Or bring the builder in‑house.
Some firms don’t want one agent — they want the capability. An AI automations engineer or an automation lead, embedded in your team, running your automation programme end to end. They report to you, work your hours, and leave your people able to do it without them.
Enough to ship two or three workflows and prove the shape.
Long enough to hand the programme to your own people.
For firms making automation a standing function, not a project.
Two posts, one rate. An AI Automations Engineer builds and ships the workflows. An Automation Lead does that and owns the roadmap, the standards and your team’s training. Both are billed at the same rate — which one you need is a question we’ll answer honestly on the first call.
Three months, honestly described.
A builder joins your team on day one, works your hours, and reports to you. The first fortnight is mapping: which workflows, in what order, who approves what.
Then they ship — one workflow at a time, each handed over with the approval loop already in place — and they leave your people able to run it without them.
Weeks 1–2 · map
Your three busiest workflows, staff-hours against each, the order they hand over safely.
Weeks 3–8 · ship
One workflow at a time. Each goes live behind a named approver, with the weekly approval-rate number from day one.
Weeks 9–12 · hand over
Your people run it. The builder documents, trains, and steps back.
After · what you keep
Every workflow, every spec, everything the agents learned — yours, in writing.
