Contribute to procurement and vendor evaluation activities for AI-related technologies and services.
Support the responsible adoption of AI by considering privacy, security, ethical, and regulatory implications.
Monitor developments in AI governance, data privacy, and emerging regulations and translate insights into practical recommendations.
Help establish policies, standards, and governance practices that support safe and effective use of AI technologies.
Perform other duties as assigned.

KNOWLEDGE, SKILLS, AND QUALIFICATIONS REQUIRED

Bachelor’s degree in business, information systems, data science, analytics, computer science, mathematics, or a related discipline.
3–5 years of experience in AI implementation, business analysis, digital transformation, data analytics, technology enablement, or related roles.
Demonstrated experience identifying, piloting, implementing, or scaling AI-enabled solutions.
Strong understanding of AI technologies and their practical applications in organizational settings.
Experience facilitating collaboration between technical and non-technical partners.
Experience developing prototypes, proofs of concept, or AI-enabled workflows.
Ability to independently explore, evaluate, and communicate emerging technologies and trends.
Strong communication, presentation, facilitation, and relationship-building skills.
Demonstrated problem-solving, critical thinking, and analytical capabilities.
Knowledge of privacy, security, and risk considerations associated with AI.
Familiarity with Canadian privacy legislation and emerging AI regulatory frameworks.
Experience in a not-for-profit, academic, research, public policy, or knowledge-based organization is an asset.
