WHAT ARE WE LOOKING FOR?
People with a strong drive to give their all and make a difference. Passionate about innovation and cutting-edge technologies.

With this opportunity, you will be able to dive into the exciting technological universe and be part of the change: a more connected, more human world, full of stories that transform lives.

WE WANT PEOPLE LIKE YOU...

MISSION

Your mission will be to lead, coordinate, and execute hyperautomation and artificial intelligence projects within Telefónica, ensuring the delivery of efficient, scalable solutions aligned with the needs of the business areas, contributing to the achievement of operational efficiency, quality, and customer satisfaction goals, as well as simplification and innovation at Telefónica. The role involves managing cross-functional and multi-area initiatives, driving the adoption of AI Agents, Power Platform, and RPA technologies, as well as efficiency analysis and associated financial management.

What you'll do

  • Functionally lead hyperautomation and AI projects, from defining the functional scope to deployment in production, ensuring timelines, quality, methodology compliance, and costs, with the aim of guaranteeing their contribution to achieving Telefónica's operational efficiency, quality, and customer satisfaction goals defined by the business.
  • You will need to coordinate multidisciplinary and multi-area teams, managing relationships with internal and external stakeholders, facilitating communication and decision-making.

You will be responsible for the evaluation, planning, and management of automation projects, coordinating communication with Business Units, integrators and/or technology solution providers, and those responsible for the company's systems, architecture, and security, making the necessary decisions to ensure project success.

  • You will have the ability to design, drive, and oversee solutions based on:

- Generative artificial intelligence, AI agents, and cognitive services

- Power Platform (Power Automate, Power Apps, Power BI)

- RPA (specific experience with BluePrism will be valued)

You must analyze and design processes using any of these technologies, ensuring their economic and technical viability, and ensuring alignment with the architecture, security policies, best practices, and defined methodology.

  • You must carry out project tracking and reporting to business areas and the management committee, both in planning and in monitoring the efficiencies generated, through operational, productivity, and/or economic impact KPIs.

You will ensure budget control and financial management of the project: monitoring, forecasts, variance control, and investment justification.

  • Identify continuous improvement opportunities for Telefónica, both to implement them on existing capabilities and in the application of new technologies (or the evolution of existing ones). You will maintain a continuous training level, keeping up with technological trends in automation and artificial intelligence, constantly growing in technical capabilities with ongoing innovation in the field of automation and AI.
