We're looking for a detail-oriented, analytical professional to build smarter, automated workflows across our operations and help keep a close eye on our day-to-day financial data. This is a newly created position for someone who loves building better ways to work -someone who sees a repetitive spreadsheet task and immediately starts thinking about how to automate it. You'll partner directly with leadership to design Excel-based tools and automations that save time across the company, while also keeping tabs on daily deposits and other recurring financial checks to help ensure everything reconciles cleanly. What You'll Do * Design, build, and maintain advanced Excel workflows (formulas, macros/VBA, Power Query, templates) that automate repetitive tasks and reduce manual work across the company * Build connections and automated data flows between Excel and other platforms and systems, cutting down on manual data entry and re-keying * Review and check daily deposits across locations, flagging discrepancies for follow-up * Analyze recurring financial and operational data to spot trends, errors, or opportunities for improvement * Create PDF documents and fillable PDF forms to support internal processes and paperwork across the company * Identify inefficient manual processes anywhere in the company and propose/build automated solutions to fix them * Explore and apply AI tools (e.g., Claude, Copilot, or similar) to further streamline workflows and reporting - training and support will be provided, but curiosity and a willingness to learn are a must * Document workflows and train other team members on new tools and processes as they're rolled out * Work directly with ownership/management to prioritize projects with the greatest efficiency impact across the company ## Related Videos - [Crafting Custom Frameworks with Rust: A Deep Dive into Procedural Macros](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/849-crafting-custom-frameworks-with-rust-a-deep-dive-into-procedural-macros) - [Prompt API & WebNN: The AI Revolution Right in Your Browser](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1615-prompt-api-webnn-the-ai-revolution-right-in-your-browser) - [From Messy Queries to Scalable Systems - How Data Engineering actually works](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100203-from-messy-queries-to-scalable-systems-how-data-engineering-actually-works) - [Modularity: Let's dig deeper](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1200-modularity-let-s-dig-deeper) - [Data Science on Software Data](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/162-data-science-on-software-data) - [XR Demystified: Separating Facts from Fiction in 2024](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1117-xr-demystified-separating-facts-from-fiction-in-2024) ## Related Articles - [Data Analyst Salary in the UK](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/278-data-analyst-salary-in-the-uk) - [Making Data Warehouses Fast: A Developer’s Story](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/107-making-data-warehouses-fast-a-developer-s-story) - [Highest Paying Tech Companies for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/220-highest-paying-tech-companies-for-developers) - [Data Engineer Salary UK](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/253-data-engineer-salary-uk) - [Dev Digest 120 - Apple and peers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/455-dev-digest-120-apple-and-peers) - [How to Become an AI Engineer](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/331-how-to-become-an-ai-engineer)
