• Build and deploy automations using no-code/low-code platforms, APIs, and AI tools to eliminate repetitive tasks across teams
• Stay on the cutting edge of AI tools (e.g., Co-Pilot, Claude, automation platforms)by continuously experimenting, learning new capabilities, and bringing back practical applications that improve how the team works
• Map, redesign, and document scalable processes so that improvements stick and others can follow them without handholding
