This is not a traditional automation role.\nAt Pax8, we're creating an AI-enabled organisation where automation becomes a natural part of every workflow rather than isolated experiments. As an Automation Specialist, you'll have the opportunity to identify opportunities others miss, design intelligent solutions, and directly influence how work evolves across our business.\nYou'll work at the intersection of business operations, automation, and AI, empowering teams to eliminate repetitive work, improve quality, and create capacity for higher-value contributions. Most importantly, you'll grow alongside emerging technologies, helping define what great looks like as AI becomes embedded into the fabric of our organisation.\nWhy Pax8?\nPax8 is on a mission to build the world's leading managed intelligence marketplace. As we continue our AI transformation journey, we're investing in automation capabilities that empower our people, partners, and customers to achieve more.\nWorking here means joining a passionate, ambitious, and collaborative team that embraces innovation, continuous learning, and experimentation. If you're excited by solving business problems with technology and want to help shape the future of operational excellence, you'll thrive here.\nWhat You'll Be Doing:\nIdentify and redesign business processes that create the greatest opportunity for automation and efficiency\nDesign, build, deploy, and enhance intelligent workflows using modern low-code and no-code automation platforms\nApply AI capabilities to streamline repetitive activities such as data processing, routing, summarisation, knowledge retrieval, and standardised responses\nConnect systems and platforms to enable seamless information flow across the business\nMeasure and communicate the value delivered through automation, tracking efficiency gains, quality improvements, and adoption\nFacilitate process-mapping workshops and collaborate with stakeholders to understand challenges and design practical solutions\nCreate repeatable frameworks, playbooks, standards, and templates that accelerate automation across multiple business functions\nEnable adoption through training, coaching, demonstrations, documentation, and ongoing support\nEstablish sustainable ownership models and governance practices that ensure automations remain effective over time\nPartner closely with Workflow Engineering and Automation Specialists across Pax8 to share best practices and scale successful approaches globally\nThe Impact You'll Make\nThe solutions you build will directly improve how Pax8 operates.

Your work will influence operational excellence at scale while helping establish automation and AI as core capabilities across the organisation.\nSkills and Experience We're Looking For:\nFunctional Domain Expertise (Required):\nSignificant experience in function with deep understanding of the workflows and data and systems within that function. \nProven experience improving processes that actually stick - not just documented future-state diagrams. \nCredibility with functional stakeholders and comfort navigating cross-functional work. \nAutomation and Systems Thinking (Required):\nDemonstrated systems thinking: ability to understand end-to-end processes, interdependencies, and how changes impact roles, capacity, and outcomes. \nExperience redesigning workflows and operating rhythms to align with new tools - not just implementing tools. Understanding basic systems communication standards such as Identity protocols, MCP, RESTful systems integration. \nHands-on experience building workflows using platforms such as Microsoft Power Automate, n8n, ServiceNow, Workday configuration, Zapier, or Airtable automations. \nComfort with logic, routing rules, conditional workflows, and integrations. \nStrong self-directed learning mindset for new tools and platforms. \nAbility to troubleshoot system issues in domain/function and know when to escalate to Workflow Engineering. \nPractical AI Experience (Required):\nRegular use of leading AI tools (e.g., ChatGPT Codex, Claude Code) in real work. \nUnderstanding of workflow solutioning that requires deterministic (programatic) ways of problem solving vs non-deterministic AI Agent based solutions ie. Where AI adds value in an automation/workflow - and where it doesn’t. \nBonus: experience building chatbots, AI-assisted routing, or automated knowledge retrieval. \nCommunication and Change Enablement (Required):\nAbility to explain automation concepts clearly to non-technical audiences. \nExperience training users and creating documentation people actually follow. \nStrong adoption mindset: building is only half the job. \nConfidence holding teams accountable while remaining empathetic to change.\nAn entrepreneurial, start-up mindset with the curiosity, resilience, and initiative to turn ideas into impactful solutions while thriving in a fast-moving, evolving environment.\nTrust Starts with How We Hire\nAt Pax8, we care deeply about building genuine, trust based relationships - starting with how we hire.\nTo protect our business, our teams, and our customers, we use a range of measures throughout the recruitment process to help confirm authenticity and prevent fraud.
