The Opportunity We are currently supporting a major organisation undertaking a large-scale internal AI transformation program and require two experienced risk professionals to join on contract.

• Develop and embed best practice assurance and governance processes
• Partner with senior stakeholders across the business to support program delivery

• A track record of building or uplifting frameworks, ideally in complex organisations
• The ability to operate effectively in ambiguous, evolving environments
• An interest in, or exposure to, AI or emerging technology risk
