AI Interim Management & Programme Delivery for Financial Services
Interim AI Governance | EU AI Act Implementation | AI Compliance Management | DORA Integration | Regulatory Remediation
Experienced AI Regulatory Leadership When Your Organisation Needs It
Artificial intelligence is transforming the financial services industry. Banks, insurance companies, asset managers, investment firms, payment institutions and other regulated financial services providers increasingly rely on AI for creditworthiness assessments, insurance pricing, investment management, fraud detection, anti-money laundering and operational processes.
At the same time, the European Union’s Artificial Intelligence Act (EU AI Act), Germany’s AI Market Surveillance and Innovation Promotion Act (KI-MIG), the Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) and existing financial-sector legislation introduce significant challenges for governance, risk management, compliance and internal controls.
Understanding regulatory requirements is only the first step. Financial institutions must also organise, manage and successfully deliver their AI governance and compliance implementation programmes.
These programmes often require additional specialist expertise, experienced leadership and effective coordination between business functions, Compliance, Risk Management, ICT, Information Security, Data Protection and Internal Audit.
Existing management and control functions may lack sufficient capacity to manage complex implementation projects alongside their ongoing responsibilities.
Leitner & Associates, a professional service of Andreas Leitner GmbH, provides specialist AI Interim Management & Programme Delivery services for banks, insurance companies, asset managers, investment firms, leasing and factoring companies, payment institutions and other regulated financial services providers.
We support financial institutions through temporary management assignments, regulatory implementation programme leadership, AI governance development, DORA integration and structured remediation of identified deficiencies.
Our engagements are tailored to the institution’s business model, regulatory obligations, implementation priorities and available internal resources.
Experienced leadership. Practical implementation. Measurable progress.

AI Interim Management: Bridging the Gap Between Regulatory Requirements and Operational Implementation
The effective implementation of AI regulatory requirements involves several organisational functions and demands a coordinated approach.
Institutions must identify AI applications, determine their regulatory classification, establish governance arrangements, assess risks, implement controls, develop documentation, train relevant personnel and maintain evidence of compliance.
These tasks can create substantial additional workloads, particularly where organisations are simultaneously implementing DORA requirements, enhancing existing risk management frameworks or addressing regulatory findings.
Temporary specialist management can help financial institutions overcome resource constraints and maintain implementation momentum.
Our interim management services are designed to provide:
- Additional management and implementation capacity
- Specialist knowledge of AI-related financial-sector regulation
- Coordination of cross-functional implementation programmes
- Clearly defined project objectives and responsibilities
- Structured regulatory implementation roadmaps
- Effective management of milestones, dependencies and deliverables
- Monitoring and reporting of implementation progress
- Prioritisation and resolution of regulatory deficiencies
- Documentation of decisions, controls and implementation evidence
- Structured knowledge transfer and handover to permanent personnel
We support the institution’s existing governance arrangements and operate within an agreed mandate.
Regulatory accountability remains with the financial institution and its responsible governing bodies.
Our AI Interim Management & Programme Delivery Services
1. Interim Head of AI Governance
Establish, coordinate and develop the organisation’s AI governance framework.
Financial institutions need appropriate governance arrangements to ensure that artificial intelligence is developed, procured, deployed and used in accordance with applicable regulatory requirements.
An Interim Head of AI Governance can provide temporary leadership during the establishment or enhancement of these arrangements.
Our services may include:
- Development and implementation of an AI governance framework
- Coordination of the organisation’s AI strategy and governance roadmap
- Definition of governance responsibilities and decision-making structures

Your benefit: Structured leadership for establishing operational AI governance arrangements without requiring the immediate creation of a permanent management position.
2. Interim AI Compliance & Risk Manager
Manage AI-related regulatory obligations, risk assessments and compliance activities.
The EU AI Act introduces obligations that vary according to the intended purpose, risk classification and operator role associated with individual AI systems.
These requirements must be considered alongside existing financial-sector governance, risk management and compliance obligations.
An Interim AI Compliance & Risk Manager can coordinate the identification, assessment and implementation of relevant regulatory requirements.
Our services include:
- EU AI Act applicability and compliance assessments
- Assessment of obligations under KI-MIG and relevant financial-sector regulation
- Maintenance of AI regulatory requirements matrices
- Establishment of AI risk assessment methodologies

