Job description

Project Prioritization & Planning

• Receive and review incoming AI/automation project requests from the PM and business stakeholders.
• Understand business objectives and translate vague requests into clear, actionable problem statements.
• Independently assess feasibility, effort, and impact to prioritize which projects to build and in what sequence.
• Define the solution approach and select the right tools (n8n, Python scripts, AI APIs) for each use case.

Development & Execution

• Build and maintain automation workflows using n8n, Python scripts, and AI tools — covering use cases such as automated reporting, data-triggered email notifications, line message automation and workflow orchestration.
• Write SQL queries to extract, aggregate, and transform data from relational databases as inputs to automation pipelines.
• Ensure solutions are reliable, maintainable, and documented for handover or future iteration.

Stakeholder Communication & User Immersion

• Work directly with business users to gather requirements in their own language and understand pain points at the ground level.
• Accompany project launches end-to-end — from user discovery, through testing, to go-live — acting as the bridge between technical delivery and business adoption.
• Translate complex technical concepts into clear, simple language for non-technical stakeholders.

Continuous Learning & Innovation

• Stay current with AI tools, automation platforms, and best practices relevant to e-commerce operations.
• Propose new automation ideas based on observed business needs and emerging technology.
• Share knowledge and learnings with the team to uplift overall capability.
