Digital Innovation Developer

Dawson Group is looking for a

full-time Digital
Innovation Developer who will analyze, design, develop and maintain
information systems, ensuring they meet our business requirements and improve
operational efficiency.

In this role, you will be a valued member of Dawson Group and will support our partnership with RightMetric, acting as the embedded developer for the RightMetric business. As time progresses, the role will serve other
innovation needs across Dawson Group.

RightMetric helps marketers eliminate blind spots with Marketing Outsight. They use signals from audiences, competitors, platforms, content, and culture to show what is changing while it is still unfolding. This gives clients like Red Bull, Wilson, Vancity, ATB, lululemon, and Canadian Tire, a clearer view of what is happening so they can make sharper decisions with confidence. Dawson Group also has other focus areas in highway construction and maintenance.

You will work closely with RightMetric’s
leadership, product, and data teams as well as Dawson Group’s sister companies to
help shape, establish, and deliver on their digital transformation journey. You
will play a key part in identifying and implementing opportunities to embed AI
across our businesses – integrating systems, automating processes, and
leveraging intelligent solutions to drive productivity, efficiency, and
innovation. You will help design and
develop the logic layer of our digital ecosystem – turning current manual
processes into minutes of automated output.
This position is fully remote, enabling you to collaborate seamlessly
across teams while contributing to the evolution of our digital ecosystem.

1. Internal
   workflow automation and efficiency – utilize technical solutions, APIs,
   and business logic to eliminate friction points or inefficiencies in internal
   operations, leading to measurable improvements in team output and speed.

• Take technical ownership of existing systems and solutions – evaluating architecture, addressing gaps, and evolving them into scalable, maintainable, and well-governed platforms
• Orchestrate AI driven workflows that gather data, analyze trends, and produce business outputs with traceability
• Deliver rapid, functional Proofs of Concept (POCs) within short 2‑ or 3‑week cycles – then mature the highest‑value prototypes into stable, maintainable outputs
• Act as a trusted technical partner, translating business needs and operational pain points into actionable solutions
• Serve as the technical liaison for internal teams and third‑party developers – providing architectural guidance that supports scalable, sustainable systems
