• Performance monitoring: Monitor automation performance, resolve incidents, conduct root cause analysis, and implement preventative improvements, including enhanced logging, alerting, retry mechanisms, and exception handling

• Documentation and governance: Maintain solution documentation, including designs, runbooks, standard operating procedures, and release notes, while ensuring compliance with governance, risk, security, and audit requirements

• Continuous improvement and engagement: Drive engagement activities within the center, supporting employees in delivering self-led process improvement initiatives through the application of Lean Six Sigma, AI, automation, and related tools and resources

Skills and experience:
