Descrizione del lavoro

Background to the role

• A brand-new role in our Business Intelligence & Technology team, helping us make the most of AI across Faversham House.
• Close mentoring from our technology lead, with full training and an apprenticeship for further development – we’re looking for aptitude and curiosity, not years of commercial experience.
• A clear starting point in data research and enrichment, then wider development projects that align with our business goals.
• Real variety: one day you’re improving how we enrich our data, the next you’re supporting our websites or testing a new workflow.

Person Specification

You'll need:

• Regular, hands-on use of AI assistants such as Claude or ChatGPT, with a feel for their strengths and limits.
• Basic programming (ideally Python or JavaScript) and the ability to read code you didn’t write.
• Evidence of building something on your own initiative – a project, script, bot or website.
• Sound judgement with data – you know why API keys, personal data and credentials need careful handling, and you ask before doing anything irreversible.
• A structured approach to problem solving and clear communication, including explaining technical ideas to non-technical colleagues.

It would help if you also have:

• A degree in a relevant subject such as Software Engineering, Data Engineering etc
• Experience of using AI beyond everyday use, e.g. a custom GPT, Claude Project or automated task.
• Some exposure to APIs, automation tools (Zapier, Power Automate) or SQL, and an interest in our sectors.
