What you'll do at work

  • Write specifications, process documentation and progress notes that customers can act on
  • Work with data using SQL, Excel, Power BI or Python, and test ideas rather than assuming they work
  • Support experienced consultants on live engagements, including travel to customer sites across the UK
  • Follow GoLive's data protection rules, including approved tools only, restricted access and human checks on everything before it reaches a customer
  • Take part in quarterly reviews with your line manager and technical mentor
