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.

Evaluate & Guide AI Tool Adoption 

• Maintain working knowledge of Generative AI, AI agents, copilots, and automation platforms so you can evaluate options and advise clients, without needing to build or configure them yourself 

• Assess vendor and platform options and recommend practical enterprise applications 

• Support organizations in moving from pilot to production by aligning stakeholders, timelines, and change readiness, working closely with the technical build team 

Business Process Improvement 

• Analyze existing workflows and identify opportunities for automation and operational improvement 

• Lead process redesign initiatives leveraging AI and digital technologies 

• Build repeatable frameworks, playbooks, and documentation that enable sustainable transformation 

Required 

• 6-10+ years of experience in management consulting, business transformation, technology consulting, operations, or digital transformation 

• Experience leading complex cross-functional programs from strategy through implementation 

• Experience identifying business process improvement opportunities and driving organizational change
