• Challenge existing numbers and assumptions when the underlying data does not support them.
• Document data definitions, business logic and reporting methodologies to create greater transparency and consistency.

3. Reporting & Business Intelligence

• Develop and maintain dashboards and reports used by different departments and management teams.
• Translate business requirements into practical data and reporting solutions.
• Improve existing reports by simplifying processes, automating recurring work and strengthening data accuracy.
• Ensure key business metrics are clearly defined, traceable and consistently reported across the organisation.

4. Business Partnership

• Investigate data-related questions and explain findings clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Provide evidence-based insights while maintaining independence and objectivity.
• Constructively challenge existing processes and reporting practices where opportunities for improvement are identified.
• Understand the reason behind existing processes before proposing changes and build stakeholder confidence through evidence and collaboration.

7. Special Projects

• Support other projects and tasks assigned by the company

What We're Looking For:

- Minimum Bachelor's degree in Engineering (specifically Computer Science, Electrical, Electronic, or related quantitative engineering fields).

- 3–6 years of professional experience working with business or organisational data in a commercial environment.

- Strong SQL skills, including the ability to independently work with joins, grouping, aggregation and data validation.

- Working knowledge of Python, particularly for extracting, cleaning, transforming and loading data.

- Hands-on experience developing dashboards or recurring reports that are actively used by business stakeholders.

- Experience working with data from an ERP, CRM, accounting system or similar enterprise system.

- Experience with platforms such as Odoo, SAP, Oracle or Microsoft Dynamics would be relevant.

- Strong analytical skills with the ability to identify inconsistencies and investigate root causes.
