Job Description As Allstate accelerates its adoption of AI, including Generative AI, Agentic AI, and advanced machine learning, the need for robust, embedded governance has never been greater. As the AI Governance Manager, you will play a pivotal role in shaping how AI is responsibly developed and deployed across the enterprise. This is a hands-on role that requires a deep understanding of how AI systems are built, from data pipelines and model training to AI System deployment and monitoring, and how AI governance is most effectively operationalized. You’ll work directly with partners in technology, engineering, data science, and risk to design and implement governance controls that are practical, scalable, and tightly integrated into the AI development lifecycle. You will partner with a direct report that has knowledge in foundational governance, risk and compliance concepts. You will be part of a team that is reimagining risk management for the AI era, building new and more-efficient frameworks, automating oversight, and ensuring that innovation is enabled by safe and secure platforms. This role supports the broader Responsible AI and Governance Team in Enterprise Risk & Return Management. Your primary responsibility will be developing, maintaining, and operationalizing the foundational elements of an AI Governance Program, including: Holistic AI risk perspective: Develop how Allstate articulates AI risk through a comprehensive and detailed catalog of risks. AI control inventory: Contribute to the development of a holistic perspective of AI controls and risk management activities, including those in development. AI asset inventory: Develop and maintain a process to understand AI System exposure across the enterprise, including Third Party AI. AI Governance operationalization: With the foundational elements described above (risk perspective, control inventory, AI asset inventory), develop and run a process to operationalize governance to the highest-priority areas. AI standards and requirements: Develop, maintain, and update artifacts which provide guidance on safe, responsible AI development and procurement. Coordination, collaboration and partnership: Work closely with other risk functions to ensure the foundational elements of AI governance are comprehensive and aligned to other risk and return programs, such as Data, Model, Third Party, Security, etc.
