Michael Page’s client is seeking an experienced and technically proficient IT Automation Manager to lead the full lifecycle of automation initiatives, with a core focus on the Microsoft Power Platform. This is a hands-on, strategic role for a professional with 5-8 years of experience in automation, integration, or software development. You will be responsible for identifying opportunities, architecting solutions, and building workflows, apps, and integrations using Power Automate, Power Apps, and associated technologies. This role offers the unique chance to shape the automation strategy and drive modern AI adoption within a truly innovative environment.

- End-to-End Project Leadership: Lead automation initiatives from concept through to delivery, including identifying opportunities, developing solutions, rigorous testing, and providing ongoing support.
- Solution Development: Design, build, and implement robust workflows, custom applications, approval processes, and exception handling using Power Automate and Power Apps.
- Integration & Data Transformation: Architect and manage complex integrations using REST APIs, JSON, and modern authentication protocols. Develop supporting scripts in Python or JavaScript for data transformation and process enhancement.
- Documentation & Deployment: Produce clear technical documentation, manage User Acceptance Testing (UAT), oversee smooth deployments, and ensure all solutions are reliable and well-supported post-launch.

| Soft Skills | Demonstrated ability to work independently with excellent communication, problem-solving, and technical documentation skills. |

- A self-starter and problem-solver who can autonomously identify automation opportunities and translate business needs into technical solutions.
- Technically curious and forward-looking, eager to leverage the latest capabilities of the Power Platform and adjacent AI tools to drive continuous improvement.
- An excellent communicator and documenter, capable of bridging the gap between technical implementation and business stakeholder understanding.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
1. Is this a managerial role or a hands-on technical role?
This is a hands-on technical leadership role. The title “Manager” reflects your ownership of the automation project lifecycle and strategy, but the core expectation is that you are deeply involved in the architecture, development, and implementation.
2. How important is Power Platform experience versus general automation?
Power Platform experience is central to the role. While your broader automation and development background (5-8 years) is crucial, the specific day-to-day tools will be Power Automate, Power Apps, and Power BI. Hands-on proficiency is non-negotiable.
3. What kind of integrations will I be building?
You will be designing integrations to connect the Power Platform with various business systems, likely using REST APIs to pull/push data, trigger workflows, and ensure seamless data flow between modern and legacy applications.
4. Who is the hiring company?
The client is a progressive, technology-focused organization based in Dubai. Michael Page is conducting this search confidentially. Further details will be disclosed to qualified candidates during the recruitment process.
