About The Position

The AI and Emerging Technologies Risk Manager will serve as a central point of coordination for AI use case intake, onboarding, governance, and AI oversight.

This role partners closely with WCIB business leaders and the Second Line of Defense (SLOD) teams including Enterprise Risk Management, Technology Risk Oversight, Model Risk Management, Compliance, Law Division, Third Party Risk Management, Enterprise Data Governance, and Information Security Services and Technology Risk Oversight.
