EA Finance is transforming how data and AI power insights, automation, and decisions across the enterprise. As part of this multi-year Finance Transformation, we are establishing an integrated AI & Data Governance role that ensures Finance data, analytics, and intelligent systems are trusted, compliant, and responsibly managed.
The AI & Data Governance Manager will design, implement, and continuously improve the governance framework for Finance's data assets and AI solutions - ensuring that data is accurate and secure, and that AI models and agents operate safely, ethically, and efficiently. This role serves as the single point of accountability for Finance data and AI governance, partnering closely with Legal, Security, CTO D+I, and EAIT teams to embed governance into every phase of the data and AI lifecycle. You will report to the Senior Manager, FinTech Data & Insights. This role follows a hybrid work model, requiring a minimum of three days per week in an EA office.
