Automation Architect

Automation Architect

Internal Title: Director of Product & Systems

About the Role

We're building the systems that will power the next stage of growth at Pinecrest Group, and we're looking for someone who wants to help build them.

You'll work directly with leadership to identify opportunities, solve operational challenges, implement new technology, and leverage AI and automation to help the business scale more efficiently.

This role combines product thinking, systems design, implementation, and execution. You'll take ideas from whiteboard conversations to fully implemented solutions, helping teams adopt the tools, workflows, and processes that make the business run.

We're looking for someone who enjoys building, improving, and figuring things out. Someone who sees inefficiency as an opportunity, enjoys working with new technology, and gets excited about creating solutions that have a visible impact across an organization.

We're less concerned with specific industry experience and more interested in how you think, solve problems, and build solutions. If you're naturally curious, resourceful, and excited by the idea of creating better ways of working, we'd love to hear from you.

This is a hands-on role with significant ownership, influence, and opportunity to help shape how the company operates.
