AI Transformation Manager

Sia’s Strategy & Management Consulting global footprint and expertise in more than 40 sectors and services allow us to enhance our clients' businesses worldwide. We guide their projects and initiatives in strategy, business transformation, IT & digital strategy.

Sia supports Energy & Utilities, Transportation, and Industrials in driving transformation, innovation, and competitiveness. Since 2000, we have guided energy companies (oil & gas and utilities), transportation, industrial and processes manufacturing leaders through growth strategies, business transformation, digital modernization, energy transition, regulatory challenges, application of AI technologies, and Industry 4.0 advancements. Our industry subject matter experts help our clients to adapt, innovate, and lead in an evolving landscape.

We're looking for an AI Transformation Manager to join Sia's ETI practice and help clients across energy, transportation, and industrial sectors successfully adopt and scale AI across their organizations.

This is a business- and strategy-facing role. You'll work with executives and operational leaders to identify where AI can create value, build the roadmap to get there, and lead clients through the change required to make adoption stick. You are not expected to write production code or build models yourself. Your value is knowing what today's AI tools and platforms can realistically do, translating that into a business case, and leading the organizational change that turns a pilot into an operating reality.

You'll join a growing ETI team, working day to day alongside Applied AI Leads and other Sia consultants who own the technical build, so you can focus on where you add the most value: strategy, stakeholder alignment, and delivery leadership.
