- Taking a long‑term view on emerging risks, regulatory shifts, and industry trends, and helping evolve the organisation’s AI assurance approach.
- Anticipating future data and analytical capabilities needed as products and regulations mature.
- Establishing principles for interpreting results, handling uncertainty, and communicating limitations clearly and responsibly.
- Supporting high‑stakes stakeholder conversations with technical authority and contextual insight.
- Contributing to documentation, external‑facing explanations, and thought leadership content to build credibility and trust.
What we’re looking for:
- 5+ years of senior‑level experience
- Expertise in either Responsible AI, Psychology or HR Analytics
- Comfort working with ambiguity and open‑ended analytical problems
- A rigorous, evidence‑driven mindset with a focus on defensibility and clarity
