As a Business Process Automation Engineer, you will drive measurable business impact by designing and implementing automation solutions that improve how our Corporate Services business partners operate. You will develop and deliver automation and AI-enabled solutions that connect disconnected business processes and tasks, helping our teams and business clients work more efficiently and effectively.
This role requires a deep understanding of current-state processes, the ability to translate inefficiencies into automation opportunities, and the use of enterprise tools and AI capabilities to deliver rapid ROI. You will have the opportunity to architect, design, and develop end-to-end solutions, build working prototypes, partner with Automation and Agentic AI experts and developers, and ensure every solution creates tangible efficiency gains and value for stakeholders.
This role reports to the Business Systems Consultant, BTS Corporate Services, within the Business Technology Solutions department. We set the vision for how AI and automation enhance our enterprise systems and work closely with business partners to bring that vision to life. This role is on site in Lake County, IL, with flexibility to work from home 2 days per week.

-
Creative and Quick-to-Value Developers: You understand that working code matters, and you prioritize rapid prototyping, iteration, and production deployment. You can envision what is possible and design intuitive solutions for business partners.

Highly Agile: You prefer to learn by building, experimenting, and iterating, and you are comfortable working through ambiguity and evolving requirements.
Responsibilities
-
Engage deeply with Corporate Services stakeholders to understand current-state processes, pain points, constraints, to-be business requirements, and success metrics, and translate these into technical solution designs that deliver measurable efficiency gains.
-
Engineer and implement scalable automation solutions, delivering clean, scalable, production-ready code that integrates with enterprise systems and optimizes business partner workflows.
-
Prioritize rapid prototyping and iterative development by building working MVPs quickly to validate solutions with stakeholders, then refining based on feedback to accelerate time to value.
-
Partner with the business to analyze processes and needs, recommend the most effective solutions, and simplify complex work procedures and job methods.
-
Lead and facilitate meetings effectively with customers and technical team members.
-
Be deliverables focused and detail oriented, demonstrate exceptional teamwork, and maintain a strong customer focus.
-
Bring hands-on expertise with Microsoft Power Platform tools, especially Power Apps, Power Automate, and Power BI, along with a solid understanding of how to apply AI to streamline workflows and improve business outcomes.
-
Translate business needs into practical automation solutions, work effectively with stakeholders, and build secure, scalable, and user-friendly tools that drive efficiency and innovation.
WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE IN THE FIRST 6–12 MONTHS

You have built a strong understanding of Corporate Services processes, key pain points, and automation opportunities.

You are independently owning assigned automation work from discovery through delivery, including requirements clarification, solution design, development, testing, and deployment support.

-
You are consistently delivering solutions that are stable, secure, maintainable, and aligned to business priorities.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding TN Visa Sponsorship in Business Process Improvement
Frame your credentials around Management Consultant
TN visa eligibility for Business Process Improvement roles hinges on the Management Consultant classification. Document how your work improves organizational efficiency, not just your job title. A degree in business, industrial engineering, or a related field strengthens the connection.
Target employers with dedicated operations or transformation teams
Companies running active Lean, Six Sigma, or continuous improvement programs are structurally set up to sponsor TN workers. Look for postings that list DMAIC, Kaizen, or process mapping as core requirements, not just preferred skills.
Get your offer letter to specify consulting activities
CBP adjudicates TN petitions at the border based on the offer letter alone. The letter must describe specific process improvement activities, not a general management role. Vague language about overseeing teams without naming the consulting function is a common reason for TN denial.
Clarify how Mexican nationals handle the cap
Mexican professionals face a 5,500 annual TN allocation. If you're applying later in the fiscal year, confirm with your employer that the cap hasn't been reached. USCIS tracks this; your attorney or filing service can verify current availability before you proceed.
Search for TN-ready employers using Migrate Mate
Identifying employers experienced with visa sponsorship for operations and process roles saves significant time. Use Migrate Mate to filter Business Process Improvement jobs by employer visa filing history so you're applying to companies already familiar with sponsoring work visas.
Prepare documentation before the border appointment
Canadian professionals apply directly at a port of entry with no advance USCIS filing. Bring your degree transcripts, the offer letter, and any certifications like PMP or Lean Six Sigma Black Belt. Missing one document means you leave without a TN stamp.
Business Process Improvement TN Visa: Frequently Asked Questions
Does a Business Process Improvement role qualify for a TN visa?
Yes, provided the role is framed under the Management Consultant USMCA category. CBP looks for evidence that you're diagnosing organizational problems and recommending solutions, not just managing staff. Titles like Process Improvement Analyst or Continuous Improvement Manager typically qualify when the offer letter describes consulting-style activities tied to efficiency, quality, or cost reduction.
How does TN compare to H-1B for Business Process Improvement professionals?
TN has no annual lottery and no cap for Canadian citizens, so you can start work as soon as CBP approves your application at the border, sometimes the same day. H-1B visa requires entering a random lottery with roughly a one-in-four chance of selection. For Business Process Improvement roles, TN is faster, cheaper, and more predictable, assuming your role maps cleanly to Management Consultant.
Where can I find Business Process Improvement jobs with TN visa sponsorship?
Migrate Mate lists Business Process Improvement roles from employers with recent visa filings, so you're not guessing which companies have experience with work visa sponsorship. Filtering by employers experienced with visa processes lets you focus your applications on companies already familiar with supporting work visas and unlikely to withdraw an offer over visa complexity.
Can I use a Six Sigma or PMP certification instead of a degree for TN eligibility?
No. TN status under the Management Consultant category requires a bachelor's degree or higher in a relevant field as the baseline credential. Certifications like PMP, Lean Six Sigma Black Belt, or CBAP strengthen your application and demonstrate specialty expertise, but they cannot substitute for the degree requirement that CBP uses to verify professional-level qualification.
What happens if my Business Process Improvement role changes scope after I enter on TN?
If your core duties shift significantly, for example from process consulting to full P&L management, your existing TN may no longer accurately describe your work. You'd need to obtain a new TN reflecting the updated role before the scope change becomes material. Returning to a port of entry or filing a USCIS petition are both valid options for Canadians and Mexicans respectively.
