What you'll be doing
This AI Automation Engineer will help create AI agents, automation workflows and scalable technical solutions. This is an excellent opportunity for someone looking to accelerate their career within a supportive team environment.

You'll develop AI-powered tools, workflow automations and Python services used across multiple business functions.

The role offers plenty of variety and ongoing opportunities to develop your technical expertise whilst working on innovative projects that are delivering genuine operational improvements.

  • Experience building integrations using APIs and connecting systems through automation workflows
  • Experience within financial services, insurance, tax, professional services or another regulated environment would be beneficial
  • Please note that this role is best suited to candidates who have been applying AI within a commercial business environment rather than solely through freelance, consultancy or personal projects

What you'll get in return for your experience
A salary of up to £70,000 plus discretionary bonus, alongside hybrid working, flexible benefits, strong learning opportunities and exposure to exciting AI programmes that are transforming how teams work.

Location & Working Pattern
This role can be based from either Birmingham, London or Manchester, with a hybrid working model of three days per week in the office.

Please note that sponsorship is not available for this position. Applicants must already have the unrestricted right to work in the UK on a permanent basis. Unfortunately, applications from candidates who require sponsorship now or in the future cannot be considered.

What's next?
Apply today with your CV! We're supporting this organisation with three vacancies within the same AI & Automation team. Please apply for the role that best suits your experience and requirements. To avoid duplicates, applications will be reviewed against the selected position and may also be considered for the other opportunities where appropriate.
