• Define and operationalize audience-specific controls, access models, and deployment standards for enterprise AI and agentic platforms across employee, engineering, product, and business user populations.

• Establish measurable controls covering registration, approval, monitoring, auditability, exception management, and policy enforcement.

• Lead assessment and governance of emerging technology risks including artificial intelligence, autonomous systems, quantum computing, cryptographic advancements, digital assets, and future technology domains.

• Own the strategy and roadmap for controls spanning registries, runtime enforcement, data protection, output quality, evidence, containment, and program governance.

• Define control ownership, covered systems, expected behavior, failure response, dependencies, exceptions, and effectiveness measures.

• Translate security, regulatory, and operational requirements into platform capabilities with clear acceptance criteria.

• Partner with engineering and architecture teams on identity, authorization, gateways, data access, APIs, telemetry, resilience, and recovery.

• Establish standardized processes for registering AI systems, authorizing actions, enforcing policy, recording activity, and producing evidence.

• Prioritize enhancements based on risk, platform reliability, adoption, operational needs, and cost.

• Use production data, control testing, and business impact measures to guide movement from observation to enforcement, including rollout, rollback, and containment planning.

• Track control coverage, adoption, bypasses, exceptions, failures, and evidence quality, and communicate decisions and gaps to senior stakeholders and control functions.
