About Us:

RSI Security operates an independent Certification Body (CB) aligned with ISO/IEC 17021-1 and pursuing accreditation for ISO/IEC 42001 (Artificial Intelligence Management Systems). RSI also operates CMMC C3PAO Level 2 assessment activities aligned with ISO/IEC 17020 requirements. To preserve independence and accreditation integrity, RSI maintains formal structural separation between certification, inspection, and advisory entities. Oversight of impartiality risks is exercised through an independent Impartiality Committee.

About the Role:

The External AI / Governance Subject Matter Expert serves as a voting member of the RSIS Impartiality Committee. This is a governance oversight role — not an audit, consulting, advisory, sales, or certification decision function.
The Committee provides independent oversight of:
  • Structural impartiality risks
  • Commercial influence risks
  • Advisory-to-assessment separation controls
  • Conflict-of-interest trends
  • Governance adequacy under ISO/IEC 17021-1 and ISO/IEC 17020
Committee members do not:
  • Participate in audit execution
  • Perform certification decisions
  • Engage in consulting for RSIS certification clients
  • Influence engagement acceptance decisions
Key Responsibilities
  • Review High and Critical impartiality risks presented by the Scheme Manager
  • Evaluate structural independence safeguards
  • Challenge management where risk mitigation is insufficient
  • Ensure no single interest predominates within the Certification Body
  • Escalate unresolved structural risks to the Governing Authority
  • Participate in periodic meetings (minimum quarterly)
  • Provide technical perspective on AI governance risk concentration

Governance Authority

Committee members:
  • Hold voting authority within the Committee
  • Operate independently from management
  • May request documentation necessary to discharge oversight responsibilities
  • Have authority to escalate unresolved concerns in accordance with the Committee Charter

Competence Requirements

Candidates must demonstrate:
  • 10+ years in AI governance, enterprise risk, data governance, cybersecurity governance, or regulatory oversight
  • Demonstrated understanding of AI lifecycle governance and risk management
  • Familiarity with management system oversight principles
  • Ability to operate at board / governance oversight level
  • Independence from RSI advisory revenue streams
Preferred:
  • Experience with ISO standards (27001, 9001, 42001, 17021, 17020)
  • Experience serving on governance boards or oversight committees
  • Background in regulatory, public interest, or independent risk oversight roles

Independence Requirements

  • Prior to appointment, candidates must:
  • Complete formal Conflict of Interest screening
  • Disclose advisory or financial relationships with RSI entities
  • Commit to ongoing annual independence attestations
  • Agree not to perform advisory services for RSIS certification clients during tenure
Cooling-off and recusal requirements apply where applicable.

Term & Review

Appointments are for a two-year term, renewable once, subject to continued independence verification and performance review in accordance with the Impartiality Committee Charter.
RSI Security is an Equal Opportunity Employer. We prioritize competence, qualifications, and the integrity of the certification process in all hiring decisions.
