A Sneak Peek at Your Future Role
As a Senior Data Automation Specialist, you will own the technical direction of scalable low-code systems, data pipelines, and AI-enabled automation workflows, defining how solutions are architected, built, and scaled across the organization. You will be the person who decides how things should be built, setting standards, making technical decisions, and ensuring every solution is reliable, scalable, and fit for purpose.
You will lead the end-to-end deployment of client solutions, from the first requirements conversation through to go-live, owning scope, quality, and timelines at every stage. You will be the primary technical point of contact throughout each deployment, ensuring that what gets delivered is technically sound and aligned with business needs.
Beyond delivery, you will play a role in shaping how the team works, mentoring junior members, establishing best practices, and driving the adoption of AI-driven approaches that improve data quality and operational efficiency across the board.
