About The Position

Pape’, a premier capital equipment dealer in the West, is looking for a motivated and knowledgeable Automation Analyst to join our team. At Pape’, we invest in your growth. From robust training programs to continuous support, we equip our team members with the tools to succeed. In return for your hard work, we offer competitive compensation, exceptional benefits, and a strong work-life balance designed to support you and your family. Make a difference. Grow your career. Join the Pape’ Team! At Pape’, we’re building an automation and AI capability designed to make work simpler, smarter, and more efficient. We’re looking for an Automation Analyst who thrives at the intersection of business and technology and is someone who can understand how work gets done today and design practical, impactful solutions for tomorrow. In this blended role, you’ll partner with managers and frontline teams to uncover process pain points and opportunities. You’ll translate those conversations into clear process documentation and then build the solutions yourself. Using n8n, APIs, JavaScript, Python, and AI tools, you’ll create and maintain workflows that reduce manual effort, improve data quality, and connect critical systems. You’ll work hands-on with REST APIs, webhooks, and structured data formats, incorporating AI capabilities such as summarization, classification, and intelligent automation where they create real value. This is not purely a development role, but the technical depth is real. You’ll read API documentation, troubleshoot integrations, shape data, and continuously refine the automations you build. Just as important, you’ll communicate clearly with non-technical stakeholders and help them understand what’s possible and what’s practical. You will have an opportunity to play a foundational role in shaping how automation evolves across Pape’. Furthermore, as our automation and AI program expands, this role offers visibility, ownership, and growth opportunities. If you enjoy solving business problems with technology and want to build solutions that make a measurable difference, we’d love to meet you. This is an in-office position and will work locally at our corporate office in Eugene, OR.
