Experience with relevant AI security, risk and governance frameworks, such as NIST AI RMF, OWASP guidance for LLM applications, ISO/IEC 42001 or equivalent industry practices.
Familiarity with privacy, data protection, regulatory and compliance considerations relevant to AI adoption, including sensitive data handling, data classification, cross-border processing, third-party risk, transparency, accountability and audit evidence expectations.
Proven ability to influence without direct authority and facilitate risk-based trade-off decisions.
Ability to operate in ambiguous and fast-evolving technology areas, using horizon scanning and evidence-led analysis to shape pragmatic AI security direction.
Ability to establish a common language for AI security risk, translating complex technical, risk and control concepts into clear, actionable insights for business, privacy, risk and technology stakeholders
