Automation Associate

Summary

ATG (Auction Technology Group) is transforming the global auction industry through online marketplaces and auction technologies. The Automation Associate will identify, size, build, deploy, and maintain automation solutions that eliminate manual work across Operations, Finance, and HR while measuring business impact and supporting safe adoption.

Responsibilities

• Opportunity Sizing Take automation opportunities from the intake pipeline and work out what they’re actually worth. You’ll quantify the manual effort a process consumes today, estimate the time and cost a solution would return, and be candid when it isn’t worth building
• Process Discovery & Design Sit with the teams doing the work to map how a process runs today. Design the future-state automated flow and document requirements clearly enough that the build is unambiguous
• Building & Shipping Build the solution yourself using AI-assisted development and low-code tools. You’ll iterate quickly, test against real scenarios and messy real data, and get to a working product rather than a specification
• Deployment & Adoption Roll tools out to the teams who’ll use them — training, documentation, and the follow-through that turns a launch into a habit. You’ll stay close after go-live, fix what breaks, and improve what people quietly work around
• Ongoing Maintenance & Support You own what you build. Tools break, processes change, edge cases surface, and upstream systems get updated without warning. You’ll be the support line for the automations in your portfolio including triaging issues, fixing them quickly, and making improvements as the business evolves
• Measurement Track what each automation delivers. Your numbers feed directly into how we prioritize what’s built next
• Building Safely Work within the governance, security, and data-privacy standards we set for AI-built tools, and flag it early when a project runs up against them

Skills

• You build things
• Automations, internal tools, scripts, apps, workflows, a spreadsheet that quietly runs something important
• Comfortable with AI-assisted development and low-code tools, or clearly capable of picking them up fast
• You do not need a software engineering background
• Genuinely curious about how a business works
• You ask why a process exists before you automate it, and you're willing to tell someone their process should be deleted rather than built
• Strong written communication — you can document a process, write clear requirements, and explain a tool to someone who didn't build it
• A self-starter who wants ownership early
• Bonus: exposure to operations, finance, or HR systems; experience in marketplaces or e-commerce; familiarity with tools such as Lovable, ClaudeCode, Zapier, Airtable, or similar
