Head of Business Technology & Automation

We build robots that inspect industrial plants completely autonomously. Internally, our operations are much less automated than our products, which is where this role comes in.

You will own internal productivity as a measurable outcome, not a theoretical initiative. Your job is to find where hours, cash, and margins leak, determine whether the fix requires automation, a system-of-record change, or deleting a redundant process, and execute the solution.

You will build solutions directly using n8n, Claude, or whatever tool the problem requires. You will also partner with designated process owners across Commercial, Product, Operations, Finance, and R&D to implement changes within their teams. Because you are shifting how 220 people work, the primary challenge is change management, not just technology.

This is a high-visibility, individual contributor role reporting directly to the executive team and board on productivity outcomes. You will work alongside strong peers in IT Infrastructure and Data without managing direct reports.

• Deliver Automations: Build and deploy automations with clear baseline metrics (hours saved, cycle times reduced, errors eliminated). Every project must show a clear, measured return.

• Build an Operations Network: Identify and onboard key process owners across Commercial, Product, Operations, Finance, and R&D, establishing cross-functional delivery without direct authority.

• Improve Data Quality at the Source: Resolve data issues where they originate alongside process owners, eliminating the need for downstream BI fixes.

• ROI-Driven: You track exact costs before and after process changes. You focus on concrete operational outcomes rather than framework adoption.

• Proven Change Management: You have successfully redesigned cross-functional processes despite organizational friction, with measurable results.
