Job Summary 

GovTech is seeking a strategic and mission-driven Lead/Senior Product Manager to spearhead the AI Safety and Governance pillar within PlatformAI. As AI adoption scales across the public sector, your mission is to ensure that every AI-enabled application is secure, fair, and accountable by design. 

You will own a dual-track roadmap: 

• For Developers: Building the "Safety Stack"—a suite of automated Evals, Guardrails, and Red-teaming tools that allow teams to deploy LLMs with speed and confidence. 

• For Governance and Observability: Architecting the "Governance Layer"—observability tools and risk-posture dashboards that provide a unified view of AI compliance across the whole-of-government (WOG) ecosystem. 

 

Key Responsibilities 

1. Defining the Sovereign Safety Standard 

• Define the long-term strategy for AI Safety-as-a-Service, transitioning governance from a manual checklist to an automated platform feature. 
• Synthesize emerging global frameworks and local AI governance policies into platform features that make compliance "invisible" for developers. 
• Establish the government’s standard for AI risk levels, determining the safety benchmarks required for different use cases (e.g., citizen-facing vs. internal productivity). 

2. Building the Guardrails & Audit Trails 

• Lead the development of automated evaluation engines that stress-test products and models for prompt injection, PII leakage, toxicity, and hallucination before and after deployment. 
• Partner with Engineering to integrate safety checks directly into CI/CD pipelines, ensuring that "Safety-by-Design" accelerates rather than hinders deployment. 
• Build real-time monitoring tools to detect "jailbreak" attempts and model drift, ensuring rapid mitigation of live AI risks. 

3. Bridging Policy & Code 

• Act as the primary liaison between Policy/Legal teams and Engineering teams to ensure technical tools meet policy and legal intent. 
• Cultivate a culture of safety across GovTech by publishing playbooks, standardizing red-teaming exercises, and educating teams on the evolving LLM vulnerability landscape. 

4. Trust-Centric Metrics & Accountability  

• Define and track KPIs such as Mean Time to Detect (MTTD) vulnerabilities, Policy Coverage %, and Guardrail Efficacy Rates. 

 

What You Will Bring 

• Senior Product Leadership: Proven experience managing complex technical products, specifically those focused on Security, Governance, or AI/ML infrastructure.
