About the role
As an AI Governance & Compliance Specialist at ProActys, you sit at the critical intersection of technology, regulation, and ethics. With the EU AI Act coming into force, organisations across Switzerland and Europe urgently need experts who can translate regulatory requirements into practical, implementable governance frameworks.
You will work with clients ranging from financial institutions to healthcare providers and public-sector bodies, helping them classify their AI systems, assess risks, establish oversight structures, and build the documentation and processes required for full compliance — all while keeping innovation moving forward.
Key responsibilities
Conduct AI system inventories and risk classifications according to the EU AI Act's tiered risk framework (unacceptable, high-risk, limited, minimal)
Design and implement AI governance frameworks including policies, roles, responsibilities, escalation paths, and audit procedures
Perform AI impact assessments (AIIAs) and fundamental rights impact assessments for high-risk AI systems
Develop compliance documentation packages — technical files, conformity assessments, human oversight protocols, and transparency reports
Advise clients on data governance requirements for AI, including GDPR intersections, data quality standards, and bias mitigation strategies
Monitor evolving AI regulations across the EU, Switzerland, and key international markets, translating updates into actionable client guidance
Deliver training workshops and awareness programmes on responsible AI principles for technical teams, management, and boards of directors
Your profile
Master's degree or higher in Law, Public Policy, Information Systems, Data Science, or a related interdisciplinary field
3+ years of experience in AI governance, regulatory compliance, data protection (GDPR), or technology risk management
Deep knowledge of the EU AI Act, including its classification system, obligations for providers and deployers, and timeline for implementation
Familiarity with AI governance standards and frameworks — ISO 42001, NIST AI RMF, OECD AI Principles, IEEE EAD
Strong ability to communicate complex regulatory concepts to both technical and non-technical audiences
Fluent in English; German and/or French is a strong plus
Swiss work permit or EU/EFTA citizenship
Nice to have
CIPP/E, CIPM, or other IAPP privacy certifications
Experience with AI ethics boards or responsible AI committees in corporate or public-sector settings
Technical understanding of ML/AI systems — enough to assess model documentation, bias reports, and performance metrics
Knowledge of sector-specific regulations for AI (DORA for financial services, MDR for medical devices, sectoral guidance for pharma)
Prior consulting experience at a Big Four, law firm, or specialist advisory practice
