• Integrate AI models and automation tools with existing systems (Marketo, Salesforce, CRM, analytics, databases) via APIs, connectors, and webhooks; maintain data flows and integrations.

• Design and manage AI "skills," automation patterns, and workflow templates for internal use; ensure quality, accuracy, and consistency.

• Monitor deployed solutions for performance, errors, and data quality issues; iterate and refine to keep systems reliable and effective.

• Create documentation, playbooks, and reusable templates so solutions can scale; maintain runbooks for common automation and use AI patterns.

• Train and support marketing operations and demand generation teams in using AI tools effectively and responsibly; deliver enablement programs on new capabilities.

• Evaluate Copilot and Claude for different use cases; understand their relative strengths and limitations; recommend which platform is best suited for specific automation tasks.

• Partner with marketing leadership, sales operations, and cross functional stakeholders to gather requirements and translate business needs into technical solutions; communicate across technical and non-technical audiences.

What You'll bring:

• 5-8 years of hands-on experience in automation, AI implementation, process improvement, or related technical roles.

• Hands-on experience with workflow automation platforms (e.g., Power Automate, Workato, Zapier, Make) and integration design.

• Practical experience with AI/LLM tools; strong prompt engineering skills and ability to craft effective prompts for different business tasks.

• Experience with APIs, webhooks, and system integration; ability to design and troubleshoot API-based workflows and data flows.

• Basic scripting ability (e.g., Python, JavaScript) to extend automation beyond no-code tools when needed.

• Strong analytical skills; ability to map business processes, identify inefficiencies, and design solutions that create measurable impact.

• Excellent communication skills; ability to explain technical concepts to non-technical audiences and translate business requirements into technical solutions.

Preferred qualifications

• Experience with Copilot, Azure OpenAI APIs, or Microsoft AI ecosystems.
