Toronto, Ontario, Canada | Full-Time, Permanent | Hybrid

Salary: $90,000 – $110,000 per year + Full Benefits

 

We are seeking an experienced professional to join a growing Risk & Advisory practice with our client focused on next-generation risk, governance, and assurance capabilities.

This newly created role is ideal for individuals who want to work at the intersection of AI, risk, governance, and assurance—helping organizations navigate increasing scrutiny from boards, regulators, and enterprise clients.

You will play a key role in helping clients implement practical governance and risk management structures for AI and emerging technologies.
