4How you'll be judged

The scoreboard, honestly: the hard targets, how often each one is actually looked at, and the quiet human signals that never make it onto a dashboard.

Bot Uptime & Reliability
How consistently your deployed automations run without issues.
Target · 98.5% uptime for production bots

If a bot is scheduled to run 100 times in a week, it should successfully complete 98 or 99 of those runs without manual intervention or failure. For instance, a bot running 24/7 for 30 days should only have roughly 10-11 hours of downtime.

Process Throughput
The volume of transactions or items processed by your automations.
Target · Process X number of transactions/day via assigned bots (X varies by process, e.g., 500 invoices/day)

You've built an automation that processes customer order updates. If the target is 500 updates per day, and your bot consistently handles 490-510, you're hitting the mark. If it only does 300, we need to figure out why.

Documentation Accuracy & Completeness
How well your automation's design and operational documents reflect reality.
Target · 100% of assigned Solution Design Documents (SDDs) and Process Design Instructions (PDIs) completed and kept up-to-date to BPMN 2.0 standard.

After deploying a new bot for expense claims, its SDD clearly outlines every step, system interaction, and exception handling rule. When a new team member reviews it, they can understand exactly how the bot works without needing to ask you questions.

Time Saved through Automation
The estimated manual hours saved by the automations you've built and deployed.
Target · Deliver automations saving a cumulative 1,000+ man-hours per year (for your portfolio)

You automate a report generation process that used to take a team member 2 hours daily. Over a year, that's roughly 500 hours saved. If you deliver two such automations, you're hitting your target.

Stakeholder Satisfaction with Automation Solutions
How happy the business users are with the automations you've delivered.
  • Positive feedback in post-implementation reviews
  • business users actively suggesting new automation ideas to you
  • fewer complaints about bot performance or errors
  • they'll actually thank you for making their lives easier.
Proactive Problem Solving
Your ability to spot potential issues with bots or processes before they become major problems.
  • You're flagging potential system changes to your manager before they break a bot
  • you're suggesting improvements to a process *before* automating it
  • you're digging into bot logs to understand intermittent failures, not just restarting them.
Contribution to Team Knowledge & Best Practices
How you help other team members learn and improve.
  • You're sharing useful code snippets or troubleshooting tips in team meetings
  • you're helping new joiners understand our standards
  • your documentation is clear enough for others to pick up your work easily
  • you're informally mentoring junior analysts.
Adherence to Automation Standards
How well your work follows our established development guidelines and governance rules.
  • Your code reviews are clean
  • your bots are built with clear error handling
  • you're following our naming conventions and security protocols
  • you understand and apply the 'Happy Path' and 'Exception Handling' principles.

5Would you like it

The honest version. What people enjoy, and what grinds them down.

What people enjoy
Solving Tangible Problems

You get a real kick out of taking a manual, repetitive problem that's causing headaches for your colleagues and building a solution that makes it disappear. You love seeing the immediate, measurable impact of your work.

Automating a report that used to take someone 3 hours every day, and seeing their relief when they realise they don't have to do it anymore.

Continuous Improvement & Efficiency

You're always looking for a better, faster, more accurate way to do things. The idea of optimising processes and making systems work smarter truly excites you. You thrive on finding those small tweaks that add up to big gains.

Refining an existing bot's logic to handle a new exception, making it even more robust and reducing future failures.

Technical Craftsmanship

You enjoy the actual building and coding of automations, making sure they're clean, resilient, and well-documented. There's a satisfaction in creating something that works perfectly and stands the test of time.

Spending the extra time to build reusable components or robust error handling, knowing it will save headaches down the line.

