Job Title
Technical Systems & Data Automation Manager
Overview
You’ll play a key role in improving how Story9 operates day-to-day.
Working across campaign, finance, ad operations and business teams, your focus is on streamlining reporting, automating manual tasks, and improving how our internal tools, like Platform9 and the Story9 Portal, support the teams who use them. You will be working on a backlog of existing capability as well as suggesting new ideas and improvements.
You’ll work closely with different departments to understand their needs, identify pain points, and develop practical solutions. You’ll explore new technologies, improve data flows, and help define best practice so that everyone can work smarter and more efficiently.
This role requires a curious mind, always on the look out for ways to make improvements but with the ability to make those ideas a reality through business analysis and hands-on development of processes.

- Connect and streamline reporting systems, billing pipelines, and delivery trackers.
- Create auto-generated dashboards and reports for campaign teams, finance, and business managers.
Data Analysis & Reporting Design
