AI Business Automation Manager
£85,000 - £100,000 Base Salary + Bonus + Equity
London (Hybrid)
Joining a company at the right stage of growth can define a career.
Our client has grown into a global leader in DMARC and email security, helping organisations protect one of their most critical business assets - the inbox. Serving customers ranging from family-run businesses to global enterprises, the company has established itself as one of the most trusted names in email authentication and protection.
Backed by a successful $54 million Series B funding round and operating as a pre-IPO business, they are now focused on scaling their operations through automation, AI, and intelligent process design.
As part of that investment, they are looking to appoint a Business Automation Manager to lead and accelerate automation initiatives across the organisation. Sitting at the intersection of operations, data, and AI, this role will play a critical part in shaping how the business scales over the coming years.
What You'll Be Doing
Owning the Automation Strategy
- Take responsibility for the company's business automation roadmap, identifying high-impact opportunities to replace manual processes, improve visibility, and create scalable solutions across functions including Sales, Finance, Marketing, Customer Success, and HR.
Leading Through Delivery
- This is a true player-coach role. You'll lead a small automation team while remaining hands-on, designing, building, and deploying solutions that drive measurable productivity gains across the business.
Driving AI Adoption
- As an AI-first organisation, our client is looking for someone who can apply AI pragmatically to real business challenges. You'll identify opportunities to leverage AI, evaluate emerging technologies, and implement solutions that create meaningful business value.

Developing the Team
