AI Strategy & Governance Recruitment | CB Resourcing

Specialist Recruitment for AI Enablement, Strategy and Governance Roles

AI is transforming knowledge, information and research functions faster than almost any other change the sector has seen. CB Resourcing sits at the centre of that shift, not just as recruiters, but as founders of the KIMRA Conference and producers of industry-leading benchmarks on knowledge management operating models. Our data shows a clear and growing trend: knowledge management professionals are increasingly taking on AI strategy and AI governance as a core part of their role, not a side project bolted on top of it.

Why Knowledge Management Professionals Are Moving Into AI

Our placement data and benchmarking work consistently point to the same pattern: organisations getting AI adoption right are the ones putting knowledge management expertise at the centre of it. Trusted content, clear provenance, sound data governance and well-managed metadata are the foundation AI is built on, and KM professionals already own that foundation.

As a result, we're seeing a growing share of our knowledge management candidate base move into roles where AI strategy or AI governance is now a defined, central part of the job, rather than an informal add-on. This isn't a separate profession emerging from nowhere. It's the natural evolution of the knowledge management discipline itself.

Roles We Recruit For

Head of AI Governance

Industry-Specific AI Recruitment Expertise

We understand that AI governance and strategy needs look different depending on the sector:

Law firms - balancing client confidentiality, provenance and compliance with the drive for AI-enabled research and drafting
Financial services - AI governance frameworks that satisfy regulatory scrutiny while enabling genuine efficiency gains
Professional services and consultancies - scaling AI adoption without losing the trust and quality that underpins client relationships
Information and data vendors - building AI governance directly into products and platforms, not just internal process

Backed By Our Own Data and Community

CB Resourcing's view on AI recruitment isn't guesswork. It's grounded in:

KIMRA Conference - bringing together leaders, practitioners, suppliers and analysts to address how AI is transforming knowledge and research functions
Our knowledge management operating model benchmarks - giving a clear, evidence-based view of how functions are structured and resourced as AI adoption scales
Our placement data - tracking how KM roles themselves are evolving to include AI strategy and governance responsibilities

This combination gives us a genuinely current view of where AI-related hiring is heading, not a generic recruitment pitch retrofitted onto a trend.
