Join Barclays as an AI Security Governance Lead, a pivotal role at the forefront of how AI is adopted safely and responsibly across the organisation. You will take ownership of governing AI‑specific security risks, shaping how they are identified, assessed, and managed as AI moves from experimentation to enterprise scale. Working across CISO and senior stakeholders, you will embed AI considerations into standards, policies, risk assessments, and horizon scanning, ensuring emerging risks are anticipated rather than reacted to. This role offers a unique opportunity to influence executive decision‑making and set consistent, forward‑looking AI security governance across a global financial institution.

Collaboration with stakeholders to understand their security requirements in business processes and IT projects, to enhance overall risk management.
Execution of risk assessments to identify and prioritise potential cybersecurity threats that could impact the banks operations and data and guide the implementation of mitigation strategies and communicate findings to relevant findings to relevant senior stakeholders.
Collaboration with business units to develop and implement security policies and procedures for the banks operations aligned to the risk management framework.
Management of the implementation, testing and monitoring of security controls across the banks IT systems to ensure the effectiveness of controls and mitigation of risk.

Management of complex cybersecurity incidents by collaborating with IT teams and response experts to effectively resolve cases through analysis, expertise support and project supervision.
Identification of emerging cybersecurity trends, threats, and new technologies to address potential risks by advocating the adoption of new security solutions.
Requirements:
AI Security Risk & Governance Expertise- Proven ability to design and operate enterprise‑wide risk and governance frameworks, embedding AI‑specific security risks into existing ERM, IT governance, and control oversight processes.
Regulatory & Compliance Leadership- Strong capability to interpret evolving AI‑related regulations and standards (e.g. EU AI Act, ISO/IEC 42001), translate them into actionable controls and policy, and engage confidently with regulators and auditors.
Executive Communication & Influence - Ability to clearly articulate complex AI security risks to senior leadership and boards, drive cross‑functional alignment, and influence risk decisions without direct authority.
Nice to have:
AI Governance / Responsible AI Experience - Hands‑on involvement with AI ethics, fairness, transparency, or responsible AI frameworks (e.g. NIST AI RMF, OECD AI Principles), beyond traditional security risk.
Standards & Certification Knowledge - Familiarity with AI and security governance standards such as ISO/IEC 42001 and NIST AI RMF, including related certifications or formal governance training.
External Thought Leadership & Industry Engagement- Experience contributing to industry forums, regulatory consultations, standards bodies, or public discussions on AI risk and governance.
