The posting

ace has partnered with a prestigious, leading global Hedge Fund to appoint an experienced Automation Specialist (RPA & AI) who will take full ownership of end-to-end delivery of production-grade automation across core operational functions, with a strong preference for exposure to Legal, Compliance and control-driven environments.

This is an engineering-first role: you will design, build, test, deploy and run automations using UiPath, integrating AI capabilities (Gemini/LLM) where they tangibly improve outcomes. You will operate as the delivery and product owner for automation outcomes, working independently, making day-to-day implementation decisions, and escalating by exception. Our client needs a high-output delivery operator who takes direction well and thrives in a demanding, high-performance environment.

Please note that this role requires presence in the client’s London office 5 days a week.

Responsibilities

  • Own end-to-end automation delivery: intake, process mapping, solution design, build, test, release, hypercare, BAU handover/runbooks.
  • Build and maintain robust UiPath automations (attended/unattended) with production-grade engineering patterns: resilience, retries, idempotency, exception handling, monitoring, logging and supportability.
  • Implement AI-enabled automation using Gemini/LLM integrations where appropriate (e.g., extraction, classification, summarisation, triage), ensuring controls, traceability and appropriate human-in-the-loop design.
  • Act as the product owner for automation outcomes: manage an automation backlog, define acceptance criteria, prioritise delivery, and track measurable benefits (time saved, risk reduced, throughput increased).
  • Partner closely with Operations, Finance, Treasury and (where applicable) Legal/Compliance stakeholders to embed controls into workflows (approvals, evidence capture, audit trails, SoD).
  • Establish and maintain continuous assurance / test automation for automation: automated regression checks, control validation routines, and operational health monitoring.
  • Own documentation standards: solution design docs, SOPs/runbooks, release notes, evidence packs and support procedures.
  • Identify and remediate automation risk: breakpoints, failure modes, data-quality issues, access/credential risks; escalate by exception with clear options and trade-offs.

Requirements

  • Demonstrable experience delivering automation in financial services (buy-side strongly preferred).
  • Deep hands-on expertise with UiPath (Studio, Orchestrator, queues, exception frameworks; able to build independently without client upskilling).
  • Practical experience integrating AI/LLMs into operational workflows (Gemini preferred) with a clear view on controls, auditability, and operational risks.
  • Proven track record of shipping automations to production, not just POCs, and owning stability post go-live.
  • Strong delivery discipline: works at pace, handles ambiguity, executes reliably in high-pressure environments.

Nice to have

  • Experience/exposure to Legal/Compliance processes and control environments; familiarity with evidence-driven governance.
  • Exposure to Equities / Fixed Income operational processes.

Benefits

  • Initial 12-month contract, with likelihood of extension.
  • 5 days per week in the London office (non-negotiable).
  • Salary / rate to be discussed.

Why it works

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
