• Lead stage-gate reviews, portfolio health assessments, and assurance activities to support sound investment and delivery decisions.
• Drive AI governance and regulatory readiness efforts, partnering with Legal and Compliance teams to ensure alignment with evolving regulations and responsible AI principles.
• Prepare executive-level assurance reports, highlighting trends, risks, compliance findings, and recommendations for senior leadership.
• Escalate significant quality concerns, non-conformances, and risk exposures, ensuring timely resolution and informed decision-making.
• Collaborate with PMO, delivery teams, Internal Audit, Compliance, and business stakeholders to strengthen governance and assurance practices across the organization.

Your Background

• Master's degree in Quality Management, Business Administration, Engineering, or a related discipline.
• 10+ years of experience in quality assurance, compliance, risk management, program assurance, or portfolio governance within complex, multinational organizations.
• Demonstrated experience leading assurance, audit, risk, or compliance functions and managing high-performing teams.
• Strong understanding of quality management systems, risk management methodologies, and independent assurance practices.
• Experience conducting audits, quality reviews, and governance assessments within large-scale transformation programs.
• Knowledge of AI governance frameworks, responsible AI principles, and emerging regulatory requirements, including the EU AI Act.
• Strong analytical, problem-solving, and decision-making capabilities.
• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills, with experience engaging senior executives and steering committees.
