The AI & Automation Practice is where technology meets value creation within AURELIUS Water Rise. Our mission: unlock measurable efficiency and growth across the portfolio through practical, scalable use of AI and automation.

Working directly with management teams, we identify real operational pain points — not abstract use cases — and turn them into working digital solutions. From rapid‐fire prototypes to enterprise‐grade roll‐outs, we test, iterate, and deliver.

This team is built for people who bridge business and tech: curious enough to experiment, structured enough to execute, and bold enough to build what doesn’t yet exist.

* Manage and coordinate technology partners, start‐ups and consultancies to ensure measurable value creation
* Develop reusable frameworks, components and best practices to sustainably scale automation initiatives
* Prepare and lead contract and partnership discussions with technology providers and consulting firms
* Develop clearly defined business cases for AI and automation projects, including monitoring and reporting on achieved results
* Contribute to internal AURELIUS initiatives aimed at improving efficiency and optimising processes through targeted use of AI and automation technologies

* Confident in engaging with C‐level stakeholders, with the ability to communicate complex topics clearly and with impact

* Hands‐on experience with workflow and process automation tools (e.g. Make, Zapier, n8n, UiPath, Power Automate)
* Solid knowledge of prompt engineering (incl. structured prompts, tool integration and RAG basics)
* Ability to independently build and implement prototypes and automation solutions
* Highly self‐organised and reliable working style
* Business fluent in English and ideally in German
