About the Job or Project

We are looking for a Microsoft Excel expert to join our team. You will develop new solutions and update existing spreadsheets including complex formulas and extensive VBA programming.

• Work from home (with the possibility of some on-site work)
• Flexible hours, 10 to 25 hours per week, varying depending on client requirements. (Some regular availability during standard business hours will be required.)
• Ongoing role with recurring work
• Attractive hourly rates, negotiable on experience
• Work as a casual employee or as a subcontractor with your own ABN
• An integral part of the Digiwise team with support and personal development opportunities

The role would suit someone who is looking for work that compliments other commitments. You could be an established freelancer, semi-retired or looking to work around family/study commitments. Digiwise will engage you as a contractor through your own company.

Digiwise welcomes applicants with decades of experience or applicants early in their career but already proving outstanding capabilities. We recognise that nobody “knows everything” and are looking for applicants that have a rock-solid foundation, with the ability to rapidly build on that foundation to meet our client’s requirements.

This role is focused on Microsoft Excel, but complimentary software development skills such as Microsoft Access, SQL Server and web application development would be highly regarded.
