We are seeking an n8n Automation Consultant to design, implement, and optimize automation workflows using n8n. The consultant will collaborate with internal teams to automate operational processes, build system integrations, and deliver scalable, secure, and production-ready automation solutions. The role also requires a strong understanding of Generative AI (GenAI) and the ability to integrate AI-powered capabilities — such as LLM-based automation, intelligent data processing, conversational workflows, and AI-driven decision logic — into business automation workflows. In addition to implementation, the consultant will be responsible for training and enabling internal teams to independently manage and extend automation solutions.
