Ability to select workspace owner/contributor when setting automations

Our use case:

We are creating automations where when an initiative is placed in status at risk, we generate an email alert to the owner of the workspace. Currently we need to do this by name specifically, but it would make it more scalable to be able to do this by role, so we could send an alert to the owner of the workspace (who is more often than not the team lead/director).

My challenge is that we have multiple workspaces, and when a team member inevitably moves on, I need to update the specific automation and change the name. This will most certainly be overlooked.

The ability to be able to tag/alert by role will really help us.
