The AI & Automation Practice is where technology meets value creation within AURELIUS WaterRise. Our mission: unlock measurable efficiency and growth across the portfolio through practical, scalable use of AI and automation. Working directly with management teams, we identify real operational pain points — not abstract use cases — and turn them into working digital solutions. From rapid‑fire prototypes to enterprise‑grade roll‑outs, we test, iterate, and deliver. This team is built for people who bridge business and tech: curious enough to experiment, structured enough to execute, and bold enough to build what doesn’t yet exist.
What you'll do
- Engage directly with C‑level executives and business functions across our portfolio companies to identify opportunities for automation and digital transformation.
- Conduct structured process analyses to capture, assess and prioritise improvement potential.
- Design, prototype and implement AI and automation solutions in close collaboration with internal experts and external technology partners.
- Manage and coordinate technology partners, start‑ups and consultancies to ensure measurable value creation.
- Develop reusable frameworks, components and best practices to sustainably scale automation initiatives.
- Prepare and lead contract and partnership discussions with technology providers and consulting firms.
- Develop clearly defined business cases for AI and automation projects, including monitoring and reporting on achieved results.
- Contribute to internal AURELIUS initiatives aimed at improving efficiency and optimising processes through targeted use of AI and automation technologies.

- Proven experience in the successful delivery of digital, data‑driven or AI / automation projects.
- Hands‑on experience with workflow and process automation tools (e.g. Make, Zapier, n8n, UiPath, Power Automate).
- Solid knowledge of prompt engineering (incl. structured prompts, tool integration and RAG basics).
- Ability to independently build and implement prototypes and automation solutions.
- Highly self‑organised and reliable working style.
- Business fluent in English and ideally in German.
- Experience conducting user interviews, process analyses and structured problem‑framing is desirable.
