• Strong understanding of database structures and business logic within warehousing, finance, or operations.
• Experience integrating systems with APIs and/or SFTP processes.
• Ability to collaborate with stakeholders across technical and non-technical teams.
• A proactive mindset with the ability to work independently and as part of a small development function.

? Location & Working Style:

• Based in Yorkshire – hybrid working available.
• Some onsite presence required due to the hands-on nature of the systems and collaboration with operational teams.

? Salary & Benefits:

• Salary of £50,000 - £55,000 depending on experience.

• Direct impact on systems that underpin the entire organisation.
