[Hiring] AI Product Lead @Novelis

Role Description

This role is responsible for leading the product vision, roadmap, prioritization, and lifecycle management of AI solutions across Novelis' global manufacturing operations, with a primary focus on visual intelligence, computer vision, machine learning, and predictive analytics use cases. Reporting to the Head of AI Automation & Enablement, this role owns the end-to-end product flow—from use case discovery, feasibility assessment, prioritization, planning, backlog management, release definition, deployment, monitoring, adoption, and continuous improvement. This is a hands-on leadership role that combines product ownership with direct people management, leading a team of developers responsible for building and sustaining AI solutions. The AI Product Lead partners closely with plant operations, quality, safety, maintenance, data engineering, MLOps, and software engineering teams to translate manufacturing challenges into practical, scalable AI products. Because this role sets technical direction and supports the growth of an engineering team, hands-on experience building AI, ML, computer vision, or software solutions is strongly preferred.

Qualifications

• Bachelors degree in Computer Science, Data Science, Engineering, or a related field.
• Experience across AI/ML product management, data science, software engineering, computer vision, predictive analytics, or AI systems delivery.
• Demonstrated experience leading AI product or solution lifecycles from discovery and planning through production deployment, adoption, monitoring, and continuous improvement.
• Experience leading technical teams, including direct people management or formal team leadership of developers, data scientists, or engineers.
• Experience applying agile product management practices, such as backlog management, prioritization, release planning, acceptance criteria definition, and progress visibility; formal Scrum Master experience is helpful but not required.
• Working knowledge of machine learning, computer vision, predictive modeling, software development, MLOps, or related AI technologies, with enough technical depth to challenge assumptions and guide delivery trade-offs.
• Strong communication and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to translate technical concepts into business language and connect business needs, feasibility, delivery capacity, and value into clear product decisions.

Requirements

• Master's degree or advanced certification in AI, Machine Learning, or a related field.
• Prior hands-on experience developing AI, machine learning, computer vision, predictive analytics, data products, or software solutions before transitioning into product management, delivery leadership, or team management.
• Practical experience with computer vision, visual inspection, edge AI, image processing, industrial ML, or production analytics solutions.
• Experience in manufacturing, industrial, or sustainability-focused organizations.
• Familiarity with OT/IoT data, edge computing, or industrial AI deployment environments.
• Experience with Novelis or Hindalco technologies and processes.
