Automation & AI Manager

Founded by international footballer Thomas ‘Hal’ Robson-Kanu, The Turmeric Co. is one of the fastest-growing health brands in the UK. We make a range of 100% natural, potent, on-the-go drinks that support the health and wellbeing of people in all walks of life. Perfected for over 20 years and backed by science, our award-winning formula has supported the wellness of over 10,000 people across the UK, and is stocked in Sainsbury’s, Selfridges, Whole Foods and Planet Organic. From our HQ in Chatteris, Cambridgeshire, we produce every shot ourselves using only raw, functional ingredients – no additives, no sweeteners, no compromises.

The role involves supporting, building, and embedding automation across the business, helping our teams work more efficiently, accurately, and at scale as we grow. This role is about practical automation delivery — removing manual processes, improving data flow, and enabling teams to use automation and AI tools confidently in their day-to-day work. Working closely with Finance, Supply Chain, Operations, Technical, and Commercial teams, you’ll act as the central owner for automation initiatives, ensuring solutions are robust, controlled, and genuinely useful.

The responsibilities include:

• Identifying manual, repetitive, or error-prone processes and designing automation that saves time and improves accuracy.
• Building, implementing, and maintaining automation across workflows such as reporting and data consolidation, approvals and controls, forecasting and planning support, and system integrations.
• Owning automation solutions end-to-end, from design through to ongoing support.
• Using AI as an enabler, translating business needs into practical AI-supported solutions.
• Ensuring automated processes are understandable, well-controlled, and auditable.
• Supporting integrations between systems such as ERP, finance tools, planning tools, and reporting platforms.
• Improving data structure and consistency to enable better automation outcomes.
• Supporting teams in adopting new tools, providing guidance, training, and troubleshooting.
• Acting as a trusted point of contact for automation support across the business.

The skillset required includes:

• Strong understanding of workflow automation, data handling, and system integrations.
• Experience with automation tools, scripting, low-code/no-code platforms, APIs, or AI tools.
• Ability to translate operational problems into practical, scalable solutions.
• Strong attention to detail, with an appreciation for controls and data accuracy.
• Comfortable working closely with non-technical stakeholders in a fast-moving environment.

The person should be supportive, patient, and service-oriented; practical, impact-focused, and not overly theoretical; possess a strong ownership mindset with excellent follow-through; be comfortable navigating ambiguity and evolving requirements; naturally collaborative and trusted by stakeholders; and motivated by improving how the business works day to day.

The benefits include being part of a mission-driven, founder-led health brand, a high-impact role with real ownership and visibility, the opportunity to shape how automation and AI are used across the business, career progression as the business scales, and employee discount on Turmeric Co. shots.