We focus on integrating AI-related risk and compliance arrangements into the institution’s existing governance framework.
Typical deliverables: AI compliance framework, regulatory obligations register, AI risk assessment methodology, risk and control matrix, compliance monitoring plan and management reporting.
Your benefit: Additional specialist capacity for managing AI-related regulatory compliance and risk management activities.
3. EU AI Act Implementation Programme Manager
Lead the structured implementation of EU AI Act requirements across your organisation.
The implementation of the EU AI Act may involve multiple departments, workstreams and dependencies.
These can include AI inventories, regulatory classification, governance policies, high-risk AI compliance, staff training, third-party risk management, internal controls and documentation.
Without effective programme management, responsibilities may remain unclear, implementation activities may become fragmented and critical milestones may be missed.
An AI Act Implementation Programme Manager provides coordination and delivery oversight across the institution’s implementation activities.
Our programme delivery services include:
- Establishment of an EU AI Act implementation programme
- Definition of programme objectives and scope
- Identification of applicable regulatory obligations and deadlines

Your benefit: Coordinated programme delivery with defined responsibilities, transparent progress and a structured approach to regulatory implementation.
4. Interim AI & DORA Integration Lead
Integrate AI-related ICT risks into existing digital operational resilience arrangements.
Artificial intelligence introduces ICT risks throughout the system lifecycle, including data processing, model development, procurement, deployment, operation and decommissioning.
Financial entities subject to DORA must address relevant AI-related ICT risks within their existing ICT risk management and operational resilience frameworks.
In December 2025, BaFin published non-binding guidance on ICT risks associated with the use of artificial intelligence in financial institutions.
An Interim AI & DORA Integration Lead can coordinate the implementation of relevant AI-related ICT risk controls and their integration into existing DORA arrangements.
Our services include:

- Enhancement of incident management and escalation arrangements
- Coordination of resilience, continuity and recovery considerations
- Development of ICT control documentation and reporting
- Monitoring of implementation and remediation activities
The mandate can be structured around a specific DORA integration project or a wider AI governance programme.
Typical deliverables: AI & DORA integration plan, ICT risk and control matrix, implementation tracker, updated operating procedures, third-party risk documentation and management reporting.
Your benefit: Coordinated implementation of AI-related ICT risk controls within the organisation’s existing digital operational resilience framework.
5. AI Regulatory Remediation Manager
Drive the implementation of corrective measures arising from audits, regulatory assessments and supervisory findings.
Internal audits, compliance reviews and supervisory examinations may identify deficiencies in AI governance, risk management, operational controls and regulatory documentation.
Addressing these deficiencies requires more than preparing a corrective action plan.
Institutions must identify root causes, establish appropriate measures, assign responsibilities, monitor implementation and maintain evidence of remediation.
An AI Regulatory Remediation Manager provides temporary programme leadership for the structured resolution of identified deficiencies.
Our services include:
- Assessment and prioritisation of audit and supervisory findings
- Root cause analysis of regulatory and control deficiencies
- Development of remediation plans and workstreams
- Assignment of action owners and milestones
- Coordination of business and control functions
- Monitoring of corrective action implementation
- Escalation of overdue or ineffective measures
- Development and revision of policies and procedures
- Coordination of control implementation and testing
- Maintenance of remediation evidence
- Preparation of management and supervisory status reporting
- Coordination of independent effectiveness reviews where appropriate
Our approach focuses on sustainable remediation rather than temporary corrective measures alone.
Typical deliverables: Findings register, root cause assessments, remediation roadmap, corrective action tracker, implementation evidence, management status reports and closure documentation.
Your benefit: Structured and traceable remediation, with clearly allocated responsibilities and documented implementation progress.
6. Interim AI Third-Party Risk Manager
Strengthen governance and control over external AI service providers and technology dependencies.
Financial institutions increasingly rely on external software providers, cloud-based AI platforms, generative AI services and other third-party technology solutions.
These arrangements may introduce operational dependencies, cybersecurity risks, data protection considerations and complex regulatory responsibilities.
An Interim AI Third-Party Risk Manager can support the assessment, control and monitoring of relevant external AI service relationships.
Our services include:
- Identification and classification of external AI service providers
- Assessment of provider and deployer responsibilities
- AI-related third-party risk assessments
- Due diligence of AI suppliers and service arrangements
- Coordination of information security and ICT risk reviews
- Assessment of relevant DORA requirements
- Review of applicable contractual risk controls
- Establishment of supplier monitoring procedures
- Assessment of concentration risks and dependencies
- Coordination of incident and escalation arrangements
- Support for exit planning and continuity considerations
- Documentation and management reporting
The applicable regulatory requirements depend on the nature of the services, contractual arrangements and regulatory status of the financial institution.
Typical deliverables: AI third-party risk register, supplier assessment framework, due diligence documentation, contractual controls checklist, monitoring plan and management reports.
Your benefit: Additional specialist management capacity for controlling AI-related third-party risks and operational dependencies.

