About the Role
This is a high-visibility, cross-functional role at the intersection of AI strategy, security, legal, and product. You will build and operate the technical foundations for AI adoption, execute against the governance framework and strategic direction, and be the go-to technical owner for putting AI governance into practice day to day.
Responsibilities
- Bring GetYourGuide's internal AI governance framework to life, from policy into practice.
- Build and operate the technical foundations that put the AI governance framework into practice: implement the standards, guardrails, and tooling that determine how AI tools are evaluated, adopted, and used across the company.
- Execute against the AI enablement roadmap, balancing innovation velocity with security, compliance, and operational integrity.
- Serve as the primary technical point of contact internally, the go-to advisor for teams navigating tooling choices and shadow AI risks, escalating governance calls to IT leadership when needed.
- Support cross-functional alignment between AI, Security, Legal, and business stakeholders, translating technical trade-offs into clear recommendations for decision makers.
- Drive the reduction of shadow AI and fragmentation across the organization through governance structures that are practical enough to actually get adopted.
- Evaluate AI platforms and tools and recommend selections based on security posture, compliance requirements, and long-term operational fit, not just near-term capability.
Requirements
- A track record of implementing AI governance frameworks, tooling, or enablement programs at scale.
- Strong technical judgment on where to move fast and where to slow down when rolling out AI capabilities.
- Experience operating at the intersection of technical and non-technical stakeholders.
- Ability to challenge assumptions, surface the real problem behind a request, and guide decisions under ambiguity without waiting for permission.
- Solid generalist background across platform, SaaS, or systems environments — enough to evaluate AI tooling credibly and ask the right hard questions.
- Fluency in security, compliance, and data governance considerations specific to AI: model risk, data residency, access controls, auditability.
- Comfortable owning initiatives from 0 to 1 — problem definition through implementation and iteration.
- Can operate in a fast-moving, ambiguous environment and make high-quality decisions without perfect information.
- You've built and scaled an AI enablement or platform function from the ground up.
- Background in cybersecurity, privacy, or legal/compliance adjacent roles.
- Experience in a high-growth tech company navigating rapid AI adoption.
- Sysadmin or platform engineering background that gives you technical credibility with engineering teams.
