About The Position

Sia/LBG is seeking an experienced AI/Digital Project Manager / Scrum Master to support early-stage AI and digital initiatives across operational teams at a client’s manufacturing site. This role will help guide agile delivery for proof-of-concept and MVP projects involving emerging technologies involving AI-enabled tools. As the AI/Digital Project Manager / Scrum Master, you will play a key role in helping our client advance early-stage AI and digital initiatives from concept through proof of concept and MVP delivery. You will work closely with site-based operations teams, product owners, technical and manufacturing teams, data specialists, cybersecurity, compliance, and business stakeholders to ensure new AI-enabled solutions are practical, well-prioritized, and aligned to real operational needs. In this role, you will facilitate agile ways of working across AI and digital teams, including sprint planning, daily stand-ups, backlog refinement, sprint reviews, and retrospectives. You will help teams clarify priorities, define sprint goals, remove blockers, manage dependencies, and maintain momentum in a fast-moving and often ambiguous environment. Your focus will be on enabling delivery rather than serving as the technical expert; while familiarity with a wide-range of AI tools is valuable, this is not a data scientist or AI engineering role. You will help bridge the gap between operational teams and technical delivery teams, ensuring that AI proof-of-concepts and MVPs are grounded in real business problems and designed for adoption. As teams explore emerging AI capabilities, you will also promote awareness of important delivery considerations, including data availability, latency, compute constraints, model reliability, cybersecurity risks, and responsible use of AI. Through strong facilitation, stakeholder management, and agile leadership, you will help our client deliver AI and digital solutions that are structured, secure, and impactful.
