Job Title: AI Governance Graduate Officer

Location: Nigeria (Remote)
Employment Type: Contract

Overview

• The role is responsible for shaping, governing, testing, and coordinating the responsible deployment of AI systems powering Tongston and T-World. The purpose of the role is to ensure that AI tools, assistants, agents, knowledge-base interactions, and AI-enabled workflows are clearly defined, ethically governed, properly tested, and aligned to real product needs across Tongston’s four pillars: Enterprise, Media, Finance, and Entrepreneurial Education.
• The role owns the AI governance framework across the AI lifecycle, from use-case design and behaviour definition to prompt/KB interaction rules, knowledge-base admissibility, risk controls, output testing, governance registers, acceptance criteria, and release-readiness sign-off from a governance perspective. It ensures that AI systems are designed to improve user experience, support workflows, and uphold integrity, transparency, inclusiveness, safety, explainability, privacy, responsible data use.
• The role does not own production backend or AI engineering implementation. Instead, it defines the AI behaviour, governance rules, testing expectations, source-use boundaries, risk controls, and acceptance criteria that AI Engineering and technology teams need in order to implement reliable AI-enabled features. It also coordinates with Education, Data, AI Engineering, Back End, Front End, UI/UX, Legal/Governance, and other relevant teams to ensure that AI systems are well-specified, responsibly managed, properly tested, and suitable for live or pilot product environments.
• This role oversees AI governance testing, including hallucination review, bias review, safety review, KB admissibility review, source-use review, prompt/KB interaction review, weak-input testing, fallback testing, and escalation tracking. Where AI outputs are educational in nature, the role coordinates with Education AI Output Testers to ensure that governance-compliant outputs are also educationally accurate, curriculum-aligned, age-appropriate, pedagogically sound, and useful for users.
• The role strengthens Tongston’s Entrepreneurial Thinking Model, reward systems, knowledge-base governance, and AI-enabled product experiences by ensuring that AI design, governance, testing, and implementation-readiness are connected, documented, auditable, and continuously improved.

• Relevant training, certifications, bootcamps, or practical learning in project coordination, IT support, data analytics, QA/testing, AI tools, digital operations, or governance-related work will be an added advantage.
• Working understanding of AI systems in product environments, including LLMs, AI assistants, prompt design, prompt evaluation, basic retrieval/search, knowledge-base use, and how AI behaviour is defined, tested, and governed before implementation.
• Understanding of responsible AI concepts, including bias, fairness, explainability, transparency, safety, privacy, consent, access control, data minimisation, retention, IP/licensing, and how these translate into logs, registers, evaluation records, and audit trails.
• Understanding of knowledge-base governance for AI, including content sourcing, metadata tagging, attribution discipline, licensing labels, admissibility rules, basic retrieval concepts.
• Exposure to AI/workflow tools such as Flowise, Dify, LangChain, LangGraph, LlamaIndex, ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, open-source LLM interfaces, or similar tools for prototyping, testing, comparison, and evaluation.
• Exposure to governance and KB tools such as metadata sheets, source registers, licensing registers, admissibility logs, bias/hallucination logs, safety/risk registers, AI issue trackers, test logs, evidence packs, and evaluation sheets.
• Basic non-implementation awareness of API-based AI workflows, KB/retrieval systems, model routing, fallback logic, agent behaviour, and high-level Backend → AI → retrieval → database → frontend response flows.

Experience:

• Up to 2 years’ relevant experience in an internship, NYSC, trainee, graduate, assistant, or junior role is preferred, particularly in AI design support, data or analytics, knowledge-base management, product or digital platform support, research, QA/testing, or technical documentation.
• Experience supporting cross-functional teams and maintaining structured documentation (e.g., testing logs, issue trackers, audit trails, summaries, or compliance-related records) is an added advantage.

Technical Skills:

• Ability to support AI prompt design, structured testing, output review, failure-pattern identification, and evaluation criteria development.
• Ability to use approved AI/workflow tools such as Flowise, Dify, LangChain, ChatGPT-style tools, or similar platforms for prototyping, testing, documentation, and governance support.
• Ability to support knowledge-base governance, including metadata tagging, content organisation, source tracking, licensing labels, attribution records, and Green/Yellow/Red classification.
• Ability to maintain AI governance artefacts, including test logs, issue registers, bias/hallucination records, incident notes, content inventories, consent/attribution records, and performance summaries.
• Ability to review AI performance at a basic level by identifying strong vs weak outputs, recurring edge cases, user-confusion risks, and issues requiring escalation or refinement.
• Comfortable using spreadsheets, trackers, registers, and documentation tools to organise AI testing results, governance records, workflow notes, and stakeholder-ready summaries.

Attitude:

• Strong ethics and integrity; careful handling of sensitive data and model outputs.
• Detail-oriented, structured, and quality-focused (traceability, accuracy, repeatability).
• Proactive improvement mindset: flags risks early, proposes fixes, and learns quickly.
