Automation Analyst

Location: Birmingham / Manchester / Leeds / Reading / London (majority office-based)
Salary: £58,000 – £65,000 + benefits (Flexible)

A leading UK investment business is looking for a hands-on Automation Analyst to join its technology and operations function. This is a delivery-focused role where you’ll design and build automation solutions using Microsoft low-code tools, configure and enhance CRM platforms, and produce clear reporting dashboards to support decision-making.

• Power Platform build: Create and maintain solutions with Power Apps (canvas/model-driven) and Power Automate, replacing manual processes with automated workflows.

• CRM configuration: Enhance the firm’s CRM (DealCloud preferred, but Dynamics/Salesforce/HubSpot experience also valued).

• Process mapping: Translate requirements into practical solutions; document, test and deliver enhancements that drive measurable efficiency.

• Data flows & reporting: Automate data between systems (APIs/Connectors, Boomi a plus) and deliver Power BI dashboards with well-structured data models.

• AI & tools: Explore and embed tools such as Copilot/ChatGPT to drive adoption of new ways of working.

• Governance: Align solutions to best practice in low/no-code security, change control and documentation.

• Strong hands-on experience with Power Apps and Power Automate.

• Practical CRM configuration background (DealCloud, Dynamics, Salesforce or HubSpot).

• Power BI experience – building dashboards and basic data models.

• Familiarity with integrations/APIs (Boomi or similar a bonus).

• Comfortable working closely with stakeholders but with a focus on building and delivering the solution yourself.

• Financial services, private equity or asset management experience is highly desirable.

This is an opportunity to take ownership of real delivery, using modern low-code platforms to drive efficiency across investment and operations. You’ll be part of a collaborative team, with plenty of scope to innovate and shape how automation and reporting are embedded across the business.
