• Maintain spreadsheets, databases, operational tools and reporting solutions. 
• Support process documentation, continuous improvement and routine operational activity. 

What We’re Looking For 

• Strong administrative and organisational skills. 
• Experience using spreadsheets, databases, reporting tools or business systems. 
• Good analytical skills and the ability to present information clearly. 
• Proficiency in Microsoft Excel and Microsoft Office applications. 
• Excellent attention to detail and commitment to accurate work. 
• Strong communication and customer-service skills. 
• Ability to manage multiple priorities and work independently in a remote environment. 
• A proactive approach to problem-solving and a genuine willingness to learn. 
• Experience with MI reporting, SQL, Power BI, Tableau, user administration or project support is helpful but not essential. 

Location & Working Pattern 

This is a hybrid, Monday-to-Friday role with core working hours of 06:00 to 14:00. Flexibility is required for occasional meetings outside core hours and priority operational activity. Candidates who can periodically access the Hellaby site may be helpful for occasional on-site needs.

Why Join Pearson? 

This role offers a varied workload and the chance to build practical experience across administration, management information, business systems and project support. You will learn from an experienced team while helping internal customers receive accurate, timely support.
