Do you love solving technical challenges in automation? Have you supported a team through a transformation? Can you create game changing solutions? If yes, then we may have the role for you!

As the Automation Architect, you will work in our amazing Enterprise Architecture function, helping us understand, design, architect, exploit, innovate and automate across all aspects of our Business Process landscape. You’ll establish relationships across the Bank and assume responsibility for our business process ecosystem, connecting it to domains including customer journeys and business capabilities and maintaining the meta-model and taxonomy. 

Depending on the team, most of our roles offer flexible working.

So what would you be doing?...

• Utilising automation technologies to adopt the optimum architectural approach for when to use the right tool to achieve the greatest business value 
• Responsible for architecting standards, patterns and guardrails that balance the best technology services with speed to market
• Hosting requirement gathering and business process design workshops 
• Designing, developing, and testing solutions to automate business processes, activities, and tasks through technologies including BPM, RPA, and other workflow automation platforms
• Architecting and participating in the deployment of automation technologies including bots, orchestrators, development tools, and systems integrations
• Providing technical direction on design considerations, including performance, scalability, availability, maintainability, and auditability

You need to be this kind of person…

• Passionate about providing unparalleled levels of service and convenience for customers
• Able to work and learn quickly in a fast paced, fun and dynamic environment
• Prepared to stick at something – we get nervous if someone has jumped from job to job as we want people who are prepared to learn and grow
• Care about doing a great job and exceeding expectations with the quality of what you do

And... we are a bank so risk is a part of everything we do. We love people who take responsibility, do the right thing for customers, colleagues and Metro Bank and have the courage to call out any concerns.

We always support colleagues to develop their skills. But to be successful in this job you really do need to already be able to do most of these wonderful things...

• Understand the risks associated with your job and what that means for you, Metro Bank and all our stakeholders
• You will have a deep level understanding of at least 2 automation / workflow technologies such as UI Path, Camunda, Blue Prism, Pega, ServiceNow, Appian, the Microsoft Power platform 
• You must have experience of designing reusable and maintainable processes using BPMN, CMMN & DMN
• It is essential you have the ability to quickly gain the confidence of the business and colleagues through good communication and influencing skills, simplifying complex messages
• You will need experience working within Financial Services deploying Automation technologies

Important Footnote Diverse teams really are the best teams. We know that candidates (especially women, research tells us) may be put off applying for a job unless they can tick every box.  We also know that ‘normal’ office hours aren’t always doable, and while we can’t accommodate every flexible working request we are happy to be asked.  So if you are excited about working with us and think you can do much of what we are looking for but aren’t sure if you are 100% there yet… why not give it a whirl? Please note that sometimes we may close a job earlier for applications if we are inundated with amazing candidates.. Good luck!
