AI & Automation Builder — Team; Remote

Progressive Leasing is a leading provider of in-store and e-commerce lease-to-own solutions. With more than 20 years in Fin Tech, we’ve grown from start-up to industry leader by innovating, simplifying, and valuing people. We are a subsidiary of PROG Holdings (NYSE: PRG), a Fin Tech holding company with three business segments:
Progressive Leasing, Purchasing Power, and Four, a Buy Now Pay Later platform.

This role is a work-from-home position and can be performed remotely anywhere in the continental US.

Employee Value Proposition (EVP): PROG is dedicated to providing people with opportunity - opportunity for inclusive collaboration, opportunity for innovation, and opportunity for development.

We are currently hiring an AI & Automation Builder - People to help modernize how work gets done across our People function and support PROG’s broader AI-enabled transformation. The People team is operating at the center of an AI-enabled shift in how the company works. Our focus is on replacing manual, slow, and repetitive HR work with intelligent, automated systems that actually run in the real world.

We don't design in decks - we build.

• Build AI-powered automations for core People workflows (recruiting, onboarding, offboarding, employee lifecycle, compliance)
• Translate defined workflow specs or process maps into built, tested, and deployed automations
• Build and deploy skills or agentic workflows in partnership with the AI COE, including work tied to PROG’s active PIPER+ program
• Use AI tools (Claude, Microsoft Copilot, Git Hub Copilot, or similar) as core building tools - for workflow logic, automation, and agent design
• Integrate automations with Workday, Jira, Microsoft 365, and other tools in the PROG stack (API and MCP support provided)
• Ship quickly and iterate: deliver functional MVPs, gather feedback, and improve over time
• Maintain and enhance automations as People needs evolve
• Document what you build so others can understand, maintain, and extend it
• Partner closely with TA, People Ops, Total Rewards, and HR Technology leaders

• Demonstrated ability to build and ship automations - not just identify opportunities
• Hands-on experience using AI tools (Claude, Copilot, ChatGPT, or similar) to automate real workflows
• Comfort with APIs, webhooks, and basic data formats (JSON)
• Familiarity with no-code / low-code tools; light scripting (Python, JavaScript, Apps Script) is a plus
• Working knowledge of how HR / People functions operate and where automation adds value
• Experience with enterprise HR systems (Workday strongly preferred)
• Ability to clearly explain what you built to non-technical stakeholders
• Self-directed, iterative working style - you build, test, and refine without waiting for perfection
• Bachelor’s degree or equivalent work experience

• Competitive Compensation
• Full Health Benefits;
  Medical/Dental/Vision/Life Insurance + Paid Parental Leave
• Company-Matched 401(k)
• Paid Time Off + Paid Holidays + Paid Volunteer Hours
• Employee Resource Groups (Black Inclusion Group, Women in Leadership, PRIDE, Adelante)
• Employee Stock Purchase Program
• Tuition Reimbursement
• Charitable Gift Matching
• Job-required equipment and services
