Your responsibilities

• Support the further development, updating, troubleshooting, and improvement of already existing AI tools, automated workflows, and Radar-related prototypes, ensuring that solutions remain usable, stable, and fit for purpose. 
• Help translate business and Innovation Radar requirements into practical solution concepts, user journeys, prompt structures, process flows, data inputs, structured outputs, and testing criteria. 
• Support the orchestration of Radar workflows using Microsoft tools such as SharePoint as a knowledge source, Power Automate for process orchestration, Copilot Studio agents for AI-supported analysis, Excel or structured lists as data stores, and Power BI as a potential visualization layer. 
• Test AI-generated outputs and automated workflow results for quality, plausibility, consistency, usability, and alignment with the intended business context, helping to identify issues such as hallucinations, missing nuance, weak source grounding, or formatting problems. 
• Collaborate closely with stakeholders across Uniper to refine requirements, improve user experience, and ensure alignment with internal processes, governance expectations, and outcome needs. 
• Support documentation of AI use cases, solution logic, operating instructions, known limitations, testing results, and handover materials so that tools can be maintained and further developed over time. 
• Independently manage assigned work packages and ensure timely and high-quality deliverables, while maintaining close coordination with the Innovation Manager. 
• Present interim findings, prototypes, user feedback, technical learnings, and improvement proposals in iterative team meetings and during direct exchanges with the Innovation Manager. 
• Conduct regular scans of AI-related updates across Microsoft technologies, including Microsoft Copilot, Copilot Studio, Power Automate, Power Platform, SharePoint, Teams, and related Microsoft ecosystem tools, to identify new features, capabilities, limitations, and opportunities for integration into Uniper workflows.
