HIRING STILL
Hello! I am reposting this as the opportunity has arisen to start next week...
I have a really exciting opportunity - which could evolve into many other projects for a London based consumer goods merchandising company.
Job Spec below:
I’m looking for a developer with strong experience designing structured databases (ideally airtable) and rebuilding internal workflow systems for real-world operational teams.
This involves consolidating many Excel sheets into a unified schema, designing clean data models, and building practical ingestion + workflow automations (PDF/email/SharePoint → structured records).
It involves directly speaking with clients in a professional manner to gather information.
This is for a mid-sized consumer goods supplier (private-label style).
Timeline: 3 months starting in January 26 - with a view to expand to 9 months for a full time roll out. Would be very hands on / full-time
Timezone: Strong overlap with UK hours.
Rate: High fee - project based
If interested, please send examples only (1-2 min Looms are ideal).
Please provide:
1. Loom(s) or screen-share demos of any relevant work e.g.,:
- A database or internal tool you architected
- Any workflow system (CP engine, operations tracking, etc.)
- Any Excel → database migration you’ve done
- Any ingestion: emails/PDFs/SharePoint/Drive → structured data
(Blur/redact anything sensitive — structure is what matters.)
What the Build Involves
- Designing a structured, scalable database to replace fragmented spreadsheets (the design is very important as there current structure is very messy)
- Migrating/collapsing hundreds of Excel sheets into a single schema - working with the client to understand what each spreadsheet means / entails
- Building a workflow layer with milestones, dependencies, statuses, and team visibility
- Ingesting briefs and documents (emails, PDFs, SharePoint folders) into structured records using automation (e.g., N8N or Make.com)
- Setting foundations for additional modules later (costing engine, concept library, etc.)
Tech stack is flexible — Airtable (ideally)
Skills That Matter Most
CORE (Must Have):
- Database architecture & schema design Linked tables, normalisation, field structures, data integrity
- Experience consolidating large quantities of spreadsheets into a clean data model
- Ability to design multi-team workflows (status, dependency, handoff logic)
- Experience with automation glue (Make.com, Zapier, n8n, or lightweight scripts)
- Strong communication: explain trade-offs, limitations, and risks clearly
NICE TO HAVE (Not required but useful):
- Airtable (or similar DB-as-UI)
- Supabase / lightweight custom DBs
- Experience ingesting documents (PDF/email/SharePoint)
- LLM-assisted extraction
- Experience with UI front end frameworks
