• Translate high-level or loosely defined requests into project scopes, requirements, user stories, acceptance criteria, and delivery plans.
• Own and prioritize product backlogs based on business value, technical feasibility, dependencies, risk, and team capacity.
• Lead AI initiatives through discovery, planning, development, testing, rollout, training, and adoption.
• Create and deliver polished presentations, proposals, business cases, project updates, and executive-level communications.
• Build stakeholder alignment and manage expectations regarding scope, timelines, priorities, AI capabilities, and data requirements.
• Partner closely with AI engineers, developers, data professionals, architects, business analysts, and subject-matter experts.
• Maintain clear visibility into project progress, ownership, risks, dependencies, decisions, and next steps.
• Proactively identify roadblocks and shifting priorities, facilitate decisions, and hold project participants accountable for commitments.
• Support Agile ceremonies such as backlog refinement, sprint planning, reviews, retrospectives, and prioritization sessions.
• Coordinate multiple concurrent initiatives while ensuring the team remains focused on the highest-value work.
• Support solution testing and quality assurance by validating requirements and coordinating stakeholder feedback.
• Lead project demonstrations, training sessions, rollout communications, and post-launch feedback efforts.
• Help refine the AI team’s delivery processes, stakeholder-engagement model, and approach to evaluating new opportunities.
• Stay informed about emerging AI capabilities and help stakeholders understand their practical business applications and limitations.

Required Qualifications

• 5+ years of experience in project management, product ownership, business analysis, technology consulting, business operations, or a comparable stakeholder-facing role.
• Demonstrated experience leading complex, cross-functional technology or digital-transformation initiatives.
• Strong stakeholder-management skills and the confidence to independently lead meetings with business and technology leaders.
• Experience gathering requirements and translating business needs into defined priorities, user stories, project plans, and measurable outcomes.
• Working knowledge of Agile and Scrum practices, including sprint planning, backlog refinement, prioritization, and iterative delivery.
• Excellent written, verbal, and presentation skills, with the ability to communicate effectively with technical and nontechnical audiences.
• Strong business acumen and the ability to quickly understand processes across different organizational functions.
• Highly organized and proactive, with the ability to manage competing priorities without losing accountability or follow-through.
• Comfortable navigating ambiguity, asking challenging questions, and bringing structure to early-stage ideas.
• Tech-savvy and genuinely interested in artificial intelligence, automation, and emerging technologies.
• Experience creating polished presentations and communicating recommendations to leadership.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience supporting AI, machine learning, generative AI, automation, analytics, data, or software-development initiatives.
• Familiarity with AI solutions such as copilots, chatbots, semantic search, intelligent document processing, or retrieval-augmented generation.
• Experience evaluating and prioritizing technology use cases based on business value, feasibility, risk, and organizational readiness.
• Experience working within a large enterprise and coordinating initiatives across multiple business units.
• Background in energy, oil and gas, industrial operations, or another complex enterprise environment.
