Automation Anywhere Lead

1 week ago

South Africa Fiducia AI Services Ltd Full time

About the client

We're supporting a global financial services and corporate administration group on a multi-year transformation programme, backed by private equity. The focus is simple: deliver real, measurable efficiency gains across multiple jurisdictions (UK, Channel Islands, Europe and beyond) through smart automation and better ways of working.

You'll be embedded in a small but growing AI & Automation team, working directly with the Head of AI & Automation and transformation leadership.

The role

We're looking for a Senior Automation Anywhere Developer who can own end-to-end delivery of automations: from understanding the problem and shaping the solution, through to build, test, deployment and optimisation.

This isn't a "just build what you're told" role. The environment is still maturing – processes, data and project management – so we need someone who is happy to roll up their sleeves, challenge thinking and help the business make better choices about what to automate, not just how.

Key responsibilities

  • Work with business stakeholders, BAs and the AI & Automation lead to understand problems, scope opportunities and shape automation solutions.
  • Design, build, test and deploy high-quality automations using Automation Anywhere (current core platform).
  • Review existing automations and identify opportunities to simplify, stabilise or retire where appropriate.
  • Contribute to solution design – thinking beyond the immediate task to end-to-end process and customer impact.
  • Produce clear, pragmatic documentation (designs, technical specs, support guides) without creating unnecessary bureaucracy.
  • Collaborate with a small team of junior developers and a technical lead in the UK, supporting code reviews and problem solving.
  • Work closely with the data team to ensure robust telemetry, monitoring and performance reporting for bots.
  • Support continuous improvement of development standards, ways of working and best practice within the automation team.

About you

We're looking for someone who is technically strong and commercially pragmatic:

Must-haves

  • Solid, hands-on experience as an Automation Anywhere developer (ideally 3–5+ years), including building, deploying and supporting production-grade automations.
  • Strong understanding of RPA design principles, exception handling, re-usability and maintainability.
  • Comfortable engaging with business stakeholders – running or supporting workshops, asking "why", and challenging requirements where it makes sense.
  • Ability to work in environments where data, processes and governance are still evolving – you're happy to deal with ambiguity and help bring structure.
  • Good working knowledge of at least some of the following: Python, SQL, JavaScript (or similar scripting languages).
  • Clear, confident communication in English – written and verbal.
  • Based in South Africa, able to work core UK business hours.

Nice-to-haves

  • Exposure to Microsoft Power Platform (Power Automate, Power Apps, Power BI).
  • Experience in financial services, fiduciary, trust, funds or corporate services environments.
