Your future role

Take on a new challenge and apply your Project Management expertise in the exciting and cutting-edge field of Data Science and Artificial Intelligence. You’ll work alongside collaborative and forward-thinking teammates.

You'll play a pivotal role in ensuring the effective delivery of enterprise-grade digital and AI-enabled initiatives to support operational excellence at Alstom. Day-to-day, you’ll collaborate with cross-functional stakeholders to shape AI use cases end-to-end— from problem framing and feasibility, through requirements and backlog refinement, to planning and tracking project activities, managing timelines and milestones, and supporting coordination across business, PMO, and delivery teams.

You’ll specifically take care of solution design discussions, assisting in backlog refinement, and ensuring smooth execution and adoption of digital initiatives, but also managing project artifacts and facilitating change management activities.

• Organising discovery workshops and design thinking sessions to identify, prioritise, and refine AI opportunities

• Collaborating with Data Scientists, Data Engineers, Architects, development teams, and PMO to ensure alignment

• Managing product backlogs (epics, features, user stories) and supporting Agile ceremonies in Jira/Azure DevOps/Confluence

• Preparing project artifacts (RAID logs, dashboards, status reports, documentation)

• Driving UAT planning, test coordination, defect management, training, and adoption activities

• Identifying and tracking risks across scope, timelines, resources, governance, and compliance

• Supporting change management activities, including communication, training coordination, onboarding, and post-deployment follow-up
