Job description

An incredibly unique and future-thinking HR/AI role that will help define future HR process and automation....

We’re working with a pioneering boutique bank and an HR Director who is genuinely ahead of the curve in recognising how AI is going to reshape HR and the wider organisation. They have created a new, blended role that very few HR functions have formally defined yet. This could be the opportunity to become one of the leading people in defining what the next generation of HR functions actually looks like.

The Opportunity:

HR AI & Automation Specialist

This is an opportunity for someone with a solid grounding in HR who has developed a genuine reputation for being AI-literate, curious and excited about what’s possible and eager to propel things forward.

• A key focus on HR transformation, understanding how the HR team operates, including identifying opportunities to simplify processes, remove obstacles and build smarter ways of working.
• Using Microsoft Copilot Studio, you’ll design, build and deploy enterprise-grade AI agents that can be relied upon across the organisation, not just in HR.
• Work alongside Technology and AI Governance teams to test, develop and safely implement agents at enterprise scale.

You’ll bring:

• A strong foundation of experience in HR — whether generalist, reward, recruitment or another HR discipline.
• Hands‑on experience building enterprise AI agents in Microsoft Copilot Studio
• A genuine interest in AI, automation and emerging technology
• A curiosity about how processes and ways of working can be fundamentally improved
• The confidence to contribute to conversations beyond your immediate area of expertise
• Evidence that you’ve progressed from experimenting with AI to building real solutions others can use

If you’re a forward-thinking HR professional with a strong background & passion for driving digital change in this space, we would love to hear from you.
