• Support the technical design and implementation of the People Data AI Control Tower, including visibility into data readiness, approved use cases, controls, dependencies, and operational health.

• Support design of monitoring and traceability capabilities for approved AI-enabled people-data solutions.

• Partner with governance stakeholders to translate AI standards into enforceable technical controls.
