• Participating in Agile meetings and contributing your ideas to sprint planning and reviews

What you’ll bring:

• Proven experience leading automation projects that deliver business outcomes in an Agile environment
• Hands-on experience with UI Path and Blue Prism
• Superb communication skills to convey technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders
• A passion for continuous learning and staying ahead of the automation curve
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills
• Attention to detail and ability to multitask

It would be great if you had:

• Lean/SixSigma accreditation to Green Belt standard
• UiPath accredited with UiPath Certified Automation Business Analyst
• Other BA Certification
