What You’ll Be Doing...

We are seeking a detail-oriented and forward thinking AI Risk Analyst to support the identification, evaluation and effective treatment of cyber risks associated with Verizon’s use of AI. This role will help ensure secure AI adoption through the creation and implementation of transparent risk management strategies for AI systems. This involves aligning policies, controls, and standards with industry frameworks like NIST RMF to ensure the secure and compliant development and operation of AI solutions throughout their lifecycle.

The ideal candidate is an experienced risk assessor with a proven track record spanning across information technology and third-party risk management. This will include translating complex technical risks into clear, concise language for diverse audiences, including non-technical stakeholders and executives. This team will have a critical role in pulling all AI related risks into a central repository, developing a standardized risk assessment methodology that continues to evolve based on AI/ML threat intelligence, industry trends, and stakeholder feedback as well as driving appropriate risk mitigation.

The selected individual should have a passion for AI and emerging technology, combined with strong technical and interpersonal skills. They will handle high-profile matters and need to work under pressure with minimal supervision.

Roles And Responsibilities

• Ensuring AI-centric risk management processes and outcomes are established through policies and controls based on organizational priorities and tolerance.
• Documenting processes for information/technology risk assessments and thresholds to warrant a more in-depth review.
• Performing regular reviews of AI applications for compliance and alignment, documenting outcomes and sharing insights with stakeholders.
• Working with the team to define a standardized approach to rating and communicating risks related to Verizon’s use of AI.
• Guiding the review and prioritization of AI projects in alignment with organizational risk priorities.
• Ensuring identified “gaps” are understood and handed off to the appropriate operational teams to be driven through mitigation.
• Ensuring timely and well orchestrated Verizon Cyber Security (VCS) engagement in Verizon’s secure AI efforts.
• Serving as a trusted advisor to the business and technology stakeholders across the enterprise to partner on AI security concerns.
