AI Governance Lead

Bring GetYourGuide’s internal AI governance framework to life, from policy into practice. This means:

• Build and operate the technical foundations that put the AI governance framework into practice: implement the standards, guardrails, and tooling that determine how AI tools are evaluated, adopted, and used across the company.
• Execute against the AI enablement roadmap, balancing innovation velocity with security, compliance, and operational integrity.
• Serve as the primary technical point of contact internally, the go-to advisor for teams navigating tooling choices and shadow AI risks, escalating governance calls to IT leadership when needed.
• Support cross-functional alignment between AI, Security, Legal, and business stakeholders, translating technical trade-offs into clear recommendations for decision makers.
• Drive the reduction of shadow AI and fragmentation across the organization through governance structures that are practical enough to actually get adopted.
• Evaluate AI platforms and tools and recommend selections based on security posture, compliance requirements, and long-term operational fit, not just near-term capability.

• A track record of implementing AI governance frameworks, tooling, or enablement programs at scale.
• Strong technical judgment on where to move fast and where to slow down when rolling out AI capabilities.

Cross-functional Influence

• Experience operating at the intersection of technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Ability to challenge assumptions, surface the real problem behind a request, and guide decisions under ambiguity without waiting for permission.

Technical Breadth

• Solid generalist background across platform, SaaS, or systems environments - enough to evaluate AI tooling credibly and ask the right hard questions.
• Fluency in security, compliance, and data governance considerations specific to AI: model risk, data residency, access controls, auditability.

Execution at Scope

• Comfortable owning initiatives from 0 to 1 - problem definition through implementation and iteration.
• Can operate in a fast-moving, ambiguous environment and make high-quality decisions without perfect information., * Background in cybersecurity, privacy, or legal/compliance adjacent roles.
• Experience in a high-growth tech company navigating rapid AI adoption.
• Sysadmin or platform engineering background that gives you technical credibility with engineering teams.

• Annual personal growth budget and mentorship programs for continuous learning and development
• Work from anywhere in the world for 30 days per year
• A hybrid working approach with three days of in office collaboration (Mon, Tue, Thur) and two days of optional at home focus time.
• Opportunities to collaborate and socialize with team members through quarterly team events and yearly company-wide events
• Monthly transportation and fitness budget
• Discounts for you, your friends, and family on GetYourGuide activities

And more…

AI adoption at GetYourGuide is growing fast, and the decisions made now - about what we build, what we allow, and how we govern it - will shape the company for years. This is a high-visibility, cross-functional role that sits at the intersection of AI strategy, security, legal, and product.

You’ll work directly with the AI Council, IT, Security, and Legal, and partner with AI-focused teams across the business. The role reports into SaaS Operations and operates with company-wide scope: you will build and operate the technical foundations for AI adoption, execute against the governance framework and strategic direction set by IT leadership, and be the go-to technical owner for putting AI governance into practice day to day..
