You’re not afraid to question stakeholder expectations, using your fantastic influencing skills to drive consensus on requirements, bringing it all together into an achievable, impactful solution that creates business value. You thrive in working in a fast-paced environment and are excited by the prospect of delivering value through the automation of Business processes.

What we’re looking for

1. A passion for software engineering and a track record of delivering solutions in an efficient and maintainable manner
2. An ability to capture process requirements in order to rapidly refine a solution
3. Knowledge of and experience with an object-oriented programming language (we use C# predominantly)
4. You are an effective communicator, passionate about collaborating with technically minded users and engineers, but you can also translate and understand the requirements of non-technical stakeholders
5. You have experience of identifying business opportunities and translating them into technology solutions
6. You bring a user-focused mindset
7. You’re a pragmatic decision maker, comfortable balancing competing demands to deliver Business value
8. You work well with diverse teams, and are great at managing your stakeholder relationships - you also break down jargon to fit your audience needs
9. You’re excited about getting into the details of technology & automation solutions
10. Any knowledge of Salesforce, Snowflake, G Suite, Google App Script, Excel programming, and Robotic Process Automation (RPA) would be desirable (not essential)
11. Any knowledge of AWS would be desirable (not essential)
