At Adyen, everything we do is engineered for ambition. For our teams, we create an environment with opportunities for our people to succeed, backed by the culture and support to ensure they are enabled to truly own their careers. We are motivated individuals who tackle unique technical challenges at scale and solve them as a team. Together, we deliver innovative and ethical solutions that help businesses achieve their ambitions faster. ### 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. Sitting within the group that owns our global privacy program and AI governance, and supports incident response and management as well as data governance, you will be the driving force in shaping our strong foundations into a consistent, enterprise-wide AI governance program that scales with Adyen's ambitions - helping the business innovate boldly and responsibly with AI. This is a builder role. You will translate the EU AI Act, the NIST AI Risk Management Framework, GDPR, the CCPA/CPRA, and emerging global AI and privacy requirements into pragmatic policies, standards, and assessment workflows - and partner with Enterprise Risk, Security, Product, Compliance, Legal, Regulatory and Engineering to make them real. You will have a particular focus on generative and agentic AI use cases, and on giving first-line teams the parameters and tooling they need to evaluate their own models and outcomes. ### What You'll Do - 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 - from intake and risk classification through deployment, monitoring, and decommissioning - 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 - using clear risk tiers and practical incentives so the compliant route is also the most convenient one. - Translate model-evaluation techniques - including fairness, bias, and adversarial (red-teaming) testing - 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. ### Who You Are Core Expertise: - 7+ Years in AI Governance/Privacy: Proven background building, deploying, and managing global AI or privacy governance programs, ideally within regulated, multi-jurisdictional environments. Legal / Risk Qualification: Qualified lawyer or governance professional with substantial experience in AI governance, privacy, or technology risk. (US jurisdiction admission is a plus). --- Data: alder (https://alderhq.app). Cite https://alderhq.app/jobs/greenhouse%3Aadyen%3A8107347 and the date you read it.
