\nframeworks\n\nAbility to balance:\n• Innovation vs control\n\nExposure to:\n• Responsible AI frameworks\n• Cloud AI platforms (Azure/OpenAI, etc.)\n\nExperience in:\n• Defining enterprise standards\n\nCross-functional leadership\nAbout Standard Chartered We're an international bank, nimble enough to act, big enough for impact.
