About the Role
We are looking for a Senior AI Governance Counsel to join our Global DPO Office and help build, roll out, and operate Adyen's enterprise AI governance framework. You will translate AI and privacy requirements into pragmatic policies, standards, and assessment workflows, partnering with various teams to implement them. A particular focus will be on generative and agentic AI use cases, and on empowering first-line teams with the necessary parameters and tooling.
Responsibilities
- Help build, roll out, and embed Adyen's enterprise-wide AI governance framework, policies, and standards, driving consistency as AI adoption scales across the business.
- Design and operationalize AI risk and impact assessments across the AI lifecycle, with particular focus on generative and agentic AI use cases.
- Interpret the EU AI Act, the NIST AI Risk Management Framework, and other applicable AI laws across Adyen's global footprint, and translate them into practical policies, playbooks, and procedures for first-line teams.
- Support the teams that maintain Adyen's AI inventories by defining governance parameters and requirements for cataloguing and risk-classifying AI tools and use cases.
- Develop enterprise guidance and a consistent approach for evaluating AI systems, covering performance, fairness, and explainability expectations appropriate to each use case's risk profile.
- Design simple, proportionate, risk-tiered processes and “green paths” that make responsible AI the easy path for fast-moving teams.
- Translate model-evaluation techniques into clear procedures that technology teams can apply to their own models and tools.
- Partner with Enterprise Risk, Security, Product, Compliance, Legal, Regulatory, and Engineering to run the AI governance program and align on controls, escalation, and human-oversight protocols.
- Advise on privacy considerations across the AI lifecycle, coordinating with the wider DPO Office on the interaction between AI assessments and data protection.
- Design and deliver AI governance training and promote AI literacy and a culture of responsible, accountable AI use.
- Monitor global AI and privacy developments and translate them into proportionate governance requirements, supporting responses to audit, regulatory, and client inquiries.
Requirements
- 7+ Years in Governance/Privacy: Proven background building, deploying, and managing global AI or privacy governance programs, ideally within regulated, multi-jurisdictional environments.
- Qualified lawyer or governance professional with substantial experience in AI governance, privacy, or technology risk.
- Prior experience in payments, financial services, or other heavily regulated industries is preferred.
- Solid working knowledge of the EU AI Act, NIST AI RMF, and ISO/IEC 42001, along with global privacy regulations (GDPR, CCPA/CPRA).
- Familiarity with LLMs, autonomy levels, human-in-the-loop design, and tool/action permissioning.
- Understanding of model evaluation techniques including fairness, bias, drift, performance, explainability, and red teaming, and the ability to translate them into practical policies.
- Skilled at converting complex, fast-evolving AI regulations into practical, business-aligned guidance for non-technical stakeholders.
- Proven ability to partner with and drive adoption across Risk, Security, Product, Compliance, Legal, and Engineering without relying on direct authority.
- Strong drafting, communication, and stakeholder-management skills paired with a proactive, builder mindset.
