Operating across five regions, we power over 200 market-leading events, publications and brands across Business Technologies, Healthcare, Learning, HR & Education, and Future Transport & Infrastructure.

But what truly sets us apart is our people.

Our teams are diverse, driven, and united by a shared commitment to excellence. Rooted in our core values of ownership, empathy, teamwork, integrity, and determination, we empower every employee to grow, shape their own path and make a meaningful impact.

Joining CloserStill means being part of something bigger - not just building events, but creating opportunities, connections, and lasting value for the communities we serve.

WHO WE ARE LOOKING FOR:

You love finding the boring, repetitive bit of a process and making it disappear. You'll sit with a team in Finance, HR, Operations or Customer Success, understand how they really work, and build something that saves them hours and makes their work more accurate.

You're practical. You know when a simple workflow is the right answer and when AI is worth the effort. You build with care: clear approvals, proper error handling and a human always in control of the important decisions.

THE ROLE:

Find and Shape the Opportunities

• Work with business teams to map manual processes and find the best candidates for automation

• Choose the right approach for each process, whether that's a straightforward workflow or AI

• Score opportunities on benefit, complexity and risk, and set a baseline so you can prove the impact

Build and Connect

• Build, test and deploy end-to-end workflows using automation platforms, APIs and LLM agents

• Extract and validate information from emails, PDFs, invoices and contracts

• Connect cloud business systems with secure, reliable data flows

Keep Humans in Control

• Build in approvals, permissions, exception handling and clear handoffs to business users

• Test workflows and AI output quality before anything goes live

• Add logging, alerts and recovery steps so automations can be supported properly

Run and Improve

• Support live automations, investigate failures and manage changes to APIs and systems

• Document every workflow, and make sure it meets our security, privacy and access rules

• Work with the AI / ML Engineer on shared components

ABOUT YOU:

Essential:

• Experience delivering and supporting production automations with measurable benefits

• Hands-on experience with a platform such as Power Automate, Azure Logic Apps, n8n, make(.)com, Zapier or UiPath

• Experience integrating AI APIs, such as OpenAI or Anthropic, and judging output quality

• Strong Python and JavaScript skills

• A solid understanding of REST APIs, JSON, SQL and secure credential handling

• The ability to break complex processes into clear steps and spot the exceptions

• Clear communication with non-technical stakeholders

• A practical, methodical approach to debugging

Desirable:

• Systems integration, backend development, DevOps or RPA engineering experience

• NoSQL databases or AI orchestration frameworks
