Trusted by global leaders in industries like tech, automotive and retail, we’re the engine behind smarter, more efficient operations. With a vibrant, client‑focused culture and a team driven by creativity, no two days at SmartPA are ever the same!

Key Responsibilities and Skills

What You'll Do

The Centre of Excellence (COE) is the driving force behind SmartPA, where strategy comes to life. As part of this dynamic, client‑facing department, you’ll be the heartbeat of our business – delivering high‑impact, tailored support to a key client account daily.

In the role of Business Support Executive, you’ll play a pivotal role in providing bespoke solutions to a variety of stakeholders. You’ll tackle real challenges, establish meaningful relationships and make a tangible difference to client success.

This particular role is assigned to one of our ‘dedicated’ clients, meaning you will be representing our brand, whilst working very closely with a global tech giant.

A specialist role for an expert who can transform raw data into clear, actionable, and visually compelling insights.

What Your Day Will Look Like

• Design, build, and maintain interactive data dashboards and reports using tools like Tableau, Power BI, or Looker Studio.
• Work closely with data analysts and business leaders to understand their key performance indicators (KPIs) and reporting needs.

Skills

About You
