Full Job Description
You are:

A senior automation strategist and hands-on delivery leader who knows how to apply RPA, AI agents, and scripting to solve real operational problems - not just build demos. You bring the technical depth to design automation solutions and the leadership experience to guide a team from backlog to production. You understand the stakes of hypercare and business operations in a large-scale Oracle Utilities transition, and you know how to prioritize automation opportunities that reduce risk, accelerate stabilization, and free up people to focus on the work that matters most. You're equally comfortable in a strategy conversation with program leadership and in a build session with your automation engineers.

The work:
  • Define and lead the automation strategy for the NFG IT Transition program, identifying and prioritizing automation opportunities across hypercare operations, business processes, and ongoing IT support workflows.
  • Design, build, and deploy automation solutions using RPA tools (e.g., UiPath, Automation Anywhere, Power Automate), AI agents, and scripting (Python, Shell, PowerShell) to streamline utility business and operations processes.
  • Lead a team of automation engineers and analysts, setting delivery priorities, reviewing solution designs, and ensuring quality and maintainability of automation assets.
  • Collaborate with Oracle Utilities functional leads, infrastructure teams, and business stakeholders to identify manual, high-volume, or error-prone processes suitable for automation.
  • Build automation solutions that support hypercare operations including batch monitoring, defect triage workflows, incident ticket routing, data validation routines, and status reporting.
  • Establish automation governance standards including solution documentation, version control, testing protocols, and operational handoff procedures.
  • Manage the automation delivery pipeline - from opportunity assessment and business case through build, test, and production deployment - ensuring traceability and stakeholder alignment.
  • Identify opportunities to apply AI-powered agents and intelligent automation to enhance Oracle Utilities support and operational readiness workflows.
  • Report automation delivery progress, realized benefits, and pipeline status to program leadership on a regular cadence.


Travel may be required for this role. The amount of travel will vary from 0 to 100% depending on business need and client requirements.

Here's what you need:
  • Minimum 6 years of experience designing and delivering automation solutions using RPA platforms (e.g., UiPath, Automation Anywhere, Blue Prism, or Power Automate) in enterprise or utility environments.
  • Minimum 4 years of experience in a lead or manager role overseeing automation delivery teams, including solution design review, resource management, and stakeholder engagement.
  • Minimum 3 years of experience developing automation or scripting solutions using Python, Shell, or PowerShell in a technology delivery or IT operations context.
  • Bachelor's Degree or equivalent (12 years) work experience (If an, Associate's Degree with 6 years of work experience)

Bonus Points If:
  • RPA platform certification (UiPath, Automation Anywhere, Microsoft Power Automate, or equivalent).
  • Experience automating processes within or around Oracle Utilities applications (CC&B, C2M, CCS, WACS, or equivalent).
  • Familiarity with utility industry operations including billing runs, meter-to-cash workflows, batch scheduling, or field service processes.
  • Experience with test automation frameworks (e.g., Selenium, Tosca) in addition to RPA and scripting.
  • Exposure to AI/LLM-powered agent frameworks (e.g., LangChain, Microsoft Copilot Studio, or equivalent) applied to enterprise process automation.
