BUSINESS UNIT STATEMENT To support our business strategy and digital transformation, AXA is setting up a new information security practice to ensure a coordinated response to the increasing threat of cybersecurity, enabling consistent decision-making across the organization.

Our vision of information security is to protect our stakeholders by securing our information resources, managing our cyber risks and enabling effective and efficient business strategies that are fully sponsored by executives and supported by all AXA employees.

MISSION

Within the AXA Group Information Security team, you will be at the forefront of securing Artificial Intelligence across the organization. Following foundational work in 2025 to establish an AI Security Framework, 2026 is a critical year focused on driving adoption, refining our processes, and defining the technical security strategy for next-generation AI, including agentic systems.

As the Senior Project Manager, you will lead this key initiative, ensuring that AXAs use of AI is not only innovative but also secure by design.

Key Objectives

Your primary mission for the first half of 2026 will be to:

- Drive Framework Adoption: Successfully guide and support all AXA entities in adopting the AI Security Framework as part of the "Triathlon Race" initiative, ensuring they can effectively assess and manage AI-related risks.
- Integrate AI Security into Development: Oversee the update of the Secure Software Development LifeCycle (SSDLC)



to formally include specific security testing activities for AI systems.
- Define the AI Guardrails Strategy: Lead the effort to test, select, and define a comprehensive strategy for deploying AI Guardrails, in close collaboration with Group Data AI (GDAI), CyberDefense, and other key stakeholders.
- Shape the Future of Agentic AI Security: Provide expert security-by-design guidance for the development of AXAs strategic "Agentic Platform."

Key Responsibilities To achieve these objectives, you will be responsible for:

- Program and Stakeholder Management:
- Steer the project by animating weekly operational meetings and bi-monthly follow-ups.
- Prepare and present progress, risks, and results to the AI Security Steering Committee and contribute to the broader OneTrust program reporting.
- Act as the central point of contact, coordinating between Group Information Security, GDAI, CyberDefense, GO Security, and entity representatives.

- Entity Support and Evaluation:

- Manage the "Triathlon Race" evaluation process for 41 entities, reviewing their AI risk assessments and use case evidence.
- Provide actionable feedback to each entity through dedicated one-page reports to help them achieve compliance and improve their security posture.

- Technical and Strategic Leadership:

- Lead workshops to integrate AI security requirements into the SSDLC process, drawing on industry standards like the OWASP AI Testing Guide.
- Manage the AI Guardrails Proof of Concept (POC),



from framing the tests and coordinating with vendors to consolidating results into a final strategy deck.
- Participate in strategic workshops to provide security recommendations for the Agentic Platform architecture and capabilities.
- (Optional) Oversee the update of the AI Security Framework to incorporate new threats and standards, preparing it for submission to the Policy Working Group (PWG).

QUALIFICATIONS

- Experience:
- 10+ years of experience in cybersecurity program or project management.
- Demonstrable, in-depth experience leading AI Security or Trustworthy AI initiatives within a large, complex organization.

- Technical Skills:

- Deep understanding of AI/ML-specific threats, vulnerabilities, and security controls (familiarity with OWASP Top 10 for LLMs/Agentic Applications is essential).
- Strong knowledge of risk management, security governance frameworks, and the Secure Software Development LifeCycle (SSDLC).
- Experience with security architecture, particularly in cloud environments, and an understanding of how to implement security-by-design.
- Experience in leading technical studies or Proofs of Concept (POCs) for security solutions.
