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. 

This is a generalised role for someone with a strong organisational streak, and ​keen aptitude with data ​and information systems. 

What Your Day Will Look Like

  • Curate and Govern Research Data: Manage the lifecycle of complex, unstructured research datasets, ensuring data integrity and compliance.

  • Coordinate content updates across platforms (e.g., internal knowledge bases, dashboards, microsites, Google Sheets and NotebookLM), working with stakeholders to gather, format, and publish information.

  • Process and clean raw data using tools like spreadsheets, preparing it for analysis or reporting. 

  • Develop and document standards, processes, and governance policies for content and data management, covering best practices and system usage.

  • Manage multiple projects simultaneously, maintaining a high level of quality under tight deadlines.



Skills

About You

You are highly organised, meticulous, and comfortable handling large volumes of information. You have a natural curiosity about how data systems work and are always looking for ways to make processes more efficient. You are a reliable and effective communicator who can translate technical data concepts to non-technical colleagues.

Experience

What You'll Need

Your experience is key but your attitude is what sets you apart.

Essential:

  • Proven experience in a content management, data entry, or administrative role with a focus on data.

  • Expert proficiency with spreadsheet software (e.g., Excel, Google Sheets), including functions, pivot tables, and data validation.

  • Excellent attention to detail and a methodical approach to identifying and correcting data inaccuracies.

  • Strong written and verbal communication skills.

  • Strong understanding of how to simplify data for the end user, allowing them to make quick decisions, whilst working at pace - whether this be through charts and/ or summarising in a clean, meticulous way. 

Desirable:

  • Comfortable and familiar with basic querying and data manipulation.

  • Experience working with a Content Management System (CMS) or a Customer Relationship Management (CRM) platform.

  • Experience with data governance best practices.

  • Familiarity with version control and modern documentation practices.
