Responsible AI Oversight Manager

At ATB, we exist to make it possible for our clients, team members and communities. Our purpose is more than aspirational. It's a real commitment we live every day through our values (what we call the ATB ID).

Life at ATB is about more than work. In fact, we’re consistently recognized as one of Canada's top employers thanks to our high-care, high-performance culture, upheld by the three commitments we make to our team members:

Impact in action: No matter where you are in the organization, you're empowered to make an impact in the lives of our clients and communities.

Thrive together: We want you—the unique, authentic you—to feel safe and celebrated at work. We're on a continuous journey to build the most flexible and inclusive programs.

Ready for tomorrow: We want to enable your success through interesting and challenging work, performance enablement, and learning and development.

About the role

This position has a hybrid work arrangement. On average, this means 1-2 days on-site per week. Please note that this is subject to change due to business priorities.

• Audit Readiness & Governance Reporting: Maintain rigorous, time-stamped intake records, approval logs, and decision documentation across tools to ensure full traceability for internal assurance and external regulatory reviews.

• Committee Management & Steering Oversight: Support and coordinate AI oversight and steering committees, structuring agendas, documenting governance decisions, and managing operational workflows to maintain cross-functional alignment across business, risk, and technology leadership.
