Business Analyst - Process & Automation

This role is for one of our clients

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.

Requirements

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:

1. Understand business processes by talking to people across departments and asking the right questions; map current process flows (production planning, forecasting, costing, and similar areas).

2. Identify gaps in processes, design improved systems, and implement them using Python/pandas/Excel or equivalent tools.

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.

MUST-HAVE SKILLS:

- 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

GOOD TO HAVE:

- Business/commercial awareness (costing, quotations, planning)

- Manufacturing or SME exposure

- Graduate in engineering / statistics / commerce with a strong quantitative bent
