What are the responsibilities and job description for the AI Governance SME / Architect position at Galent?
Position: Senior Enterprise AI Architect / AI Governance Architect
Location: NY/NJ
Duration: Full Time
The Role:
- We are building a new solution category within AI Governance to accelerate the adoption of enterprise AI, and this role owns it – from first principles to first clients.
- You will take a strategic insight, structure it into a solution, prototype it, and commercialize it with clients. It sits at the intersection of AI model behavior, operational risk, and enterprise-grade workflows.
- You think in frameworks. You have commercial instincts. You're a builder who can sell. You understand that being early to a problem is an advantage and you know how to use it.
What You Bring:
Required:
- Prior experience in building Agentic AI systems and AI governance frameworks
- Operational fluency in how AI models behave in production (failure modes, degradation
- patterns, oversight gaps)
- Ability to translate a diagnostic finding into a remediation roadmap a builder can act on
- Track record of taking ambiguous problems from whiteboard to client-ready artifact
What You'll Do:
- Translate a business problem or hypothesis into a structured, client-ready solution
- Own the intellectual core: methodology, scoring logic, domain-specific test libraries
- Run discovery with quants, risk officers, AI engineers, and COOs
- Introduce the offering into active client conversations alongside the sales team and convert audit
- engagements into follow-on remediation work
- Be the external voice: conferences, practitioner forums, written point of view
- Build the operating model, delivery methodology, and team as the capability scales
Preferred:
10 years of relevant experience in BFSI in a delivery or advisory capacity (or both)
Direct experience with agentic AI systems: how they are architected and where they break
Prior exposure to model risk management or AI governance in a regulated environment
Experience in defining the risk assessment frameworks to assess AI / GenAI solutions
Experience in defining Policy and governance documents to manage GenAI / AI risks
Nice to have:
Experience in implementing regulatory frameworks (e.g.., EU AI Act, NIST AI RMF, ISO 42001)
