• Support the project manager in planning and tracking delivery across multiple AI projects, maintaining project plans, action logs, RAID logs, and status reports.
• Partner with technical leads and team members to translate client needs into clear, actionable tasks, and monitor execution against agreed timelines and scope.
• Troubleshoot delivery issues as they arise, helping to unblock dependencies, escalate risks, and ensure corrective actions are clearly owned and tracked to completion.
• Help drive quality and consistency by supporting reviews, testing and validation activities, documentation, and adherence to delivery standards and methods.
• Contribute to internal knowledge sharing and continuous improvement within the AI Practice by capturing lessons learned and helping to develop playbooks and reusable assets.
• Support cross-service coordination across AI strategy, AI assistants, custom models, process optimization, policy and procedure optimization, and data standardization/tagging initiatives.

• 3+ years of experience working in technical or engineering-focused environments supporting structured project delivery.
• Proven track record of coordinating activities across multiple teams and projects simultaneously, including stakeholder management, action tracking, and status reporting.
• Experience collaborating closely with IT, OT, data/AI, or engineering teams in enterprise or industrial settings.
• Exposure to cloud-based and data/analytics platforms (e.g., Azure, AWS, GCP, data platforms, BI/analytics tools); experience in the maritime or industrial sectors is a plus.

Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities

• Demonstrated ability to coordinate activities across multiple technical projects, teams, and stakeholder groups, ensuring alignment on priorities, timelines, and deliverables.
• Strong organizational and project support skills, including maintaining project plans, action and RAID logs, documentation repositories, and structured status reports.
• Hands-on experience with common AI/data and IT/OT technology environments, including cloud platforms (Azure, AWS, GCP), data platforms, and analytics/BI tools (e.g., Power BI, Tableau).
• Ability to understand and communicate technical concepts, architectures, and workflows, and translate them into clear tasks and follow-up actions for delivery teams.
• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills, with confidence interacting with technical specialists, business stakeholders, and client counterparts.
• Solid analytical and problem-solving skills, with a structured, detail-oriented approach to tracking issues, dependencies, and risks.
• Familiarity with collaboration and delivery tools such as Jira, Confluence, and Git-based repositories to support transparent and traceable project execution.
• Experience working with distributed, international teams and comfort operating in a fast-moving environment with evolving priorities (strongly preferred).
