business automation engineer.

Business Automation Engineer (Forward Deployed Role - Business Analysis skills required)
6-month contract (view to extend) | Inner Melbourne Suburbs | 2–3 days on-site

A newly created, forward-deployed role embedded with a technology leadership group. You'll find, measure and remove the operational overhead currently eating into leaders' time, with a clear target: cut it from 20% down to 10% within six months.

This is a hands-on build role, not a report-and-recommend role. You'll design and ship your own automation using agentic coding tools, not hand specs to someone else.

What you'll be doing:

• Meeting with leaders to baseline where their time actually goes, and defining a measurement method that holds up
• Designing and building automation end to end, from discovery through to production
• Supporting workforce planning: capacity sizing, forecasting, resource planning, and automating the manual mechanics behind it
• Establishing frameworks and documentation so improvements stick beyond the first six months

What we're looking for:

• Strong business analysis fundamentals: process mapping, requirements elicitation, stakeholder facilitation
• A track record of delivering process automation at scale
• Comfort with agentic or vibe-coding tools. You build and deploy your own solutions!
• Confidence operating autonomously in an embedded role, and pushing back constructively on senior stakeholders
• Workforce planning or capacity forecasting experience is a plus

The details:

Six-month contract with a strong view to extend. Melbourne based, 2–3 days per week in office, occasionally working across time zones with a SE Asia based team. Direct line to the Engineering Director and his leadership team.
