From high-speed trains, metros, monorails, and trams, to turnkey systems, services, infrastructure, signalling and digital mobility, we offer our diverse customers the broadest portfolio in the industry. Every day, more than 80 000 colleagues lead the way to greener and smarter mobility worldwide, connecting cities as we reduce carbon and replace cars. As part of Alstom’s global digital transformation, our Data Science & AI team plays a strategic role in accelerating innovation, operational excellence, and enterprise‑wide adoption of AI‑driven solutions.

Take on a new challenge and apply your Project Management skills in the exciting 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 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 contribute to solution design discussions, assist in backlog refinement, and help ensure smooth execution and adoption of digital initiatives.

We’ll look to you for:

• Translating business needs into clear, functional and non‑functional specifications and high‑quality documentation
• Scoping AI use cases with stakeholders and defining success metrics/KPIs and acceptance criteria
• Supporting project planning, scheduling, milestone tracking and dependency management
• Managing end‑to‑end project from identifying MakevsBuy, RFP launching & processing and lead the project
• Organising discovery workshops and design thinking sessions to identify, prioritise and refine AI opportunities
• Conducting stakeholder analysis, gap and impact assessments, and maintaining traceability across requirements
• Collaborating with DataScientists and DataEngineers, Architects, development teams and PMO to ensure alignment
• Ensure alignment on feasibility, requirements, dependencies and delivery constraints across teams
• Managing product backlogs (epics, features, user stories) and supporting Agile ceremonies in Jira/Azure DevOps/Confluence
• Preparing project artefacts (RAID logs, dashboards, status reports, documentation)
• Coordinating with cross‑functional teams to track deliverables and resolve issues.
• 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: communication, training coordination, onboarding and post‑deployment follow‑up
• Demonstrating curiosity, resilience, and a continuous‑learning mindset to evaluate new tools while ensuring value delivery
• Exposure to agentic AI platforms like Copilot Studio, M365 Copilot, Dataiku and LibreChat to support development of AI prototypes/PoCs will be a plus