Frequently Asked Questions About AI Interim Management
What is AI Interim Management?
AI Interim Management involves the temporary deployment of experienced professionals to lead, coordinate or support AI governance, regulatory compliance and implementation activities.
Assignments may include managing AI Act implementation programmes, establishing governance frameworks, coordinating risk and compliance activities, integrating AI-related DORA controls or managing regulatory remediation projects.
When should a financial institution consider an Interim AI Manager?
An interim manager may be appropriate when an organisation faces additional regulatory implementation requirements, a shortage of specialist resources, complex cross-functional projects or significant remediation obligations.
Temporary management support can also be useful when establishing new AI governance arrangements or bridging the period before a permanent position is filled.
Is an AI Officer mandatory under the EU AI Act?
No. The EU AI Act does not generally require every financial institution to appoint a dedicated AI Officer.
However, organisations must allocate appropriate responsibilities and meet the governance, risk management and control requirements applicable to their activities.
An Interim AI Governance Manager is a practical organisational role, not a universally prescribed statutory appointment.
What does an EU AI Act Implementation Programme Manager do?
An AI Act Implementation Programme Manager coordinates the implementation of applicable regulatory requirements across relevant organisational functions.
Typical responsibilities include establishing implementation plans, defining workstreams, assigning responsibilities, monitoring milestones, coordinating documentation and controls, managing implementation risks and reporting to senior management.
What is the difference between AI Consulting and AI Interim Management?
AI Consulting generally focuses on specialist advice, framework design, regulatory analysis and implementation support.
AI Interim Management provides temporary operational leadership or management capacity within a defined mandate.
An interim manager may coordinate teams, manage programme milestones, oversee implementation activities and provide ongoing reporting throughout the assignment.
The services can complement one another.
Can an Interim AI Manager assume statutory management responsibilities?
An interim manager can perform agreed operational and management-support activities within the institution’s governance framework.
However, appointing an external professional does not automatically transfer statutory responsibilities from the institution or its management body.
Any appointment to a regulated function or position must be assessed against applicable legal, supervisory and organisational requirements.
Can AI compliance implementation be outsourced?
Certain implementation, monitoring and support activities can be provided externally, subject to applicable legal and contractual requirements.
Whether an arrangement constitutes regulated outsourcing, the provision of an ICT service or another form of external support depends on its actual scope and circumstances.
The institution remains responsible for meeting its applicable statutory obligations.
How long does an AI interim management assignment last?
The duration depends on the institution’s requirements, implementation maturity and agreed scope.
Assignments may involve short-term specialist support or longer programmes extending over several months.
Some mandates may be structured over approximately three to twelve months, but there is no universal duration. The engagement should be designed around the work required rather than an arbitrary timeframe.
Is full-time interim management necessary?
Not necessarily.
Some institutions require dedicated full-time programme leadership, while others may benefit from part-time or fractional interim management.
The appropriate model depends on programme complexity, internal resources, regulatory deadlines and the level of operational involvement required.
Can an Interim AI Manager support DORA implementation?
Yes. An interim manager can coordinate the integration of AI-related ICT risks into an institution’s existing DORA risk management and operational resilience arrangements.
This may involve information security, ICT third-party risk management, lifecycle controls, incident management, resilience and relevant regulatory documentation.
The services must be aligned with the institution’s applicable DORA obligations.
Can Leitner & Associates support remediation of BaFin findings?
Yes. We support the development and implementation of corrective action programmes addressing relevant governance, risk management, documentation and control deficiencies.
This can include root cause analysis, remediation planning, project coordination, monitoring, management reporting and preparation of implementation evidence.
The service does not guarantee acceptance of corrective measures by BaFin or any other supervisory authority.
What is the difference between Interim Management and Managed Compliance Services?
Interim Management is typically a time-limited engagement focused on a particular role, implementation programme or organisational transition.
Managed Compliance Services provide recurring support for defined activities such as regulatory monitoring, documentation maintenance, compliance controls and reporting.
A temporary interim assignment may be followed by an ongoing managed service arrangement where appropriate.
What happens when an interim assignment ends?
The engagement should conclude with a structured handover of responsibilities, documentation, open actions and relevant knowledge.
This may include a completion report, updated procedures, implementation records, management reporting and transfer of outstanding tasks to permanent personnel.
The objective is to support continuity after the interim engagement.
