Who you are
You demonstrate technical fluency in AI/ML. You understand predictive modeling, NLP, computer vision, and generative AI, and you’ve worked across the production lifecycle assessing controls and evidence in regulated environments.
You securely navigate AI risk frameworks and regulation. You’re fluent with NIST AI RMF, ISO/IEC AI risk standards (e.g., 23894, 42001), and model risk expectations in financial services, and you translate them into pragmatic, auditable controls.
You uphold Trustworthy AI as a core principle. You apply data protection, fairness and bias mitigation, explainability, security-by-design, and third‑party risk practices to safeguard clients and the bank, and to support positive outcomes for society.
You communicate with clarity and influence across diverse stakeholders. You distill complex topics clearly for diverse audiences, build strong partnerships, and drive outcomes through stakeholder management and influence without formal authority.
You value professional accreditation and relevant education. You hold a degree in a relevant field (e.g., Data Science, Computer Science, Engineering, Statistics, Risk Management). Certifications such as IAPP AIGP, ISO/IEC 42001, ISO/IEC 23894, CertNexus CEET, IEEE CertifAIEd, or IAPP CIPT are assets.
