About the Role 🤓

Data trust is becoming one of the most important challenges in the era of AI analytics. As a Data & AI Governance Specialist at seQura, you will help build the foundations that allow teams to find, trust, understand, and apply data and AI safely, autonomously, and responsibly.

Responsibilities

Collaborate with domain stewards and analysts to maintain a unified data dictionary, clear business metric definitions, and AI model documentation.
Partner with Core Data, Data Science & AI, Business, and Engineering teams to implement automated data quality checks across pipelines, health, and performance monitoring dashboards/alerts.
Manage and improve the data catalog, AI model inventory, and model registry so assets are organized, searchable, well documented, and easy to understand.
Help Data Champions and AI Owners succeed by giving them clear templates, training, tooling, and documentation rather than relying on manual approval gates.
Act as the operational bridge between Legal, Privacy, Security, and Data & AI teams to support GDPR, SOC 2, and EU AI Act readiness.
Champion a culture where quality and responsible AI are collective responsibilities, supported by automation, ownership, and practical enablement.

Ability to translate business, legal, or privacy requirements into practical solutions with technical teams.
2 to 5 years of hands-on experience in any of these areas: Data Governance, Data Quality Engineering, Analytics Engineering, AI Operations, or a related area.
Experience working with data teams to implement policies, standards, or governance practices in real systems.
Experience operating modern data catalog, metadata, or documentation tools.
Strong communication skills across business stakeholders, technical data teams, and legal or privacy teams.
Strong analytical ability to trace data quality issues back through pipelines, models, or workflows and support root-cause resolution.
A self-service mindset: you prefer clear standards, automation, and enablement over manual approval gates.

Nice to Have:

Practical understanding of AI and ML lifecycles.
Experience with Generative AI application patterns.
Understanding of AI cataloging, model inventories, or model registries.
Familiarity with AI bias detection or mitigation practices.
Working knowledge of foundational AI privacy and regulatory requirements, including the EU AI Act.

Experience supporting semantic layer, ontology graph, access marketplace, or data ownership initiatives.
Working knowledge of foundational data privacy requirements such as GDPR and SOC 2.
