Operating in a highly federated governance model, the Project Manager coordinates across CDAO, IT, Risk, Legal, Product, and Engineering teams to establish standardized monitoring processes, align tooling (e.g., Arize), and operationalize monitoring requirements as outline in the AI governance Policy . The role focuses on closing cross-team execution gaps, ensuring traceability and audit readiness, and enabling scalable, risk-based monitoring practices across all AI systems.

4. Risk-Based Monitoring Framework Execution - Drive adoption of standardized metrics, thresholds, and "judges" across AI systems
- Ensure risk-tiered monitoring practices are consistently implemented across divisions
5. Incident Detection, Response, and Continuous Improvement - Enable automated alerting, escalation, and triage workflows for monitoring events
- Integrate with current processes around post-incident reviews and root cause analysis
- Drive continuous improvement by feeding insights back into upstream lifecycle phases (i.e. pre prod monitoring on VG Bench)
6. Reporting & Executive Visibility - Deliver enterprise-level dashboards and reporting on system health, incidents, and compliance
- Prepare executive-ready materials for governance forums and senior leadership
- Establish a single source of truth for monitoring status, maturity, and risk exposure
7. Operational Excellence & Scaling - Identify execution gaps, tooling limitations, and process inefficiencies
- Drive investments in scalability, reliability, and traceability of monitoring systems
- Support automation and standardization to reduce manual overhead and improve consistenc y
