• Develop training materials including written guides, workflow diagrams, video walkthroughs, and quick-reference cards tailored to non-technical end users.
• Champion responsible AI use across the organization, helping staff understand both the value and the limitations of the tools they are using, including when human judgment must override an AI output.
• Gather and synthesize user feedback on deployed tools; use adoption data and qualitative input to improve training, configurations, and prioritization of new features.
• Establish and manage an internal AI user community or working group to facilitate cross-departmental knowledge sharing and surface new use case ideas.

• Review vendor AI contracts and data processing agreements for provisions relevant to data security, model training on customer inputs, intellectual property, liability, and audit rights; escalate material concerns to Legal.
• Maintain awareness of applicable AI regulations, data privacy laws (CCPA, GDPR where relevant) and emerging state and federal AI legislation; proactively assess implications for BioMed’s deployed tools.
• Ensure that AI tools touching financial reporting, lease accounting, or other relevant processes are documented within the internal control framework and reviewed by internal audit on an appropriate cycle.
• Maintain records of AI-related risk assessments, compliance reviews, and vendor security evaluations sufficient to support internal audit, external audit, and regulatory inquiry.
• Flag any AI tool or use pattern that presents unacceptable risk, including confidential data exposure, unsanctioned automation of material transactions, or conflict with tenant or vendor contractual obligations and lead the remediation process.

Skills and Experience
