If you love technical problem-solving, have a passion for code and data, but want a career distinct from pure software engineering or traditional finance, this role offers a fantastic platform for growth.

Key Responsibilities

• Identify manual processes and deliver automated solutions using code, AI tools, and modern software.
• Assist with the rollout and onboarding of new software and system upgrades across the department.
• Document operational workflows, data pipelines, and system processes clearly.

Who We Are Looking For

We are ideally seeking someone in the early stages of their technical career - such as a recent graduate, a junior analyst, or someone with 1 to 1.5 years of experience in a systems support or service desk role looking to step up into a meatier analytical position.

• Strong foundational knowledge of SQL is essential. You should be comfortable discussing and applying technical concepts to solve real-world problems.
• A degree in Mathematics, Computing, Physics, or a related logical/STEM discipline is highly desirable. You must possess strong logical thinking and problem-solving skills.
• A genuine interest in coding, automation, and emerging AI technologies. Experience or exposure to Python, Power BI, Tableau, Business Central, or eFront is a plus (eFront and bespoke system exposure are particularly desirable).
• Excellent organizational skills, a proactive attitude, and a collaborative approach to working within a close-knit team.

This is a truly unique opportunity within a fantastic business. If you are looking to take the next step in your career -
