    Description

    Role PurposeWe are looking for a coach‐player leader to own and accelerate business automation across the company. This role will lead and work hands‐on with a small team to proactively identify, design, and deliver automation that replaces manual processes, improves visibility, and drives measurable productivity gains. As an AI‐first company, this role sits at the intersection of operations, data, and AI. You will champion the use of AI, intelligent automation, and modern tooling to fundamentally improve how the business runs, not just make existing processes slightly faster.

    What You'll DoStrategic Leadership

    Own the business automation strategy end‐to‐end, aligned to company priorities

    Identify high‐impact opportunities to replace or redesign manual workflows across functions (e.g., Sales, Finance, Marketing, Customer Success, HR)

    Define success metrics for automation initiatives (time saved, cost reduction, visibility, quality, risk reduction)

    Hands‐On Delivery (Coach‐Player)

    Actively design and build automations alongside the team; this is not a purely managerial role

    Rapidly prototype and deploy solutions using AI, workflow automation, and integration platforms

    Balance speed with robustness: ship value quickly, then iterate

    AI & Intelligent Automation

    Apply AI pragmatically to real business problems (e.g automation, document handling, reporting, forecasting, decision support)

    Continuously explore and evaluate new AI capabilities and tools, bringing practical use cases into production

    Help the business understand where AI adds leverage and where it doesn't

    Business Partnership & Influence

    Partner closely with functional leaders to uncover pain points and improvement opportunities; translate business problems into automation opportunities and technical solutions

    Build trust through delivery and clear communication, not just ideas

    Team Development

    Lead, mentor, and grow a small automation team

    Set standards for solution quality, documentation, and maintainability; create a culture of ownership, experimentation, and continuous improvement

    What Success Looks Like

    Manual, repetitive processes are systematically identified and eliminated

    Leadership has better visibility into business performance through automated reporting and insights

    Teams across the company feel enabled by automation rather than burdened by it

    AI is used thoughtfully and productively, delivering tangible gains rather than hype

    The automation function is seen as a strategic partner, not a support team

    What We're Looking ForExperience & Skills

    Proven experience leading business automation, operations transformation, or intelligent automation initiatives

    Strong hands‐on experience with:

    Workflow automation (e.g., Zapier, Make, n8n, Workato, custom solutions)

    Data integration and APIs

    AI‐powered tools (LLMs, document processing, agents, analytics, etc.)

    Ability to work comfortably across business and technical domains

    Experience leading small teams while remaining deeply hands‐on

    Mindset & Approach

    AI‐native thinker, you instinctively ask "how should AI change this process?"

    Pragmatic and outcome‐focused: obsessed with value delivered, not tools used

    Proactive: you don't wait to be told what to automate

    Comfortable with ambiguity and iteration

    High ownership and accountability

    Nice to Have

    Experience in fast‐growing or AI‐driven companies

    Background in operations, analytics, engineering, or product

    Experience building internal platforms or automation centres of excellence

    Salesforce integration experience

    Why This Role at Red Sift

    We are AI‐first by design, not as a buzzword

    You'll have genuine ownership and influence across the business

    Opportunity to define how automation and AI shape how the company operates

    A culture that values experimentation, speed, and impact

    Why Join Red Sift?

    Be part of a global, mission‐driven company in rapid scale‐up mode

    Help protect organizations and individuals from cyber threats at scale

    Competitive base salary + commission plan + equity

    25 days of vacation + public holidays

    Self‐development budget for coaching, courses, and events

    Health Insurance + Gym Membership

    Maternity / Paternity leave

    One volunteer day per year to give back
