Understanding of model explainability tools and frameworks (e.g., SHAP, LIME, model cards)

Experience applying concepts such as visual hierarchy, progressive disclosure, and behavioral feedback loops

Knowledge of global AI governance frameworks (e.g., EU AI Act, OECD AI Principles, ISO / IEC 42001)

Excellent communication skills and comfort working with legal, compliance, and technical teams

Required Certifications

Certified Ethical Emerging Technologist (CEET)

Human Factors Certification (e.g., CHFP or CPE)

Data Visualization or Information Design Certification – Such as Tableau Desktop Specialist or Nielsen Norman’s Visual Design for Data, supporting the creation of clear, interpretable AI outputs.

Experience translating policy or governance into usable interface patterns
