RPA vendors have published many customer success stories proving that RPA increases employee productivity, freeing them up to do higher-value work.
But what is that work? Some of it—of course—falls within employees’ existing roles and responsibilities: an accountant is able to automate income processing to focus on improving the all-important business cash flow. Or a customer service rep, after the repetitive grunt work is automated, can spend more quality time helping customers and building robust, lucrative relationships.
There are other job possibilities, however. Specifically, a host of new, RPA-related openings are appearing on Monster, Glassdoor, LinkedIn, and other employment sites. Precisely because these job categories are so new, companies are having trouble filling them and thus offer very competitive salaries.
These new RPA opportunities are not limited only to technologists. Companies urgently need business analysts and others who can study business processes and re-imagine how they can be automated. Businesses will need specialists in areas like systems ethics and how humans will collaborate with machines, as well as generalists to act as liaisons between business and IT. Indeed, many RPA job descriptions will require a mix of soft and hard skills.
Obviously, training and education will be needed, which is why there needs to be an employee retraining component to any formal RPA initiative.
Where to get this training? Leading RPA vendors offer it—much of it for free. Take Automation Anywhere University (AAU), which provides RPA courses and education and completes more than 100,000 trainings each quarter. AAU has awarded 84,000 certifications, and there are more than 100 online classes with 150 academic partners teaching RPA to students bound for professional careers. The engaged student population is growing exponentially from quarter to quarter.
Here’s a roundup of some of the hottest RPA jobs that are trending and the skills that will be required to fulfill each of them.
Keep in mind that RPA opportunities are not just for technical experts. Business analysts, Excel super users, and people working already as cross-functional liaisons between business and technology groups are all prime candidates for RPA jobs.
In short, the field is wide open with opportunities. Go ahead, seek higher-value work. You’ll be glad you did.
