AI Governance Technical Expert (ISO/IEC 42001)

As an AI Governance Technical Expert, you will support ISO/IEC 42001 certification audits by providing specialized subject-matter expertise related to AI lifecycle governance, data governance, and model oversight.

Technical Experts may pursue formal auditor authorization through RSI’s documented competence and authorization framework. Any transition to an auditor role requires full completion of competence evaluation, training, witness audit requirements, and formal authorization prior to performing audit or certification decision activities.
