Introduction:
Passionate about AI, automation, and transforming the way people work? At Zeder Corporation, you’ll lead both AI adoption and hands-on automation delivery across our business, helping redesign processes, eliminate repetitive work, and empower our people to focus on what matters most.

This is an exciting opportunity to build AI capability from the ground up, lead your own team of AI and automation specialists, and become a key driver of innovation across one of Australia’s leading automotive aftermarket businesses.

Why Join Us?

• Step into a unique opportunity to create a legacy!
• Lead Zeder’s AI and automation journey from strategy through to implementation
• Build and lead a growing team of AI and automation specialists
• Work directly with Executive Leadership to shape the future of how our business operates

• Generous staff discounts across all Zeder brands

About the Opportunity

We’re looking for an innovative and commercially minded AI & Automation Lead to join our team at Zeder Headquarters in Archerfield.

This role will identify opportunities to improve how work is completed across every area of the business by combining AI, automation, and operational excellence. This is a hands-on leadership role: you’ll set the strategy, lead a team of AI and automation specialists, and remain directly involved in building, testing, and deploying automations yourself.

In this role, you’ll:

• Lead, mentor, and grow a team of AI and automation specialists, setting standards for how automations are designed, built, documented, and maintained
• Define Zeder’s enterprise-wide automation roadmap, with a clear framework for when to use agentic AI versus structured, rules-based workflows
• Map business processes and identify opportunities where AI and automation can eliminate manual work, reduce inefficiencies, and improve productivity
• Build, test, and deploy automations using platforms such as n8n, including advanced workflows involving conditional logic, webhooks, API integrations, error handling, and custom JavaScript or Python functions
• Deliver practical automation well beyond AI: system integrations, data flows between platforms such as ERP, e-commerce, and CRM, and scheduled workflows that remove manual work whether or not AI is involved
• Integrate Large Language Models (LLMs) into Zeder systems to handle tasks such as summarisation, document routing, prompt-based decision-making, and agentic workflows that combine planning, tool use, and autonomous action
• Work closely with business leaders across HR, Finance, Sales, Operations, Customer Service, Marketing, and Engineering to understand operational challenges and translate them into practical AI solutions
• Oversee automation security, monitoring, and maintenance to ensure long-term reliability of everything your team ships
• Lead AI adoption by developing standards, training employees, and supporting change across the organisation
• Measure the success of AI initiatives through productivity improvements, time savings, quality outcomes, and business performance
• Stay at the forefront of emerging AI technologies and continually identify opportunities for innovation and continuous improvement

• Have experience implementing AI tools, workflow automation, or business process improvement initiatives from planning through to deployment and iteration
• Have a strong working knowledge of APIs, webhooks, and integration protocols. JavaScript or Python scripting skills are highly regarded

• Have familiarity with eCommerce and business systems such as Magento 2, Stripe, ERP, or CRM platforms (highly regarded)
• Have experience leading or mentoring technical teams, or are ready to step up into your first leadership role (highly regarded)
