Finance Process Automation Manager Jobs in Beecher, IL

This role sits within a centralized AI Engineering and Automation Center of Excellence responsible for delivering enterprise-scale automation solutions across a large, distributed North American organization.

This is a mature, production-scale environment, not a pilot program or proof-of-concept operation:

• Approximately 125 unattended production robots and more than 200 automations currently in service
• Approximately 66 UiPath execution machines
• More than 19,000 automation jobs executed every 30 days
• Automations supporting business-critical functions including claims processing, policy administration, financial reconciliation, compliance reporting, and operational workflows
• UiPath (primary automation platform)
• Microsoft Power Platform
• Anthropic Claude
• ServiceNow
• Bitbucket

The organization is actively expanding into AI-assisted and agentic automation patterns, meaning this role will support both an established automation ecosystem and next-generation intelligent automation initiatives.

This is a hands-on engineering role within a mature production environment that offers a genuine path into applied AI engineering and intelligent automation.

It is:

• A build-and-support engineering position with meaningful production ownership
• An opportunity to work on both traditional RPA and emerging AI-enabled automation solutions
• A role focused on developing new automation capabilities while supporting existing production workloads

It is not:

• A greenfield-only innovation role

• Design, develop, test, and deploy production-grade automations primarily using UiPath across multiple business functions and operational areas
• Build and maintain complex bot architectures, including multi-system integrations, structured exception handling, retry logic, and recovery patterns
• Troubleshoot and resolve production automation failures with minimal downtime while partnering with analysts, engineers, and architects
• Extend automation capabilities beyond UI-based RPA using Python, PowerShell, REST APIs, and webhook integrations
• Integrate AI services into automation workflows, including document understanding, classification, and large language model interactions
• Develop solutions using a Power Platform front-end and automation back-end delivery model
• Contribute reusable components, templates, and integration patterns while participating in peer code reviews
• Implement logging, audit trails, monitoring, and compliance-ready documentation for all production automations

These are required screening criteria. Candidates missing any of these requirements should not be considered a fit.

• Demonstrated experience supporting production-grade automations, including:
  • Exception handling
  • Logging

• Experience operating in an Agile delivery environment, including:
  • Daily standups
  • Sprint planning
  • Retrospectives
