AI Risk Jobs
AI risk roles identify, measure, and manage the risks that AI and machine-learning systems create across the enterprise.
AI risk roles bring discipline to everything that can go wrong when an organization relies on AI: model failure, bias, security, regulatory exposure, and the operational risk of automated decisions at scale. They build the AI risk register, set risk appetite, validate and monitor models, and feed the enterprise risk picture. The discipline draws on model risk management, where banking's SR 11-7 has long set the bar, and extends it to machine-learning and generative systems.
As models multiply, AI risk has become one of the most directly transferable skill sets in the field, the bridge between quantitative work and governance.
AI Risk Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
What does an AI risk role do?
Identifies, measures, and manages the risks AI systems create, model failure, bias, security, and regulatory exposure, by building risk registers, validating models, and monitoring them in production.
Is AI risk related to model risk management?
Yes. AI risk builds on model risk management practice, including the SR 11-7 standard from banking, and extends it to machine-learning and generative-AI models.

AI Risk Jobs jobs: what the market looks like right now
A snapshot built from the 50 AI Risk Jobs roles currently on this page.
What these roles pay by level
| Level | Median midpoint | Postings |
|---|---|---|
| Senior / lead / manager | $175k | 9 |
| Director | $238k | 5 |
How these figures were calculated, and sources
Primary source: our own board. Every figure above is the median midpoint of the salary ranges published in the live postings on this page. Nothing is estimated, modeled, or carried over from a previous month. It is recalculated each time the board refreshes.
What is included. Only postings that publish a salary range. Hourly, weekly and monthly rates are annualised (2,080 hours, 52 weeks, 12 months). Ranges below $20,000 a year are excluded as data-entry placeholders. A seniority band is shown only when at least five postings support it; mid-level and executive / c-suite are present on this page but below that threshold, so no median is published for those bands.
What this is not. These are advertised ranges, not accepted offers. Advertised ranges tend to run wider than what is actually paid, and roles that do not publish a range are missing from the calculation entirely, which can bias the result upward.
For an independent benchmark, compare against the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics Occupational Employment and Wage Statistics for SOC 13-1041 — Compliance Officers, published annually at bls.gov/oes. BLS reports actual wages across all employers rather than advertised ranges, so its medians normally sit below job-board figures.

Certifications that come up most
