What you will do

• Evaluate business requirements to determine the most effective architecture, selecting the appropriate approach from deterministic RPA, probabilistic AI agents, or a hybrid model.
• Design and build automations that integrate traditional bot execution with agentic reasoning to solve multi-layered operational problems.
• Utilise Large Language Models and orchestration tools to build agents capable of managing unstructured data and making informed decisions within defined guardrails.
• Ensure core rule-based automations remain robust, efficient, and aligned with the standards set by the Centre of Excellence.
• Partner with stakeholders to identify high-impact automation opportunities and translate complex technical options into clear business benefits.

Requirements

• Deep technical proficiency in Power Automate and Blue Prism, leveraging traditional RPA features alongside their newer AI and agent-building modules.
• Proven ability to analyse business processes and identify the correct application of rigid rule-based bots versus adaptive AI agents, supported by a clear commercial and technical rationale.
• Practical experience building workflows involving agent memory, tool-calling, and prompt engineering to handle complex reasoning and unstructured inputs.
• The skill to collaborate directly with business users, understand their operational bottlenecks, and design solutions that directly improve their workflows.
• A strong understanding of how to structure data for automation and monitor for logic drift in probabilistic systems to ensure long-term solution accuracy.
• An engineering-focused mindset and experience with modern languages - ideally Python - will further strengthen your impact in this role.

Culture & Benefits

• A generous pension contribution of up to 15%.
• An annual performance-related bonus.
• Share schemes including free shares.
• Benefits you can adapt to your lifestyle, such as discounted shopping.
