About the Role
The Role
This is a hands-on, commercially focused role for a pragmatic builder who wants to improve how a property management business operates. Working closely with operations and finance teams, you will develop a strong understanding of how processes function in practice, identify inefficiencies, and implement technical solutions that reduce manual work and increase data visibility.
The role sits at the intersection of business and technology. Rather than focusing on large-scale consumer applications, the emphasis is on automation, integrations, reporting tools, and internal systems that directly enhance operational performance.
Role Overview
- Analyse and map business processes across property management and finance functions
- Write Python scripts to automate repetitive administrative tasks
- Build lightweight internal tools for reporting, tracking, and workflow management
- Integrate third-party systems such as property software, accounting platforms, and payment providers via APIs
- Create and manage automation workflows using platforms such as Zapier, Make, or n8n
- Write SQL queries across multiple tables to extract, analyse, and structure operational data
Requirements
- Working knowledge of Python and ability to write clean, maintainable scripts
- Working knowledge of SQL, including joins and aggregations across multiple tables (DBA-level expertise not required)
- Experience integrating REST APIs and working with webhooks
- Familiarity with Git and basic version control practices
- Exposure to basic cloud deployment (AWS, Azure, or GCP)
- Pragmatic, commercially aware mindset with strong problem-solving ability and confidence working with non-technical stakeholders
