What they actually want (must-haves)

  • Strong process-discovery skills, including the ability to uncover undocumented rules, exceptions, ownership gaps, and conflicting definitions.
  • Practical fluency with relational data, including entities, identifiers, joins, grain, one-to-many relationships, lifecycle states, lineage, and data quality.
  • Ability to write and review SQL to inspect, join, reconcile, and validate operational data.
  • Working knowledge of APIs, integrations, authentication, events or webhooks, failure handling, and system boundaries.
  • Strong product judgment, including the ability to scope a useful release, choose what to build next, and explain what should wait or be declined.
Nice to have
  • Experience in manufacturing, supply chain, procurement, logistics, construction, project delivery, or another physical operating environment.
  • Experience connecting commercial, operational, procurement, and financial records.
  • Familiarity with NetSuite, HubSpot, order-management tools, procurement platforms, or document-based request-for-quote (RFQ) workflows.
