Automation Engineer

K3 Advisory Group is a UK professional services group with more than 1,200 staff. The Group spans corporate finance, tax, restructuring and insolvency, legal, financial planning and technology-enabled advisory services.

All technology delivery must balance the pace required to exploit AI, data and automation with strict expectations around governance, regulatory obligations, security-by-design, audit trails and client confidentiality.

Group Technology builds shared platforms, data foundations and AI-assisted products that scale across these businesses while accommodating local variation. Engineers in this team work close to commercial outcomes, with direct visibility of advisors, partners and clients.

Role Purpose Design, build and operate practical automation and integration capabilities that remove manual effort from K3 business processes, connect systems that don't naturally talk to each other, and give teams reliable, repeatable workflows — while preserving data security, auditability and human oversight.

• Develop lightweight scripts (e.g. Python or JavaScript) where custom logic or data transformation is required.
• Implement robust exception handling, logging, monitoring and audit trails.
• Contribute to the definition and evolution of low code and automation standards, reusable templates and governance guidelines.
• Track and report automation value and ROI.

Preferable Experience

• 3+ years' experience in automation, integration or low code development.
• Strong API integration and workflow orchestration skills.
• Experience with low code and integration platforms (e.g. n8n, Power Apps, Power Automate, Azure Logic Apps or similar).
• Practical experience with RPA tools (UiPath or equivalent).
• Practical experience with SharePoint development, including HTML/CSS/JS-based customisation.
