As an AI Automation Specialist Apprentice, you will work at the heart of how Sage uses AI and automation to improve the way we operate. You will explore real business problems, help build and test solutions, and support teams in adopting new ways of working while developing the skills and knowledge that underpin your Level 4 qualification.
Responsibilities
- Spot inefficiencies and repetitive processes across the business and investigate how AI or automation could address them
- Use low‑code tools such as Microsoft Power Automate and Copilot Studio to build and test automation workflows
- Work with stakeholders to understand business challenges, map processes, and agree how success will be measured
- Apply AI governance principles in everything you do, including data privacy, security, and responsible use
- Contribute to the testing, refinement and documentation of live solutions
- Help measure and communicate the impact of automation, including time saved and efficiency gained
- Support the rollout of solutions by creating guidance materials and assisting teams through change
- Collaborate with technical colleagues to understand how prototypes can be scaled into robust, secure solutions
