Strengthen oversight, satisfy regulators, or embed governance into AI programs
AI in financial services is no longer experimental. Boards are asking about explainability. Regulators are asking about model validation. Internal audit is asking about controls. We help you build model risk and governance capabilities internally and at speed.
Our AI governance consultants understand how AI intersects with risk.
AI governance and model risk are increasingly interconnected.
Storm2 supports demand for model risk management contractors across:
-
Model validation and independent review
-
Stress testing and performance monitoring
-
Algorithmic bias assessment
-
Documentation remediation
-
Internal audit support
-
Regulatory response preparation
These contractors embed within risk, data, compliance, and technology teams to ensure AI systems meet governance standards.
What Does an AI Governance Consultant Do?
An AI governance consultant designs, implements, and strengthens oversight frameworks for AI systems within regulated environments.
This typically includes:
-
AI risk assessment frameworks
-
Model validation and monitoring controls
-
Explainability and transparency documentation
-
Alignment to NIST AI RMF and regulatory guidance
-
AI policy and governance operating models
-
Audit-ready reporting structures
In financial services, this is not theoretical work. It is control-based, evidence-backed, and regulator-facing.
Who to hire for AI governance?
This is one of the most common questions we hear from financial services leaders.
The answer depends on your regulatory exposure and AI maturity.
You may need:
-
A Head of AI Governance to define enterprise oversight
-
A Model Risk Lead to strengthen validation controls
-
An AI Risk & Controls Specialist to embed governance into delivery
-
An Algorithmic Assurance Consultant for independent testing
-
An AI Compliance Lead aligned to regulatory policy
