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.
** What you'll do
*** Engage directly with C‐level executives and business functions across our portfolio companies to identify opportunities for automation and digital transformation
* Conduct structured process analyses to capture, assess and prioritise improvement potential
* Design, prototype and implement AI and automation solutions in close collaboration with internal experts and external technology partners
* 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
** What you'll need
*** Completed degree in economics, engineering, or computer science
* 5-8 years of professional experience in consulting, technology, process automation or a start‐up / scale‐up environment
* Confident in engaging with C‐level stakeholders, with the ability to communicate complex topics clearly and with impact
* Proven experience in the successful delivery of digital, data‐driven or AI / automation projects
* 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
* Experience conducting user interviews, process analyses and structured problem‐framing is desirable
* Basic familiarity with version control (e.g. Git Hub) to collaborate with developers and make minor adjustments
