Our client is a leading consulting firm partnering with multiple governmental agencies in Delhi. This engagement operates in the public transportation sector, emphasizing innovative solutions for urban mobility and sustainable development.

The role is part of a live project encompassing two key workstreams: driving data, digital, and AI transformation for a large public transport operator, and building a Digital Public Infrastructure as an interoperable platform to integrate multi-modal transport data. The consultant will play a pivotal role in advancing these initiatives by defining technical scopes, evaluating partners, and managing execution, ultimately enabling inclusive citizen experiences, efficient operator services, startup innovation, and accelerated sustainable urban transport for governments.

Key Responsibilities

• Detail functional and technical scopes for AI transformation use cases, including assessing data availability, quality, and integration feasibility across sources like legacy systems.
• Evaluate and assess capabilities of System Integrators and digital partners, reviewing proposals, solution designs, delivery approaches, and identifying execution risks.
• Translate business objectives into clear functional requirements, aligned with data and technology constraints, for phased delivery; review Business Requirement Documents (BRDs) and Technical Requirement Documents (TRDs).
• Manage complex, multi-workstream programs by tracking milestones, dependencies, risks, and deliverables across vendors and stakeholders.
• Oversee program execution post-partner onboarding, including stakeholder management, progress monitoring, risk flagging, and mitigation to ensure successful outcomes.
• Apply expertise in data analytics, AI/ML applications, cloud architectures, and related technologies to drive actionable insights and technical feasibility assessments.

Your Background

• At least 3-5 years of experience in data, digital, and AI-related work, with a strong technical background in assessing data readiness, architectures, APIs, pipelines, and modern cloud/AI platforms.
• Proficiency in AI/ML technologies including RAG, SLM/MLM, GenAI/LLMs, ML frameworks (PyTorch, TensorFlow), and MLOps; experience applying AI/ML in use cases (metro/transport sector a bonus).
• Solid understanding of cloud infrastructure (AWS, GCP) versus on-prem data centers, data architectures (schemas, databases, governance), and application development lifecycles.
• Good-to-have skills in middleware (Apache Kafka, RabbitMQ) and backend development (Node.js, Python, Java Spring Boot).
• Proven ability to manage programs, evaluate vendor capabilities, and translate business needs into technical requirements.
• Degree in Engineering, Computer Science, Data Science, or a related field, plus an MBA.
• Sector experience in data/digital/AI initiatives, ideally with exposure to public transport or government projects.

The project requires a full-time, on-site consultant based preferably in Delhi, starting in early February 2026, with an approximate duration of 12 months and potential for extension based on performance and project needs.
