Director, Agentic Automation

About the Role

AMC Global Media, a leader in creating and curating celebrated series and films, is seeking a Director, Agentic Automation to join our Business Intelligence team in New York, NY. This role will lead the design, implementation, and governance of agentic automation solutions across our enterprise.

Responsibilities

• Hands‑On Agentic Build & Prototyping:
  • Personally design and implement agentic automation solutions using Power Automate (Cloud), Power Automate Desktop (Attended & Unattended), Copilot Studio, Azure AI Foundry + Playwright, and Python as needed.
  • Build production‑grade agents that ingest structured and semi‑structured data, reason over incomplete inputs using LLMs, execute actions in complex web UIs, and verify success via OCR, screenshot validation, and state‑based confirmation.
  • Prototype “last‑mile” automations for processes where APIs are unavailable and human work still dominates.
• Agentic Architecture & Implementation Strategy:
  • Define the enterprise reference architecture for computer‑use agents, including when to use Power Automate Desktop vs Azure AI Foundry, standards for reasoning loops vs scripted flows, and criteria for attended, unattended, and serverless agents.
  • Establish repeatable patterns such as Trigger → Reason → Act → Verify → Recover loops, exception escalation to humans, and evidence‑capture for auditability.
  • Translate business processes into agent‑first operating models.
• Governance, Reliability & Scale:
  • Own standards for agent reliability, credential handling, session isolation, browser hygiene, and change management for brittle UIs.
  • Partner with Security, Risk, and Compliance to ensure agents operate within approved boundaries.
  • Implement monitoring via Power Platform CoE and outcome‑based metrics (hours saved, cycle time reduction, error rate).

Qualifications

• Required:
  • Bachelor’s degree in computer science, engineering, data science, or related field OR equivalent work experience.
  • 8+ years of experience in agentic workflows and defining enterprise implementation strategies.
  • Deep, hands‑on experience with Microsoft Power Platform (Power Automate Cloud, Power Automate Desktop, AI Builder, Copilot Studio).
  • Proven experience automating web‑based, non‑API systems.
  • Strong understanding of LLM reasoning patterns, prompt engineering, UI brittleness, and verification loops.
  • Experience running automations on Azure VMs or cloud‑hosted machine groups.
• Preferred:
  • Experience with Playwright, Selenium, or headless browser automation.
  • Python or .NET experience for agent backends or orchestration.
  • Familiarity with Microsoft’s emerging agentic AI patterns and governance models.
  • Prior ownership of automation platforms in enterprise environments.
  • Experience with AWS, GCP, Snowflake.
