Job Description

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

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

, able to work core
