You will play a key role in testing and improving AI-generated regulatory compliance outputs, ensuring responses are accurate, well-grounded and aligned to customer expectations.

About the role

As a Legal & AI Analyst, you will act as a subject matter expert supporting the development and improvement of AI solutions in the regulatory compliance market.
