Job Summary
Job Purpose
Around 2200 people at Tungsten Automation now use AI in their daily work and a growing number of them build with it. Some are professional developers. Many are business users who ship working applications without an engineering background.
The AI Governance Lead owns the governance of what they create: the skills plugins and applications used across the company and the standards and tooling that let them be built once and reused everywhere. Skills are reusable instruction sets that let an AI assistant carry out a defined piece of work to a standard. They are how specialist knowledge gets packaged once and reused. Today they are being written across the company with no shared standard. The purpose of the role is to make AI value creation scale beyond what any single team can hand-deliver.
This is an evolving role. The function is young and priorities will shift over the first year. The person in this role will help decide what they are. Demand already exists and comes from departments with real commitments.
Key Responsibilities
Working close to the business
Spend real time with people in every department understand what they are trying to solve and work alongside them while they build. This is not a queue-based role.
Understand each departments processes and what they are actually trying to automate.
Judge when something built for one person should become a shared asset for a team a department or the company.
Surface duplication and consolidate it. Connect people who do not know they need the same thing.
Enablement
Build and run the onboarding path that takes someone from AI user to capable builder.
Run training workshops and regular office hours for the builder community.
Grow a community of practice so builders help each other rather than routing everything through a single person.
Identify and develop the strongest builders in each department into local points of contact.
Write documentation that reduces the number of questions only one person can answer.
Support without doing the work for people. The goal is self-sufficiency not a service desk.
Governance of skills plugins and applications
Own the global catalogue of skills plugins connectors and applications: what exists who owns it what version is current what has been retired.
Set the authoring standard and define what ready for internal release means.
Review and approve everything before it is published and re-review when the underlying process changes.
Run the distribution mechanism so assets reach the right audience whether company wide per department or per team.
Prevent overlap and ensure sensitive assets are scoped and reviewed with Security and Privacy.
Measure what is actually used and retire what is not.
Blueprints and standards
Define the architectural template internally built applications follow covering telemetry logging security authentication and data handling.
Seed new projects with guardrails and starter repositories so the right thing is the easy thing.
Evolve the standards as the estate grows.
Platform source control and access
Configure deploy and run containerised applications on Azure including networking secrets and scaling. Own monitoring alerting and incident response.
Configure database connections and permissions per application.
Own repository and organisation governance: permissions branch protection secret scanning dependency policy CI/CD pipelines app installations and service identities.
Control who has access to what using OIDC Entra ID OAuth scopes and the correct token model.
Run security scanning across the estate and act on what it finds.
Act as the technical interface to IT and as technical counterpart to InfoSec Legal and Privacy