What frustrates people
  • The 'Just Automate It' Fallacy: When stakeholders think automation is a magic wand, not realising a messy manual process needs fixing first.
  • IT Security as the Gatekeeper: The constant battle to get bot IDs, system access, and firewall exceptions from an overloaded IT team.
  • The Maintenance Nightmare: Inheriting poorly documented bots that break constantly and eat up all your time.
  • UI-Driven Fragility: Spending a week building a bot, only for a minor system update to break it overnight.
  • Passive-Aggressive Resistance: Dealing with users who fear for their jobs and subtly sabotage automation efforts.
What this role does not give you
  • A purely strategic, 'big picture' role without hands-on building.
  • A predictable, unchanging daily routine; expect curveballs.
  • A role where every single piece of your work makes it to production without a hitch or change.
  • A guarantee that all stakeholders will immediately embrace your solutions.

6Who you work with

This role directly improves the efficiency, accuracy, and speed of our core operational processes. By taking on repetitive tasks, you're not just saving money; you're improving employee morale and freeing up our people to tackle more strategic challenges. Your work helps us deliver better service to our customers, faster, and with fewer mistakes. It's about making our Operations truly 'intelligent'.

Inside the business
  • Operations Business Unit Leads (e.g., Customer Service, Logistics, Finance Ops)
  • IT Support & Infrastructure Teams
  • Process Improvement Specialists
  • Junior Automation Analysts
Outside the business
  • Software Vendors (e.g., UiPath support)
  • External Consultants (occasionally, for specific projects)

7What you need before you start

Not a wish list. The things you would be expected to already have.

  • At least 2 years of hands-on experience building and deploying RPA bots, preferably with UiPath or Automation Anywhere.
  • Demonstrable experience in business process mapping and analysis, ideally using BPMN 2.0.
  • A proven track record of troubleshooting and maintaining production automations.
  • Experience working directly with business stakeholders to gather requirements and explain technical solutions.
  • A solid understanding of basic programming concepts (e.g., variables, loops, conditionals) even if you're not a full-stack developer.

8What to practise next

Where the job is going, and what to do about it starting this week.

Advanced UiPath Development & Best Practices

As our automation estate grows, the need for robust, scalable, and easily maintainable bots becomes critical. Moving beyond basic bot building to advanced techniques ensures our automations are resilient and cost-effective.

REFramework (Robotic Enterprise Framework) · Reusable Components & Libraries · Advanced Error Handling & Logging · Orchestrator Management & Queues

  • This week: Review existing REFramework projects in our portfolio. Understand their structure.
  • This month: Take an online course on advanced UiPath development, focusing on REFramework and best practices.
  • Month 2: Proactively refactor a simple existing bot to use reusable components or improve its error handling.
  • Month 3: Lead a short internal session on a UiPath best practice you've learned.

Quick win: Start incorporating more detailed logging into your current bots. Good logs are invaluable for debugging.

Deeper Integration Platform (iPaaS) Knowledge

Automations rarely live in isolation. They need to connect to other systems. A solid grasp of iPaaS tools means you can build more sophisticated, end-to-end automations that seamlessly link different applications, reducing 'swivel chair' processes.

API Fundamentals · Data Transformation · Security & Authentication · Error Handling in Integrations

  • This week: Explore the capabilities of Workato or Zapier beyond simple connectors. Look at custom logic.
  • This month: Take an online tutorial on basic API concepts and how to test them (e.g., using Postman).
  • Month 2: Identify a process where a bot currently does 'swivel chair' work between two systems that *could* be integrated via API. Propose a solution.
  • Month 3: Build a small, non-production integration flow using an iPaaS tool to connect two simple applications.

Quick win: Start looking at the documentation for APIs of systems you frequently automate. Just understanding what's possible is a good start.

9Staying current once you are in

What people here do to keep up
  • Regularly engage with online RPA communities and forums (e.g., UiPath Community Forum) to stay updated on new features and troubleshoot common issues.
  • Attend webinars and virtual conferences on process automation, intelligent automation, and AI in Operations to broaden your knowledge.
  • Dedicate time each month to explore new features within our existing automation platforms (e.g., new UiPath activities, Celonis updates).
  • Take online courses on topics like API integration, Python scripting for automation, or advanced data visualisation techniques to deepen your technical skillset.
  • Seek out opportunities to informally mentor junior colleagues or new starters, as teaching is a great way to solidify your own understanding.

