Director, Automation Engineering

What You'll Do

You'll lead Edmentum's enterprise capability for workflow automation, internal tooling, business alerting, and low-code and no-code enablement. You'll define the roadmap, design and build the highest-impact solutions yourself, and stand up the standards, governance, and enablement model that let teams across the company scale automation safely.

You'll bring AI into the toolkit where it sharpens what automation can do, while keeping solid engineering at the core. You'll partner with Business Systems, Data, Technology, RevOps, Customer Success, Support, Product, and Finance to find where automation can reduce manual effort, sharpen operating visibility, and unlock new ways of working.

This is a hands-on builder role with a thought-leadership mandate: you'll be a multiplier, coding when it matters, coaching when it counts, and setting the patterns that make adoption safe and repeatable.
