Head of AI Assurance
Faculty is seeking a Head of AI Assurance to lead and develop its AI assurance proposition within the Professional and Financial Services unit. This role involves leveraging Faculty's expertise in AI safety, formulating a commercial strategy to acquire new clients, and overseeing the delivery of high-quality client outcomes in AI validation, audit, and risk management.
AI is advancing fast, with agentic applications holding the promise of helping organisations make decisions faster and more effectively. In financial services, however, adoption is slowed by concerns about AI safety. Ensuring AI systems are auditable, interpretable, and aligned to regulatory expectations will be key.
Faculty has long been a leader in AI safety and assurance. We're employed by the world's most elite AI labs, like OpenAI and Anthropic, to red-team their models prior to release. We've delivered pioneering work for the UK's AI Safety Institute and helped ensure the success of the Bletchley Summit - and we've been trusted by the FCA to help shape its AI Live Testing Initiative to accelerate safe AI adoption across the financial services sector.
We're now looking for a Head of AI Assurance for our Professional and Financial Services unit to build on those credentials and develop a compelling assurance proposition for that sector. The Head will define the specifics of the proposition - it could include everything from redesigning risk and control frameworks; building software to streamline work in second-lines; assisting post-mortem third-line audits; and developing reusable agentic evaluations and guardrails for technical teams. Faculty is making substantial financial investments in this area in the coming years, so this is a unique opportunity to define a best-in-class AI safety proposition inside a company that cares about it deeply.
