What You’ll Do<\/p>\n
At M-KOPA, you’ll lead the AIOps team from day one – owning delivery, growing the function, and proving the value.

\tLead two AIOps Engineers\u00a0\u2014 own their delivery, development, and day-to-day work
\n\tPrioritise efficiently\u00a0\u2014 manage competing requests from multiple teams by applying a clear prioritisation framework you’ll help develop and improve
\n\tBuild and ship\u00a0automations and agents that measurably improve how internal teams and customer-facing staff work
\n\tKeep the AI tooling stack healthy\u00a0as usage scales across 2,500+ employees
\n\tStay current\u00a0on emerging AI tools and technologies – know what’s hype and what’s actually useful
\n\tHelp refine AI training\u00a0for the wider organisation, including Engineering teams<\/p>\n
Technical Environment\u00a0<\/p>\n
\tAI & Agentic Frameworks: Claude, LangChain, MCP, Google ADK (or similar agentic tooling)

\n\tEnterprise Tooling: Identity automation (Entra), internal platforms, Notion, HiBob integrations
\n\tExisting Foundation: Twelve months of Claude, Notion, HiBob, and Entra automations already running in production<\/p>\n
Our Approach<\/p>\n
\tBuild, don’t just advise\u00a0\u2014 this is a hands-on team that ships working automations and agents
\n\tProve the value, then expand\u00a0\u2014 start with two engineers, demonstrate impact, grow from there
\n\tProduct-focused mindset\u00a0\u2014 treat internal teams as customers and build tooling that works
\n\tCut through the hype\u00a0\u2014 evaluate emerging AI tools on practical value, not marketing buzz<\/p>\n
