JOB SUMMARY:

The Principal Consultant of AI Security will be responsible for providing architect-level thought leadership and expertise in securing enterprise AI programs, including AI models, applications, agents, data, and the pipelines and platforms they run on. Under the direction of AI Security leadership, the Principal Consultant will lead Trace3’s most complex client engagements in this domain, serve as a senior technical authority for AI security architecture across the Security Solutions practices, and turn that work into the reference architectures, offerings, and enablement that allow Trace3 associates, partners, and regional teams to help clients adopt and scale AI in a secure, resilient, and trustworthy manner.

SUMMARY OF ESSENTIAL JOB FUNCTIONS:

• Lead client engagements as the Subject Matter Expert (SME) across the full range of AI security services, including assessment, strategy, architecture, and design engagements spanning AI models, applications, agents, data, and the pipelines and platforms they run on, from discovery through executive readout.

• Engage with clients to assess needs and provide strategic, tactical, and operational recommendations that translate AI risk into business terms for CISO-, CIO-, and board-level audiences, and that position security as the enabler of the client’s AI program rather than a constraint on it.

• Own and evolve the practice’s AI security offerings, and author the reference architectures, standards, and design patterns that allow the Security Solutions practices to deliver one coherent AI security answer to a client rather than several overlapping ones.

• Collaborate with a multidisciplinary team across Security Solutions (Governance, Risk & Compliance; Identity; Cloud and Application Security; Data Security; Security Operations; Cyber Resiliency), Data & Analytics, Digital Consulting, Innovation, and Service Delivery to scope, design, and deliver programs, solutions, and services engagements that enable secure and responsible AI transformation.

• Develop and maintain Trace3’s point of view on emerging AI security problems, including trustworthy agents, agent-to-agent trust and delegation, non-human identity, and AI resilience, and contribute that point of view to Trace3’s solution plays and go-to-market initiatives.

• Develop and deliver enablement for regional solutions architects and sellers, including discovery and qualification guidance for AI security opportunities and delivery playbooks for standardized assessment work, such that AI security can be recognized, opened, and sold by the field without the Principal in every conversation.

• Foster and contribute to partnerships with AI security and platform vendors, hyperscalers, delivery partners, industry groups, and research institutions, influencing roadmaps, shaping joint offerings, and ensuring client and organizational needs are consistently exceeded.

• Advocate on behalf of Trace3 on the importance of AI secu
