Where You’ll Make an Impact

This organisation is actively scaling automation across operations, finance, and customer workflows. The foundation is already in place — Power Apps, Power Automate, Power BI Dataflows, and SQL are in use — but the next phase needs a builder who can go deeper, connect systems properly, and raise the bar.
You’ll work closely with an API-focused developer on customer integrations (Shopify, webhooks, HTML/JS) while owning the internal automation and data layer. The culture rewards curiosity, shipping real value, and proving ROI — not bureaucracy.
Why join?
You won’t just “support” automation — you’ll define how it’s done, scale what works, and visibly improve how teams operate day to day.

What You’ll Be Responsible For

• Designing and shipping internal apps using Microsoft Power Platform (Power Apps, Power Automate, Power BI Dataflows)
• Modelling and maintaining SQL datasets (tables, views, stored procedures) that power reporting and app back-ends
• Owning system and customer integrations using REST APIs, webhooks, JSON, and Shopify Admin APIs
• Collaborating with an API developer to deliver clean handoffs between Power Platform and HTML/JavaScript solutions
• Automating workflows across Microsoft 365 (SharePoint, Lists, Teams), including approvals, alerts, validations, and exception handling
• Measuring automation impact through usage metrics, runtime performance, and ROI snapshots
• Prototyping quickly, documenting patterns, and enabling reuse across the business

What You’ll Need to Bring

Your experience

• Proven delivery of production Power Apps and Power Automate flows
• Hands-on experience with Power BI Dataflows connected to SQL sources
• Strong integration experience using REST APIs, webhooks, JSON, Postman, and common authentication patterns

Your technical toolkit

• Working knowledge of HTML and JavaScript, especially in the context of integrations
• Understanding of Shopify apps, webhooks, and admin APIs

Mindset & non-negotiables

• Strong documentation and stakeholder communication skills
• Curious, pragmatic, and confident experimenting in production-grade environments

Nice to have

• PowerShell or Python for operational scripting
• Exposure to CI/CD or environment management within Power Platform
