About the Role

We are seeking an experienced Python and Airtable specialist to help us consolidate, cleanse, and normalise customer data from multiple sources into our existing Airtable platform. Our primary objective is to rank customers by their commercial value, enabling us to identify and prioritise our most valuable customers effectively.
 

You will work with data snapshots from MongoDB and SQL databases, integrate them into our pre-configured Airtable setup, and establish an automated sync process for ongoing updates. We need someone who can independently assess our existing setup and implement a reliable, low-maintenance solution. 20h/week commitment.

✅ Understand and implement customer ranking methodology based on commercial value

✅ Import processed data into our existing Airtable platform via API

✅ Design and implement automated data sync - either live feed or monthly automated updates

✅ Recommend best practices for data integration and ongoing maintenance

✅ Document the solution for future reference and minimal manual intervention

Requirements
✔ Strong Python programming skills with focus on data processing

✔ Proven experience with Airtable API and data integration

✔ Expertise in MongoDB - querying, data extraction, and manipulation

✔ Solid SQL knowledge - complex queries and data extraction

✔ Data cleansing and normalisation experience across multiple data sources

✔ ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) process implementation

✔ Automated data syncing and scheduling experience

✔ Ability to work independently and assess existing systems without extensive briefing

✔ Problem-solving skills to figure out requirements from existing setup and data snapshots
