About the Role

We are building the HR automation team of the future — a small, high-impact group with technology at its heart, focused purely on HR needs. We work side-by-side with HR teams, listening closely, understanding their challenges, and delivering smart, scalable solutions that create exceptional employee experiences.

As an Automation Developer, you will be building your technical expertise while delivering meaningful automation solutions that make life easier for our employees. Using UiPath and Microsoft Power Platform (including Copilot Studio), you will turn ideas into reality — designing, building, and deploying automations that save time, improve accuracy, and feel effortless to use. You’ll work closely with HR colleagues, ask the right questions to understand their needs, and help shape solutions that really make a difference. This is a role for someone who enjoys problem-solving, learning new tools, and seeing their work have a direct, positive impact.

· Work with stakeholders to clarify requirements and ensure solutions meet their needs.
