• Stakeholder Coordination: Serve as a central point of coordination for business requestors and members of the governance team. Provide clear and timely process communications and status updates.
• Documentation & Reporting: Maintain accurate, organized, and audit-ready governance records, procedures, templates, and supporting documentation. Prepare recurring status updates and operational reporting for the team and leadership.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree preferred.
• Approximately 3–6 years of relevant experience in governance operations, risk or compliance operations, program operations, or a related field.
• Experience supporting governance or risk assessment workflows, or other cross-functional governance operations.
• Strong organizational skills with the ability to manage multiple requests, deadlines, and stakeholders simultaneously.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with strong attention to detail.
• Sound judgment and the ability to recognize when an issue requires escalation or a substantive risk or leadership decision.
• Experience in financial services, insurance, or AI risk governance is a plus.

Success in this Role

• This role is well suited for someone who enjoys bringing structure and discipline to complex processes.
• The successful candidate will be proactive, responsive, comfortable working with multiple stakeholders, and able to keep workflows moving without losing sight of details.
• You do not need to be an AI technical expert. We are looking for someone with strong organizational and communication skills, sound judgment, and the ability to manage workflows with precision, timeliness, and ownership.
• The successful candidate will be detail-oriented, responsive, and comfortable coordinating across a cross-functional environment.
