Job title: Principal Consultant - AI Security & Governance (SME)
Location: Leeds / Hybrid
Salary: Competative market rate
If you know what it takes to navigate AI security, risk and governance within complex organisations, this is an opportunity to take that experience somewhere you can actually shape the answer.
Businesses are investing heavily in AI, but many are stuck between proving it works and proving it's safe to deploy. Boards want confidence. Engineers need practical guardrails.
We're looking for a Principal Consultant - AI Security & Governance to bridge that gap.
You'll be joining a growing, AI-native technology consultancy, with the opportunity to build the security, governance and assurance capability around its existing proposition. You'll help organisations move from AI discovery and POC through to governed, secure production.
The Role:
You'll sit at the point where AI, security, governance and engineering meet, helping clients turn AI ambition into something they can confidently build, deploy and operate.
At board and risk committee level, you'll help senior stakeholders understand AI risk, define risk appetite and make informed decisions about whether an initiative is ready to progress.
Alongside engineers, you'll get into the technical detail - threat-modelling AI and agentic architectures, assessing guardrails, data access, identity and failure modes.
From POC to production, you'll bring the two sides together - making AI safe enough for the business without making it impossible for engineers to build.
What You'll Be Doing:
- Advise boards, audit and risk committees on AI risk and governance.
- Design and implement practical AI governance frameworks, policies and controls.
- Support clients with EU AI Act, UK GDPR, DPIA, NIST AI RMF and ISO 42001 requirements.
- Threat-model GenAI and agentic AI systems.
- Assess risks including prompt injection, data leakage, excessive agency and tool-use escalation.
- Review AI architectures, guardrails, evaluations and security controls.
- Help establish governance and assurance from POC through to production.
- Address data access, permissions, IAM, DLP and non-human identity risks. xgikmsk
