• Apply agile project management techniques to iterate quickly, pilot, and scale automations, including fast‑fail experimentation.
• Champion continuous improvement and AI‑enabled capabilities (e.g., Copilot, cursor.ai) to expand automation scope and impact.
• Track and communicate value delivered through key performance indicators (KPIs) and benefit realization metrics in partnership with the Director.
• Mentor junior developers and citizen developers, fostering a culture of knowledge sharing and technical excellence within Global Operations.
What You Bring
• B.S. degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Information Systems, or related technical field.
• 5+ years of hands‑on experience designing and implementing automation solutions at scale using Microsoft Power Platform (Power Automate, Power Apps) or comparable RPA tools.
• Proficiency building RESTful API integrations and scripting in Python and/or JavaScript/TypeScript.
• Experience developing solutions in Microsoft Azure—including Logic Apps, Functions, storage (Blob), and SQL/Data Factory—and familiarity with Azure DevOps or GitHub for source control and CI/CD.
• Strong understanding of relational databases and data warehouses (e.g., Snowflake) and ability to write advanced SQL queries.
• Demonstrated ability to translate business processes into technical requirements, manage stakeholders, and deliver projects using agile methodologies.
• Excellent communication, documentation, and problem‑solving skills; able to operate effectively in a fast‑paced, global environment.
• Experience supporting Operations functions (Manufacturing, Supply Chain, Quality) and familiarity with ERP systems such as Microsoft D365 F&O or SAP.
• Exposure to process‑improvement methodologies (Lean, Six Sigma, Kaizen) and continuous‑improvement culture.
• Experience with visualization and analytics tools such as Power BI, Sigma, or Alteryx.
• PL‑400 or PL‑900 Microsoft Power Platform certification, Snowflake SnowPro certification, or similar industry credentials.
