Governance, Risk & Assurance Lead

The Opportunity

Dawgen Global is seeking a Governance, Risk & Assurance Lead to make sure AI is implemented with clear accountability, working controls, reliable evidence and readiness for assurance.

Within the Forward-Deployed AI Transformation Group you will own AI governance, control design, compliance, evidence and assurance readiness — turning governance principles into controls that operate in day-to-day work.

What You Will Do

Govern

• Conduct AI governance maturity assessments and classify AI use cases by risk.
• Design AI governance frameworks, policies, roles and governance RACI structures.
• Assess human-oversight requirements; define AI-agent decision rights and escalation thresholds.

Control

• Design and test controls; maintain risk and control registers.
• Evaluate third-party AI risk, and privacy, compliance and regulatory considerations.
• Define evidence, documentation and audit-trail requirements.

Assure and report

• Evaluate assurance readiness and coordinate independent validation of controls before higher-risk scaling.
• Support management and board reporting.
• Contribute to TRUST360™ AI Governance-as-a-Service and AI Content Assurance & Provenance Review engagements.

What You Bring

Essential

• 6+ years in internal or external audit, technology risk, IT audit, risk advisory, regulatory compliance, cybersecurity assurance, governance or responsible AI.
• Strong grasp of risk and control frameworks and experience evaluating technology controls.
• Strong documentation and evidence-assessment skills, with sound professional judgement and scepticism.
• Understanding of AI governance principles, privacy and data governance.
• Clear written and executive communication.

Advantageous

• CIA, CISA, CRISC, CISM, CPA, CA, ACCA or a comparable qualification. Strong practical capability may substitute for a specific certification.

What Success Looks Like

Improvement in governance maturity; control pass rates; risk-classification coverage; closure of high-risk exceptions; evidence quality; assurance readiness; and board-quality reporting.
