Team Leader AI - RPA & Citizen Development

Job Description

Are you passionate about leading people, scaling automation, and enabling Citizen Development & AI adoption across a global organization?

As Team Leader – RPA & Citizen Development, you lead a cross-functional team consisting of two roles: 'AI & Citizen Development Community Enablers' and 'RPA Developers'. You are accountable for both sides of our transformation: the technical delivery of automation and AI solutions, and the community, enablement, and change that make adoption stick. You set direction, remove blockers, and grow your people — while keeping delivery scalable, governed, and aligned with the business.

1. Team leadership & people development

• Lead, coach, and grow a team of AI Community Enablers and RPA Developers; set goals, give feedback, and support career development.
• Build a collaborative, high-ownership team culture with a startup spirit inside a global organization.
• Plan capacity, prioritize the backlog, and balance technical delivery for both RPA solutions and community and enablement work.
• Lead with an outcome focus: drive developers to deliver fast, while using sound technical judgment to ensure quality and depth don't suffer in the process.
• Continuously improve your team and its processes — grow your people's skills and sharpen how the team delivers value, rather than settling for the status quo.

2. Delivery & technical oversight

• Own end-to-end delivery of the team's automation (Microsoft Power Platform / UiPath) and AI use cases and initiatives, from intake to deployment and support.
• Ensure solution quality, reusability, and maintainability through standards and potentially a future component/solution marketplace.
• Steer the citizen development toolkit and tech stack (Microsoft Power Platform, 365 Copilot, and more) together with your team and experts from other teams.
• Bring deep, hands-on understanding of RPA and Citizen Development tools to challenge and improve your developers' technical approach and design decisions.

3. Strategy, stakeholders & governance

• Translate the RPA, AI and Citizen Development strategy into a concrete roadmap and measurable outcomes.
• Act as a key point of contact toward business leaders, IT, and InfoSec for RPA and Citizen Development; clarify and prioritize incoming requests.
• Ensure governance, compliance, and responsible AI/data standards are embedded in how the team works.

4. Adoption, improvement & scaling

• Drive the community, training, and change initiatives that maximize adoption, impact, and sustainability.
• Identify opportunities to improve tools, processes, delivery models, and governance
• Explore new technologies in AI, RPA, Power Platform, and intelligent automation
• Identify what to scale across the company and where to reuse existing solutions.
• Report progress, value, and pipeline transparently to management.

Qualifications

Must-have

• Leadership experience (team lead, project/program lead, or similar), with a track record of growing people.
• Experience with UiPath and/or Microsoft Power Platform.
• Strong business-to-technical translation skills and stakeholder management across business and IT.
• Good communicator and storyteller, able to make complex topics simple and actionable.
• Organizational and prioritization skills; comfortable steering parallel delivery and enablement tracks.
• Outcome-oriented, with the judgment to balance delivery speed against technical soundness.
• Intrinsically motivated to innovate and improve — your team, its processes, and yourself.
• A commitment to staying up to date: in the fast-paced world of AI and automation, keeping current is a non-negotiable must.

Nice-to-have

• Experience scaling automation/AI programs across a large or global organization.
• Hands-on background with our core tool set: UiPath, Microsoft Power Platform (Copilot Studio, Power Automate, Power Apps, Power BI), and Microsoft 365 Copilot, plus Generative AI more broadly — ideally as a former pro maker yourself — so you can credibly challenge and improve your developers' work.
• Knowledge of governance topics (responsible AI, data ethics, GDPR) and enterprise IT/InfoSec processes.
• Programming/scripting awareness (Python, VBA) and API/database integration.
• Certifications in Microsoft Power Platform, UiPath, or AI/Automation tools.
• Experience with change management, digital adoption, or community building.
