• Working with multiple stakeholders, providing support and guidance where required
• Applying a proactive and flexible approach to managing tasks and priorities autonomously

Essential skills and experience:

• Strong experience using Windows command line and scripting (autonomous level)
• Basic data analytics and reporting capability
• Confidence working with a wide range of stakeholders
• Ability to work independently with an agile and flexible approach
• Solid general IT skills with a willingness to support others

Desirable (but not essential):

• Knowledge of data management processes
• Business data modelling skills
