About the role
Blackbook AI is a data and AI consultancy partnered with Databricks, Microsoft, AWS and UiPath. We're looking for a Senior Consultant to lead automation delivery for a major enterprise client in the utilities sector.
You'll lead a small team of automation developers while working directly with business stakeholders to shape and deliver the next wave of automation.

What you'll do
Delivery leadership
- Lead and mentor a team of RPA and automation developers
- Apply and improve delivery standards, development frameworks and QA processes
- Prioritise and allocate work; run technical and delivery reviews against quality, security and supportability standards

Discovery and stakeholder engagement
- Work with business stakeholders to understand operational pain and identify automation opportunities
- Facilitate workshops, discovery sessions and process reviews
- Translate business need into defined automation and process improvement initiatives
- Contribute to business cases, opportunity assessments and delivery roadmaps
- Build trusted working relationships with operational leaders
Governance and continuous improvement
- Work within the client's automation governance framework and flag gaps or improvement opportunities
- Support pipeline management, prioritisation and benefits tracking
- Ensure compliance with client security, technology and risk requirements
- Drive improvement of automation platforms and delivery practice
Growth
- Surface new automation and process improvement opportunities as you work across the business
- Support the wider Blackbook team on roadmaps, investment cases and client presentations
What you'll bring
