• Carry out technical design reviews and code reviews to raise consistency and engineering quality.
• Act as an escalation point for complex automation and integration challenges, engaging directly with code where required.
• Identify operational inefficiencies and service gaps, resolving them through automation-first approaches.
• Lead shift-left initiatives that reduce manual effort, improve resilience, and enhance customer experience.
• Develop and support a citizen developer framework, enabling low-code delivery without compromising engineering discipline.
• Define and enforce clear policies for data handling, platform interoperability, and responsible use of intelligent tooling.
• Govern integration patterns using REST APIs, webhooks, and event-driven approaches.
• Provide constructive technical challenge to teams and stakeholders, calling out constraints that do not stand up to scrutiny.

Technical experience

• Significant experience designing and delivering automation solutions in an MSP or complex service environment.
• Strong hands-on capability with Microsoft Power Platform, including Power Automate, Power Apps, and Dataverse.
• Automation and scripting experience using PowerShell and or Python.
• Experience working with C#, REST APIs, webhooks, and modern integration patterns.
• Proven ability to define and embed SDLC best practice across mixed professional and citizen development teams.
• Solid understanding of ITIL-aligned service delivery, applying Lean and Agile pragmatically.
• Experience working across multiple service towers while maintaining architectural consistency.

Personal qualities

• Confident challenging assumptions and technical blockers constructively.
• Clear and practical when explaining complex concepts to non-technical audiences.
• Analytical, curious, and focused on outcomes.
• Collaborative, approachable, and thoughtful

What success looks like

• Automation solutions are delivered faster, with higher quality and lower operational risk.
• Engineering standards and SDLC discipline are applied consistently across platforms.
• Manual effort and incident volumes reduce in measurable, visible ways.
• Intelligent tooling is embedded responsibly, securely, and in a way that supports service outcomes.
