Drive forward Vanguard’s strategy to scale AI responsibly across the organization. In this role you will be responsible for leading cross-divisional efforts to operationalize Vanguard’s enterprise Continuous Monitoring function as a core component of the Responsible AI Framework. This role drives the execution, scale, and adoption of monitoring capabilities across AI systems, ensuring consistent observability, risk detection, and lifecycle feedback across all production environments.

Integrate with current processes around post-incident reviews and root cause analysis

6. Reporting & Executive Visibility
Deliver enterprise-level dashboards and reporting on system health, incidents, and compliance
Prepare executive-ready materials for governance forums and senior leadership
Establish a single source of truth for monitoring status, maturity, and risk exposure
