I have a PDF which contains the same image in the same location on every page. The image looks like a stamp with a transparent background that has been flattened into the document. It can easily be removed manually in edit mode with Acrobat Pro DC. Is it possible to automate this process using javascript or an action?

Remove the image from the original document and re-create the PDF file.

If the images are always in the same location on the page you can use a script to add a Redaction annotation on that spot and then apply it. That will remove everything there.
