## Job description

## About the project

Neurons Lab is an FSI-focused AI consultancy delivering agentic AI for banks, insurers, and asset/wealth managers across EU, UK, and APAC. The EU AI Act is now partially in force: Article 50 transparency obligations (AI disclosure, machine-readable content marking) apply since August 2026, while high-risk obligations were deferred by the Digital Omnibus to December 2027 — creating a readiness-programme window for our clients rather than a panic-compliance one.

First assignment — international bank, EMEA division (London, October 2026). A 6-session (1–1.5h each) in-person training programme for the bank's AI Governance Committee: cross-functional, non-technical reviewers (data privacy, legal, HR, cybersecurity, AI product, infosec) who assess AI use-case risk. Curriculum: AI fundamentals → regulatory risks (EU AI Act, GDPR, Art 50 transparency) → cybersecurity risks → bias/fairness and performance → risk identification and controls, with hands-on exercises using the client's own risk assessment forms. The programme also includes redesigning their risk assessment workflow into simplified, team-specific forms. Delivery follows a specialist-coaches model: you anchor the regulatory/governance and controls modules, paired with a technical trainer for fundamentals and security sessions. Beyond the first assignment, the role operates across both Neurons Lab revenue motions: governance trainer inside AI Adoption Programs (executive workshops for boards and C-level at FSI firms), and compliance advisor to engineering delivery on high-risk use cases in our pipeline — credit scoring, underwriting, claims (Annex III categories). You will also help standardize our AI Act handover pack (self-assessment + system card, first produced for a German credit bureau client) into a default billable deliverable. This is a Talent Network engagement, not a full-time position. You work as a freelance contractor at ~0.2–0.4 FTE per project, with possible gaps between projects, and you're free to hold other commitments alongside Neurons Lab.

Objective Deliver the first client governance training programme to a 90%+ satisfaction standard, then make AI governance a productized capability: standard workshop module in every AI Adoption Program, standard documentation pack on every AI build, and credible regulatory positioning that helps close high-risk FSI engineering deals.

KPI

- CSI ≥ 90% on client sessions and subsequent governance workshops
- Client risk-assessment workflow redesign accepted (simplified team-specific forms in use)
- AI Act documentation pack delivered as standard on 100% of in-scope AI builds
- Retrospective Art 50 review completed across active/recent client systems, with ≥ 2 resulting expansion conversations opened

Areas of Responsibility

- Deliver executive AI governance sessions (in-person London for the first assignment; 2–4h formats elsewhere) — AI Act obligations and timeline, UK divergence, sector-specific FSI requirements, Article 4 AI literacy duty
- Design and facilitate hands-on risk-identification exercises using the client's own risk assessment artifacts; redesign review workflows and forms where in scope
- Determine per-project role classification (provider vs. deployer vs. contractor/integrator) and risk categorization; define the resulting engineering requirements (disclosure, marking, logging, human oversight) with delivery teams
- Standardize and own the reusable governance asset library (self-assessment, system card, information annex); support Legal on contract template updates
- Track regulatory developments (implementing acts, harmonized standards, EBA/EIOPA/FCA guidance) and support pre-sales on governance-led opportunities

## Skills

- Expert command of the EU AI Act including Digital Omnibus changes; working knowledge of GDPR, DORA, ISO/IEC 42001, NIST AI RMF, and UK regulator positions
- Ability to translate legal obligations into concrete review criteria, documentation, and engineering requirements for LLM/agentic systems
- Executive-grade facilitation — credible in front of a bank's governance committee and board; able to bridge terminology between model risk management and modern AI teams
- Fluent client-facing English; additional EU languages a plus

Knowledge

- FSI domain depth: model risk management in banking/insurance, and how credit scoring, underwriting, and claims map to Annex III high-risk categories
- How modern AI systems are built (LLMs, RAG, agents, guardrails, cloud deployment) — enough to hold credible working sessions; deep technical security demos are covered by a paired technical trainer
- Awareness of non-EU regimes (UK principles-based approach, APAC frameworks) for our international delivery footprint

## Experience

- 5+ years in AI/tech governance, model risk, or regulatory compliance — within or for financial institutions
- Track record of designing and delivering executive training or advisory (not just conference talks)
- Experience working alongside legal teams on AI/tech regulation; legal qualification not required
- Independent contractor / consulting experience; comfortable with senior positioning in front of clients

## About Neurons Lab

## Company Overview
- **One-liner**: Neurons Lab is an AI engineering partner that helps Financial Services organizations adopt AI and build production-grade agentic systems, from initial use case definition through deployment and continuous delivery.

- **Mission or purpose statement**: To help Financial Services organizations move from AI-curious to AI-enabled by building capability and deploying systems across core workflows — translating AI ambition into secure, scalable solutions that deliver commercial value.

## Products & Services
- **Custom AI Agents**: Deploy custom AI agents from discovery through production, enabling automation across core workflows with full auditability, traceability, and governance controls built in from the start. Decision logic is aligned with business rules and policies, designed for high-value workflows where accuracy, compliance, and scale are critical.
- **AI Training & Enablement**: Build AI fluency across teams, from engineering to the C-suite, through hands-on training grounded in the client's core workflows. Separate tracks for business and technical teams, with governance, compliance, and risk embedded from the start.
- **Continuous AI Delivery**: Post-deployment support with Forward-Deployed Engineers working alongside client teams to ensure systems continue to evolve. Governance, monitoring, and performance tracking are built in from the start, with AI adoption compounding across workflows over time.

## Market Standing
- **Valuation/Market Cap**: Not publicly available (private, self-funded boutique firm)
- **Key Metric**: Total Funding — Not disclosed (bootstrapped); the team reports 100+ AI implementations since 2019, including with Fortune 500 firms, and a team of 50+ AI engineers, architects, and analysts across Europe
- **Notable Investors/Partners**: Anthropic (partner), AWS (Advanced Partner, among first 15 to achieve AWS GenAI Competency in Agentic AI), Google Cloud (Partner)

- **Accelerated Delivery**: Pre-built FSI agent components and proven deployment patterns allow delivery of working, production-grade systems in weeks rather than months.
