  • Identify opportunities to improve workflows through automation and AI.
  • Develop and maintain automated workflows and other productivity solutions.
  • Support Microsoft Copilot adoption and user training.
  • Evaluate emerging technologies and recommend improvements.
  • Work with software vendors and our external IT provider to resolve issues.
