8. Analyze processes to identify automation improvement opportunities;
9. Review and refine proposals to optimize, improve, and automate business processes to deliver the desired outcome;
10. Lead the development of Robotics Process Automation (“RPA”) and other Power App proposals, and maintain technical documentation;
11. Design, develop, test, and deploy RPA, Power Apps, and Excel automation, documenting workflows and requirements;
12. Build, develop, and maintain data models, reporting systems, data automation systems, dashboards, and performance metrics support that support key business decisions;
13. Provide routine technical support on complex automation events in a timely manner;
14. Provide regulatory and ad-hoc query support in a consistent and timely manner;
15. Support existing automation/processes and implement change requirements as part of a structured change control process;
16. Mentor junior team members on automation, RPA, and other process efficiency products;
