AI Governance Senior Manager

OpenText is a global leader in information management, and we’re looking for an AI Governance Senior Manager to shape the next generation of AI governance capabilities and evolve alongside the emerging era of advanced, agentic, and autonomous AI systems. YOUR IMPACT This hands‑on, strategic role involves designing and operationalizing enterprise‑wide governance processes, standards, and assessment models that support safe, scalable, and forward‑ready AI innovation. You will co‑create governance frameworks, define repeatable workflows, develop assessment tooling, advise solution teams on technical AI risk considerations, and ensure responsible AI practices are embedded into how both current and next‑generation AI solutions are built. You will partner closely with AI development teams, risk, security, privacy, compliance, legal, and business units to ensure AI solutions are safe, responsible, practical, deployable, and adaptable to real‑world technical realities and the rapid evolution of AI capabilities. What the Role Offers Champion responsible and ethical AI by partnering with business and technical teams to understand AI ambitions and delivery constraints, ensuring risks are managed across the full AI lifecycle from experimentation through production without slowing innovation. Ensure AI solutions are governed and future‑ready by designing, evolving, and operationalizing governance frameworks, assessment models, and controls that scale alongside increasingly advanced and autonomous AI systems. Turn research and regulation into action by tracking emerging AI risks, safety practices, and regulatory developments, translating them into practical guidance that evolves governance processes, tools, and evaluation techniques. Ignite innovation and drive adoption by acting as a trusted internal advisor, helping teams deliver impactful, well‑governed AI solutions while establishing enterprise‑wide standards, metrics, and operating rhythms. What You Need To Succeed Experienced in AI governance with over 9 years of hands‑on experience, including governing advanced, agentic, or autonomous AI systems in real delivery contexts. Technically credible in AI delivery, with strong understanding of machine learning, predictive modeling, NLP, computer vision, and generative AI, and how these systems behave in production environments. Experienced in embedding AI safeguards into system design, in close partnership with delivery, risk, and compliance teams. Governance‑by‑design oriented, with familiarity in global and industry AI regulations, standards, and responsible AI frameworks, and the ability to apply them pragmatically rather than theoretically. Forward‑looking and adaptable, staying current with emerging AI capabilities such as multimodal models, generative architectures, and agentic AI patterns, and comfortable operating in fast‑evolving environments. A clear communicator and collaborator, able to translate complex AI concepts into actionable guidance for engineers, business leaders, and executives, and effective in cross‑functional partnership. Values‑driven, operating with integrity, accountability, and alignment to OpenText’s values of trust, teamwork, and responsibility in every interaction. Bachelor’s degree or higher in computer science, data science, mathematics, business, or a related field.