10How the AI economy is changing work like this

Before we ask anything of you, here's what we can already say about AI and work of this kind:

The new skill this role is being asked for: Basic Prompt Engineering for LLMs

Large Language Models (LLMs) like ChatGPT or Claude are becoming incredibly powerful for tasks like drafting documentation, summarising reports, and even generating basic code snippets. Automation Coordinators who can effectively 'talk' to these models will be significantly more productive.

We'll only ever tell you what we can actually back up. No hype, no scare tactics.

Working with AI on the job

Working with AI

Where AI is starting to help

Imagine getting back nearly a full day each week. That's the reality with the AI tools we're putting into the hands of our Automation Coordinators. We're not just building bots; we're using AI to make *you* more efficient at building and managing those bots.

Honestly, the automation world is moving fast. AI isn't just a buzzword here; it's a practical toolkit that helps you cut down on the tedious parts of your job. Think of it as having a super-smart assistant for all your process mapping, opportunity spotting, and documentation. You'll be able to focus on the truly interesting, complex parts of your role, not the busywork.

AI-Powered Process Documentation

Use tools like Scribe or the AI features in Celonis to automatically generate step-by-step guides and process maps by recording a user's screen. This turns a 3-day documentation task into a 3-hour review session, meaning you spend less time writing and more time building.

AI-Driven Opportunity Analysis

Feed process mining logs and helpdesk tickets into an AI model to predict and rank the top 5 automation opportunities based on potential ROI, complexity, and strategic alignment. This helps you focus on the most impactful projects, not just the loudest requests.

Legacy System Research Assistant

Use a specialized AI chat agent to query a knowledge base of technical forums and documentation. Get instant answers on how to automate tasks in tricky legacy systems like SAP or Oracle Forms without direct API access. No more endless forum searching!

Automated Change Communication

Use a generative AI tool to draft stakeholder communications, training announcements, and FAQs for a new bot deployment. It'll tailor messages for different audiences (e.g., end-users, managers, IT), ensuring consistent and clear messaging without you having to write every word from scratch.

The honest bit

You’ve started things before

Most of them were built for a room full of people who aren’t you. A cohort moves on whether or not your week allowed it, and by the third week the thing you’re behind on becomes the reason you stop opening it.

There’s no cohort here, and no timetable to fall behind. Before anything starts, Zavmo asks when you’re sharpest and how long you can realistically sit down for, then builds the sessions around those answers. A bad fortnight changes your pace. It doesn’t put you behind.

And you only pay once you start learning. Searching and planning are free, and you can cancel any time — so the cost of finding out is an afternoon, not a year.

What it costs

Less than one coaching session. Every month.

A single career-coaching hour costs more than a month of this, and it ends when the hour does. Zavmo doesn't. It's £70 a month, about £2.30 a day, for a companion that knows a Global Automation Coordinator, works on the job you actually do, and keeps going at your pace rather than a timetable's.

  • Searching and planning stay free. You only pay when you start learning.
  • Your credits are yours. Regulated, and they don't vanish when a subscription ends.
  • Cancel any time and billing stops. No notice period, no minimum term.

Your path, personalised

You have the map. Walking it is the part we do together.

This route runs to 5 national skill standards. That is a real journey.

Zavmo shapes a learning experience as unique as you are. It fits how you learn, your pace and the work you already do. Every step stays benchmarked to recognised national standards. That’s the plan for becoming a Global Automation Coordinator: personal to you, and it still counts. The first steps are free.

Independent research finds well-designed intelligent tutoring performs nearly as well as one-to-one human tutoring: VanLehn (2011), Educational Psychologist.
