Sprout is seeking an AI Automation Specialist to supercharge our Customer Success organization by identifying and eliminating manual, repetitive workflows. This role is for a self-starter who’s obsessed with productivity, automation, and systems integration—someone who can see how data and processes flow across tools, and who refuses to do anything manually twice.

The ideal candidate is a digital native who plays with GPTs, no-code platforms, and automation frameworks for fun. You thrive on problem-solving, build fast, and love showing teams what’s possible when work runs on autopilot.

• Map customer success and service workflows end-to-end to identify friction points and automation opportunities.
• Build and maintain automations using tools like Zapier, Make, Airtable, Hub Spot, Slack workflows, or custom GPTs and APIs.
• Prototype and deploy internal GPTs or agents to handle repetitive communication, reporting, and follow-up tasks.
• Integrate data flows between CRM, support, logistics, and reporting systems to reduce manual data entry and improve accuracy.
• Collaborate with Customer Success Managers to understand recurring processes (e.g., onboarding, SLA reporting, asset tracking) and develop digital solutions.
• Measure and report automation impact in terms of time saved, accuracy, and customer experience improvement.
• Document automations and maintain version control for scalability and knowledge sharing.

• Deep curiosity about AI and how it transforms work. You experiment constantly with new tools (ChatGPT, Claude, Relevance AI, Agent Ops, etc.).
• Demonstrated experience automating workflows—could be in Zapier, Python, Apps Script, Notion, Airtable, Retool, or similar.
• Comfort connecting APIs and thinking about how systems communicate.
• A builder’s mindset: rapid iteration, testing, and deployment over perfect planning.
• Strong collaboration and communication skills; you make complex tech accessible to non-technical teammates.
• Bias toward simplicity and scalability—you design for humans, not just code.
• No specific degree or years of experience required—we care about results and curiosity.
• NOTE:
  
  you will be tested in the interview process to build a simple automation with triggers, intent labelling, guardrails, routing/actions, and a learning loop (using tools of your choice).
