• Troubleshoot automation failures and implement long-term solutions to improve reliability and performance.
• Communicate technical concepts and project recommendations to business leaders and non-technical stakeholders.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to integrate automation solutions with enterprise applications, APIs, and databases.
• Measure and communicate project success through KPIs, ROI, and business outcome reporting.
• Mentor junior team members and contribute to automation best practices as needed.

Requirements

• 5+ years of experience in workflow automation, robotic process automation (RPA), or business process automation.
• Experience with Automation Anywhere, UiPath, Blue Prism, Microsoft Power Automate, or similar automation platforms.
• Strong business analysis skills, including requirements gathering, process mapping, and stakeholder management.
• Demonstrated experience leading automation projects from discovery through production deployment.
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills with the ability to explain technical concepts to business stakeholders and executive leadership.
• Strong troubleshooting, analytical, and problem-solving abilities.
• Experience quantifying business impact through metrics, KPIs, ROI, and operational improvements.
• Experience with SQL, APIs, enterprise application integrations, Agile methodologies, and AI-enabled automation solutions is preferred.
• Leadership, mentoring, or technical project ownership experience is a plus.
