## Description

JCW is partnering with a well-established regional bank to hire an AI Enablement & Data Governance Manager. This is a newly shaped role where data governance meets the bank's growing use of AI. You will make sure the data feeding analytics and AI initiatives is trusted, well-governed, and compliant, and that AI tools are adopted safely and responsibly across the business. You will work closely with IT, Data & Analytics, Risk, Information Security, Compliance, and business leaders to turn governance and AI policy into practical, day-to-day controls. This is a hands-on leadership seat: not a pure data science role, and not a policy-only role, but someone who can set the standards, stand up the frameworks, and help teams put them into practice.
