About the role
We love a bit of data here at Master of Malt we do. We target our marketing at our customers with it, we set our prices with it, we understanding the shopping behaviour of our customers with it and sometimes we even look for ways to make it look beautiful, just for our own sheer self-indulgence.
As Database Assistant you’ll be involved with all of the above (so some understanding of marketing analytics principles will come in handy; customer segmentations, marketing targeting models, forecasting, etc…), but the core responsibilities for this role will be,
- Helping us to keep our products and prices up to date. This will involve developing processes to load updates from suppliers and developing internal tools and processes to keep our product data (stock levels, tasting notes, images, etc…) up to date.
- Producing ad-hoc and on-going reporting. We’re constantly analysing the sales performance of our lines to help us make well informed commercial decisions. These might take the form of a quick extract from the database to be stuck in an internal email, or a well-polished report to be continually updated and shared with the entire business.
- Designing and executing financial processes. We have regular reports for accountancy purposes; to figure out VAT returns, pay affiliates, and so on. These processes need to be efficient and, more importantly, absolutely accurate.
About the candidate
We need someone that is both highly technically skilled and highly curious about data and technology. You’ll need to be as much of as detective as you are a SQL programmer. Sometimes you’ll need to pick apart the database to find out ‘what’s gone wrong’, with no leads and a short timescale. You need to continually challenge existing processes, and suggest pragmatic and deliverable alternatives. You’ll need to be highly skilled in writing SQL code (MS SQL Server flavoured SQL in particular). This is a relatively junior role, so we don’t expect you to be expert in everything, but you do need to be able to demonstrate expertise in at least some areas and the ability to learn the rest (and quickly). The good news is that there are people in the business to help you learn.
Essential Skills:
- Highly confident SQL programmer (you’ll be asked to explain the different join types, including Outer Applies)
- An understanding of database design principles (normalisation, dimensional models, etc…)
- Highly skilled in MS Office products (including VBA – although training will be available in this)
- An understanding of XML and/or web services
Desirable Skills:
- A heaving tool box of technical skills (HTML, CSS, C#, PHP, SOAP, Photoshop, Java, etc…)
- Statistics
- A knowledge of whisky and other spirits (because it never hurts when working for a whisky company!)
- Software design
