Let’s create a brighter future together, let’s make a difference:

As part of Zurich’s Australia’s focus on becoming the leading Digital insurer in Australia, the Data, AI, and Automation team is creating a new AI focused Platform team to become the Centre of Excellence for AI Solution & Delivery, supporting the entire enterprise as well as the market facing business lines across Life and General Insurance.

This includes identifying, selecting, and implementing tools to streamline and automate AI Governance activities, where possible.

You will own the end-to-end AI governance assessments, provide advice and guidance throughout the AI solution lifecycle, and ensure AI solutions comply with applicable legal requirements and regulation. You will co-create and complete the training and communication plan of responsible AI, and be the primary point of contact and advocate for the AI Platform Team’s AI Solutions within the organisation, with a focus on continually increasing AI maturity across the business.

Important to your success – let’s grow together:

• Extensive experience in a governance role, working with Data or Automation Solutions within cloud and non-cloud environments.
