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.

What you’ll be doing

• 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.

What you’ll bring

• 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.

Why this role?

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.
