• Demonstrated experience successfully implementing and scaling AI solutions in a corporate environment.
• Proven track record of translating technology capabilities into measurable business outcomes.
• Experience operating within complex, matrixed, multinational organisations.
• Background gained within industrial, manufacturing, engineering, technology or large-scale service organisations preferred.
• Corporate leadership experience is strongly preferred over pure consulting experience.

• Deep understanding of Artificial Intelligence, Generative AI, machine learning and advanced analytics, including their practical business applications.
• Strong knowledge of business process transformation and organisational change management.
• Ability to bridge the gap between technical AI teams and business stakeholders.
• Experience defining AI use cases, value frameworks, adoption strategies and transformation roadmaps.

• Strong communication skills, capable of translating complex AI concepts into clear business language.
• Demonstrated ability to drive change, navigate ambiguity and build alignment across diverse stakeholder groups.
• Self-driven, entrepreneurial mindset with the ability to deliver through influence rather than formal people management.

What we are looking for:

• Hands-on experience delivering AI-enabled business transformation.
• Strong commercial and operational understanding of how global organisations work.
• The ability to navigate between strategy and execution.
• A passion for leveraging AI to fundamentally reshape business performance and customer value.

Use of AI and automated tools in recruitment:

As part of our recruitment process, Hitachi Energy uses digital and automated tools, including AI-supported solutions, to assist with activities such as application screening, job matching, and interview scheduling.

Background Screening and Security Checks:

As part of the hiring process, Hitachi Energy conducts pre-employment background checks that may include verification of employment history, education, criminal records, and other relevant information, in accordance with applicable laws. For certain roles—particularly those involving access to sensitive information, financial responsibilities, client data, regulated environments, or security-sensitive functions—additional or more comprehensive background or security screenings may be required. These may include, but are not limited to, enhanced criminal history checks, credit history reviews (where legally permissible), sanctions screening, or other due diligence measures aligned with the responsibilities of the position. The scope and depth of any background or security review will be determined based on the nature of the role and business necessity, and will always be conducted in compliance with applicable federal, state, and local laws. Candidates will be notified and, where required, asked to provide consent prior to the initiation of any such checks.
