During your tenure as a Senior Consultant/ Manager, you will demonstrate and develop your capabilities in the following areas
Find and prioritise opportunities
· Work with domain leads to map manual, repetitive and high-volume tasks across strategy, technical assessments, risk, compliance, TPRM, governance and performance management
· Build a prioritised backlog of AI and automation use cases, with expected time savings, risk and effort for each
· Track AI advancements and good practice, and share them with the Innovation Guidance Team and the wider programme
Build AI and automation solutions
· Design, build and deploy solutions such as:
o Evidence and document analysis: reviewing policies, contracts, SOC 2 reports and compliance evidence against required controls
o TPRM automation: pre-filling and reviewing supplier questionnaires and flagging gaps
o Vulnerability analytics: enriching and prioritising findings using asset, threat and exploit data
o Reporting automation: generating draft assessment reports, dashboards and executive summaries
o AI assistants: helping the team search frameworks, policies and past work
o Anomaly detection: detection use cases with the SOC where relevant
· Build data pipelines and integrations with security tools, GRC and TPRM platforms, ticketing systems and Power BI
· Choose the right approach for each problem, whether rules, scripts, classical ML or large language models (LLMs), rather than defaulting to AI
Make AI secure and responsible

· Protect sensitive data: keep it within approved environments and meet PDPL, NCA and SDAIA requirements
· Test AI solutions against prompt injection, data leakage and incorrect outputs, following OWASP Top 10 for LLM Applications and NIST AI RMF
· Apply MLOps practices: version control, testing, monitoring, model performance tracking and documented governance of each solution
