About the Team & Role

• Train & On-board: Design and deliver training content, drop-in sessions, and onboarding materials for the Transformer Network. Lead workshops that upskill team members in advanced usage of Skywise and Apps Script.

• Governance & Process Management: Ensure compliance around Business Owned Tools (BOTs). Coordinate with relevant teams to manage life-cycle processes, including validation, prioritization, and technical review of new automation requests.

• Process Harmonization: Analyze and re-engineer E2E business processes (AS-IS and TO-BE), identifying opportunities and specify processes where self-service automation can replace manual, repetitive tasks using Robots (RPA) or data pipelines.

• Community Animation: Foster an active community of users, sharing best practices, maintaining "Pipeline Example Banks," and providing ongoing support through chat channels and collaboration sites

Support continuous improvements:
