Translate complex concepts into practical guidelines that empower business teams and ensure compliance with GDPR, EU Data Act, and AI Act.
Embed AI governance into existing processes, minimizing overhead and ensuring responsible and scalable AI usage across the organization.
Coordinate closely with architecture, platform and security teams to integrate governance-by-design principles into tools, platforms and delivery practices.
Monitor governance KPIs such as data quality, compliance maturity, and AI risk classification, and transparently report progress to stakeholders.
Facilitate the Data Governance Board and AI Governance Board, driving decisions, alignment and measurable outcomes.
What you bring
Strong expertise in data governance principles, metadata management, and regulatory frameworks in complex or regulated environments.
Solid understanding of AI governance, ethical AI principles, and risk-based approaches, with the ability to balance innovation and compliance.
A strategic mindset combined with excellent communication and stakeholder management skills across business and IT.
Proven experience in cross-functional collaboration, influencing without direct authority.
Familiarity with modern data platforms and tools (Snowflake, DBT, AWS), including hands-on knowledge of data catalogs and AI lifecycle management tools.
5–10 years of experience in data governance, AI governance, or IT governance.
For this role, we are looking for someone to join us as a permanent employee, based in Belgium.
