You can design a career you’ll love from top to bottom – we give you the tools you need to succeed and the autonomy to reach your goals.
Join the EisnerAI team to support AI governance by completing a set of methodology and documentation improvements based on lessons learned from recent assessments. The goal is to improve intake accuracy, strengthen control implementation guidance, and produce clearer, more consistent outputs across assessments.

Primary Project: Governance Updates

• You’ll work through a list of improvements mapped to AI governance templates and guidance. You will coordinate edits, ensure consistency across materials, and help produce an implementation-ready documentation set that is easier for teams to use correctly.

• Improve intake workflow clarity and accuracy, create stronger architecture discovery questions and guidance, and develop clearer lifecycle stage definitions and expectations

• Update the platform/solution intake questionnaire to improve how teams report system connectivity (including clearer read vs. write distinctions) and model/vendor identification

• Revise the question bank to improve architecture discovery completeness, ownership tagging and accountability, and connectivity and data-flow clarity

• Update the assessment output template to improve usability

• Update the control methodology guidance to better define preliminary assessments and requirements to move from pilot to production (“production readiness” gating concepts)

Secondary Projects:

• Run shadow assessments on previously assessed tools using the updated templates; summarize gaps and improvement opportunities

• Draft an updated AI governance onboarding guide to help new stakeholders adopt the process quickly

• Create a simplified self-service guide for smaller/lower-complexity tools

Preferred/Desired Qualifications:   

• Familiarity with governance, risk, compliance, audit, or control frameworks (coursework or internship experience)
