• Translate manual operational workflows into scalable AI driven processes
• Design, prompt and configure AI agents to automate critical tasks
• Work with SMEs to clarify undocumented workflows and convert them into logic that can be automated
• Partner with engineering on validation, governance and workflow logic
• Guide junior analysts and lead documentation and adoption
