AI Governance SME / Architect

Galent
York, NY Full Time
POSTED ON 6/17/2026
AVAILABLE BEFORE 7/15/2026

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)
