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).

3. Build and maintain automation for recurring analysis and reporting.

- 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
