Trustible is a fast-growing, venture-backed startup working with some of the leading Fortune 500s and technology companies in enabling their responsible AI governance. Our AI-powered software platform enables legal/compliance and AI/ML teams to scale their AI Governance strategies to help build trust, manage risk, and comply with regulations.

We believe effective AI governance unlocks innovation rather than constraining it. At Trustible, you’ll help organizations adopt AI safely and at scale while doing work that is necessary, action-oriented, and foundational to the future of AI.

Role Overview

We are looking for a Director of AI Governance to serve as the connective tissue between the rapidly evolving AI regulatory landscape and the practical needs of enterprise AI governance programs. This role blends deep policy expertise with hands-on customer engagement, sitting at the intersection of product, legal, and go-to-market.

You will be Trustible’s in-house AI policy expert, monitoring the global regulatory landscape, translating legislation and frameworks into actionable product requirements, and ensuring our platform reflects the state of the art in AI governance best practices. At the same time, you will work directly with enterprise customers as a trusted governance advisor, helping them understand what good AI governance looks like, how emerging regulations affect their programs, and how to configure Trustible to operationalize compliance.

This is a role for someone who is equally comfortable dissecting a piece of legislation and whiteboarding an implementation plan with a Fortune 500 compliance team.

What You'll Do

Monitor, analyze, and synthesize global AI legislation (EU AI Act, NIST AI RMF, state-level US laws, sector-specific guidance) into clear, actionable intelligence for product and go-to-market teams

Map regulatory requirements to Trustible’s platform constructs, translating legal obligations into specific features, fields, workflows, and assessment criteria

Partner with the product team to scope and prioritize requirements that ensure the platform meets current and anticipated regulatory needs

Develop and maintain a regulatory mapping library that connects legislation to platform capabilities, serving as a resource for internal teams and customers alike

Engage directly with enterprise customers to assess their regulatory obligations, risk posture, and organizational maturity around AI governance

Advise customers on how to structure their AI governance programs, including risk frameworks, vendor assessment processes, use case inventories, and approval workflows

Guide customers on platform configuration decisions, helping them understand how Trustible’s features map to their specific governance requirements

Lead implementation workshops and advisory sessions that translate regulatory complexity into practical, platform-supported workflows

Develop reusable governance templates, vendor profiles, and AI risk guidance accelerate customer time-to-value

Serve as an escalation point for complex governance questions that require deep regulatory or legal expertise

Gather customer feedback and translate recurring needs into product enhancement recommendations

Author thought leadership content (white papers, blog posts, regulatory briefs) that establishes Trustible as a credible voice in AI governance

Contribute to sales enablement materials that articulate how Trustible addresses specific regulatory requirements

What We're Looking For

Required

5+ years of experience working in AI policy, technology law, regulatory compliance, or a closely adjacent field

Demonstrated fluency in global AI regulatory frameworks (EU AI Act, NIST AI RMF, ISO 42001, and equivalent standards)

Experience working with enterprise customers in an advisory, consulting, or implementation capacity

Ability to translate complex legal and regulatory language into clear, practical guidance for both technical and non-technical audiences

Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to present credibly to senior stakeholders, legal teams, and compliance officers

Comfort operating in a fast-paced startup environment where you will wear multiple hats and shape the role as it evolves

Strongly Preferred

J.D. or equivalent legal degree

Experience in a legal, policy, or compliance role at a technology company or consultancy focused on AI/ML

Familiarity with GRC (Governance, Risk & Compliance) platforms and enterprise software workflows

Prior experience translating legislation into software product requirements

Nice to Have

AIGP, CIPP/US, CIPP/E, or equivalent privacy/governance certifications

Experience with AI vendor risk management or third-party AI assessments

Background in product development, public policy, legislative affairs, or government relations related to technology

Why You'll Love Working at Trustible

You'll join a thoughtful, high-caliber team that values clarity, trust, and execution. Your work will help build foundational infrastructure for how AI is governed at major organizations. This role offers an opportunity to grow faster and take on more responsibility than in most traditional paths.
