Job description

Summary: We are looking for a VBA consultant (Excel & VBA expert) to design, build, and maintain robust automation solutions that streamline data processing, reporting, and operational workflows. The ideal candidate will own end-to-end automation-from requirements gathering and solution design to testing, deployment, documentation, and maintenance-while ensuring high accuracy, performance, and security.

Roles and Responsibilities

  • Analyse manual processes and identify automation opportunities across workflows.
  • Design and develop Excel VBA macros, user forms, and add-ins to automate data ingestion, transformation, validation, and reporting.
  • Build modular, reusable code libraries and templates to standardize solutions and accelerate delivery.
  • Optimize large workbooks for performance (calculation tuning, formula optimization, query optimization, memory management).
  • Build ETL pipelines using Excel/VBA (and Power Query where applicable), SQL to pull data from flat files, SharePoint, databases, and APIs (via ODBC/OLE DB where available).
  • Develop dynamic dashboards and reports with best-practice design (structured references, named ranges, data models, PivotTables, slicers, and charts).
  • Implement robust data validation, reconciliation checks, and exception handling with clear audit trails and logs.
  • Establish coding standards, version control practices, error handling patterns, and documentation for maintainability.
  • Conduct unit, integration, and regression testing; build automated test routines where feasible.
  • Provide training, playbooks, and handover documentation for business users.
  • Translate business requirements into technical specifications with measurable acceptance criteria.
  • Manage a backlog of enhancements, prioritize based on impact, and deliver on committed timelines.

  • Knowledge of advanced formulas (INDEX/XMATCH, SUMPRODUCT, LET/LAMBDA, dynamic arrays), PivotTables, Power Query (Get & Transform), Data Model basics - Mandatory
  • Hands-on experience in writing clean and modular VBA code (procedures/functions), class modules, user forms, events, error handling, logging - Mandatory
  • ETL concepts, text/CSV/Excel parsing, deduping, reconciliation, and data quality checks - Mandatory
