Over Unity

Salary guide

AI risk and compliance

Maps obligations under regimes such as the EU AI Act and ISO 42001 onto what a business is really doing.

Nothing published

Nothing published. The work is real and rising with the EU AI Act timetable, and it is still being advertised as risk, audit or regulatory affairs with AI mentioned in the body. Until that changes there is no honest number to give you.

How to price it anyway

An absent benchmark is not the same as an absent market. This work is being bought right now; it is simply being advertised under other titles, so the figures land in somebody else’s column.

The two things that work in its place: price from the adjacent discipline you would otherwise have hired, and price from the cost of the decision rather than the cost of the day. Neither is a benchmark. Both beat a number somebody invented so their page would rank.

If you want a figure for a specific brief, describe the role and we will tell you what we are actually seeing, and say plainly where we are guessing.

Why this one is hard to judge

The field is young, the certifications are new, and a confident summary of a regulation is not the same as having applied it.

That is the reason a rate alone tells you very little here. Two people quoting the same day rate for this work can be worth wildly different amounts to you, and the difference does not show up in either of their profiles.
