Job Description

The AI and Emerging Technologies Risk Manager will serve as a central point of coordination for AI use case intake, onboarding, governance, and AI oversight. The role will provide consultative guidance to business partners, perform intake quality control, coordinate with appropriate risk and control partners, and support governance throughout the asset lifecycle for AI use cases.

• Drive execution of policy and procedural requirements, including required registry records, monitoring plans, testing evidence, and governance documentation
• Promote a strong risk culture by proactively identifying governance gaps, including unregistered or unauthorized AI activities, and driving remediation to maintain compliance and operational integrity
• Lead the identification, assessment, escalation, and remediation of AI and emerging technology risks, control deficiencies, risk acceptances, and corrective action plans (i.e. issue management)
• Apply knowledge of WCIB’s AI enablement strategy to align risk governance with business priorities, strategic initiatives, and growth objectives
• Lead complex and ambiguous risk topics, influence senior stakeholders, and communicate decisions, risks, and escalations in an executive-ready manner
