The role turns repetitive, rule-based work across course development, course refresh and new-instance set-up into reliable AI-assisted workflows that can operate at scale across multiple courses, subjects and production cycles.\nThis is a hands-on technical lead role working within the Director's AI roadmap. The role establishes and applies effective approaches for designing, testing and maintaining AI agents and automated workflows, helping build scalable AI and automation practices within Academic Services. This is a remote position that requires candidates to currently reside in Australia.\nHow You Will Bring Our Mission to Life:\nWhat You Will Do:\nBuilds and maintains AI agents that carry out defined course development and quality assurance tasks, using Microsoft Copilot Studio and the approved Microsoft 365 environment.\nDesigns and tests the prompts and instructions that drive those agents, including encoding the team's written quality standards so the agent applies them consistently.\nEvaluates AI output against expert judgement before release, documents the accuracy achieved, and re-tests when standards or source material change.\nBuilds repeatable automated workflows that connect AI output to the systems the team already uses, including Power Automate and scripting, so solutions can be reused across courses rather than built as one-off fixes.\nEstablish practical standards and reusable approaches for AI and automation development, testing and documentation, helping ensure solutions are consistent, scalable and maintainable across Academic Services.\nAnalyses manual processes to determine which are suitable for AI, which suit conventional automation, and which should stay with a person.\nMonitors AI-assisted workflows in production, including error handling, accuracy drift, throughput and updates when the underlying process changes.\nDocuments how each agent and workflow operates so the team can use, troubleshoot and extend it without relying on one individual.\nServe as a technical resource to learning designers and production staff, providing guidance and training on effective use of AI and automation tools and when AI output requires human review.\nWhat Success Looks Like\nAI-assisted workflows produce output the team trusts without re-checking every item by hand.\nManual, repetitive tasks are measurably reduced across course development, course refresh and new-instance set-up work.\nAgents and workflows run reliably in production without daily intervention.\nThe team can use and troubleshoot the tools without depending on one person.\nCourse volume can increase without a matching increase in headcount.\nAccuracy of AI-assisted output measured against expert review, with a documented threshold for release.\nNumber of manual processes moved to AI-assisted or automated workflows and reused at scale across courses, refresh cycles or production workflows.\nTime saved per course refresh cycle, measured against a documented baseline.\nDocumentation and training completed for every agent and workflow released.\nWhat You’ll Bring to the Team:\nExperience That Matters Most:\nAt least 4 years of relevant experience in automation, technology, data, AI, or related technical roles, including hands-on experience building and deploying solutions in a business environment.\nMust reside in Australia. \nDemonstrated experience building working applications of artificial intelligence in a business setting, with examples of tools delivered and in active use.\nPractical skill in prompt design and testing, including getting consistent, reliable output from large language models.\nAbility to evaluate AI output for accuracy and to judge when it is not fit for release.\nWorking knowledge of Microsoft Power Automate and the Microsoft 365 environment.\nScripting ability, for example Python, sufficient to process and manipulate structured documents and data.\nAbility to document and hand over technical work so that others can maintain it.\nExperience establishing technical standards, reusable approaches, or best practices for AI and automation solutions.\nExperience That’s Great to Have:\nBachelor’s degree in technology, computer science, data/analytics, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.\nExperience with Microsoft Copilot Studio or comparable agent-building platforms.\nExperience applying artificial intelligence within a governed enterprise environment rather than open consumer tools.\nExperience working in education, learning design or course production.\nExperience training non-technical colleagues to use and critically assess AI tools.\n#LI-AD1\nRisepoint is an equal opportunity employer and supports a diverse and inclusive workforce\nThis role is eligible for comprehensive benefits\nPersonal and Professional
