You will pioneer our AI governance strategy, designing and executing a forward-looking vision for AI risk management that enables our commercial ambitions. Acting as the Group's leading advocate for safe AI, you will develop and implement practical frameworks, policies, and tools that are seen as enablers, not obstacles.
