• Build and iterate proof‑of‑concepts using tools such as Microsoft Copilot Studio, Microsoft Agent Builder, Glean, Python, SQL, or dashboarding tools.
• Develop Python scripts or other lightweight automation solutions to support data processing, reporting, workflow tracking, and operational analysis.
• Query structured and unstructured data sources to extract, clean, transform, and analyze information for automation and reporting use cases.
• Build dashboards and visual reports using Tableau, QlikView, or Python‑based dashboarding approaches.
• Document requirements, solution logic, assumptions, user guides, and handover notes clearly.

• Drive adoption of delivered solutions by explaining functionality, collecting feedback, and refining outputs where required.

• Comfortable learning new tools quickly and applying them to practical business use cases.

Python Experience and Scripting

• Demonstrable experience using Python for automation, scripting, data processing, or analysis.
• Experience with other scripting languages such as JavaScript, TypeScript, PowerShell, or Bash would be beneficial.
• Able to write scripts that clean, transform, analyze, or automate data and reporting tasks.

Data Querying: Structured and Unstructured Data

• Proficient in querying structured data using SQL.
• Able to work with unstructured or semi‑structured data such as APIs, text files, JSON files, logs, or spreadsheets.
• Comfortable extracting and manipulating data to support analysis, workflow automation, reporting, or dashboarding.

Dashboarding Experience

• Proven experience creating clear and useful dashboards using Tableau, QlikView, or Python‑based visualization tools.
• Able to design dashboards that are easy for stakeholders to understand and use.
• Able to convert raw data into meaningful metrics, trends, and insights.

Analytical Skills

• Strong analytical skills with the ability to interpret data, identify patterns, and highlight meaningful insights.
• Able to break down business problems, structure information clearly, and propose practical automation solutions.
• Comfortable working with ambiguous requirements and refining them through stakeholder discussions.

Programming Languages and Tools

The candidate should have working knowledge of:

• Python for automation, scripting, data analysis, and AI or workflow integration.
