ROLE SUMMARY:

Work directly with the owner to map business processes, find and fix gaps, design improved systems, and execute them in software (Python / pandas / Excel). Act as the quality filter between the owner and the team — reviewing all incoming analytical work (quotations, Excel models, formulas) for errors, structure and logic.

3. Build and maintain automation for recurring analysis and reporting.

4. Review the team's Excel work — quotations, formulas, models — as a filter before it reaches the owner: check for errors, structure and logic.

5. Translate the owner's requirements into working, tested solutions and execute end to end.

- Strong Excel: formulas, structuring workbooks, auditing other people's sheets

- Python with pandas (or equivalent data tools — must be able to deliver the same outcomes)

- Analytical, structured, logical mind with strong error-catching ability — accuracy is critical in this role

- Good communication skills — comfortable talking to people to extract process knowledge; personable and easy to talk to, not a silent back-office profile
