Senior Manager AI Governance

Belgium

We are looking for a Senior Manager in AI Governance who can help organizations make sense of the EU AI Act and translate it into something that actually works in practice.

You’ll operate at the intersection of regulation, business and technology, advising clients on responsible AI, setting up governance frameworks, and guiding them from initial assessment to real implementation.

This is far more than a compliance role. You will help organizations unlock the value of AI by translating regulatory requirements into practical, scalable, and future-proof solutions. In addition, the role includes a commercial component, where you will support business development efforts, contribute to client discussions, and help grow the AI governance practice.

You’ll work closely with senior stakeholders, combining content expertise, client advisory and delivering leadership to build long-term AI governance capabilities. At the same time, you help grow the practice and shape how we support clients in this space.

Your expertise

  • 8–15+ years in consulting, risk, or regulatory environments

  • Strong experience in AI Governance / Responsible AI / AI Risk

  • Solid understanding of the EU AI Act

  • Good to solid understanding of the different types of AI including data science, machine learning, Generative AI and Agentic AI.

  • Proven track record in assessments, transformations, and stakeholder management

  • Strong interest in data governance, security, and compliance

  • Languages: Fluent in English and Dutch, with a good understanding of French.

What sets you apart

  • Commercial mindset & ability to grow client relationships

  • Comfortable advising executives and boards

  • Pragmatic, hands-on, and solution-oriented

  • Passion for responsible AI and emerging regulations.

  • Ability to see the bigger picture whereby the AI Act relates to other digital and data regulations.
