AI Governance Engineer

Job Description

Dentsu is operationalizing AI at scale. Across every brand and practice, business teams are identifying AI-powered tools, platforms, and vendors they want to deploy — and they need a fast, expert path through the governance process to do it safely.

The AI Governance Concierge Service is dentsu's answer to that challenge — a dedicated, end-to-end service that gives any Americas business team a single expert point of contact for AI product adoption. The AI Governance Engineer is the process navigator, program manager, and technical implementer of the service.

Working in close coordination with the AI Governance Service Lead, the Governance Engineer receives each submission package approved by the Lead, thoroughly understands its contents — the business case, the vendor research, the risk profile, and the policy alignment — and takes full ownership of driving it through the cross-functional review process. The Engineer is expected to speak to the details of every submission they manage, serve as the knowledgeable point of contact for all reviewing functions, coordinate with the Analyst when additional research or documentation is needed, and own the end-to-end implementation once approval is granted. This role ensures nothing stalls, nothing is lost, and every engagement crosses the finish line.

The AI Governance Concierge Service is not simply an approval function — it is a service built around bringing every engagement to a successful conclusion. That means approving solutions that meet dentsu's standards, identifying alternative products or approaches that address the business need within governance requirements, and providing solutions that facilitate approval where possible. When risks are identified that prevent approval, the service's role is to clearly document and communicate those risks and leave the decision to the business to weigh the risk and reward. Success is a business team that always has a clear path forward —
