• You are hands‑on in working with AI governance tooling, including model registries, approval workflows, policy enforcement mechanisms, and evidence repositories.

• You demonstrate strong stakeholder management and communication skills, enabling you to provide clear, actionable guidance to both technical and non‑technical audiences.
• You bring a growth mindset with openness to new technologies and a willingness to continuously develop relevant skills and capabilities.
• You uphold high standards of professional integrity, discretion, and judgment when handling sensitive or regulated information.
• In addition to these core qualifications, it would be considered an advantage if you have experience performing AI security testing and assurance activities, such as prompt injection testing, data leakage testing, adversarial robustness testing, and red teaming.
• Knowledge of secure cloud architecture and controls for AI workloads, including identity and access management, secrets management, private endpoints, and logging or monitoring, would further strengthen your profile. 
• Familiarity with data governance and compliance practices, including data classification, lineage, retention, and records management for training and inference data, would also be beneficial.
• Experience supporting audits and assurance assessments, such as internal or external audits, ISO 27001, SOC 2, or equivalent frameworks, including remediation planning and tracking, would be a valuable asset.
• Demonstrated experience collaborating effectively with offshore partners and operating across time zones would round off your technical and organizational capabilities.
• You communicate fluently in English at a business level, and German proficiency is an advantage for collaboration and stakeholder engagement across Uniper’s international environment.
