We combine technical problem‑solving, automation, and process improvement to build practical solutions to everyday business challenges. Our work spans digital workflows, software tools, systems integration, and operational efficiency.

The Opportunity

We’re looking for a curious and motivated Junior Technology & Operations Associate to help support a growing range of technical and operational projects.

This is an opportunity for someone early in their career who enjoys figuring out how things work, learning new technologies, and turning complicated problems into practical solutions.

You’ll work directly with the consultant leading projects, contributing to research, implementation, testing, and documentation across different business and technical challenges.

Because we’re a small consultancy, you’ll gain exposure to several aspects of project delivery rather than being limited to a single, repetitive responsibility.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Technology & automation: Assist with developing, testing, and improving digital workflows, lightweight automations, and software integrations.
• Business process improvement: Analyze existing workflows, identify inefficiencies, and help develop practical solutions.
• Digital systems: Support the configuration and improvement of websites, spreadsheets, business applications, and other digital tools.
• Research & problem-solving: Explore emerging technologies, investigate technical challenges, and evaluate potential solutions.
• Project support: Help organize project materials, document requirements, test functionality, and prepare client‑facing deliverables.

Projects will vary based on current needs and your developing skills.

Who We’re Looking For

You don’t need an extensive professional background or expertise in every technology we use.

We’re particularly interested in candidates who demonstrate:

• Strong curiosity about technology and how businesses operate.
• Logical thinking and a structured approach to problem‑solving.
• Initiative, reliability, and attention to detail.
• Comfort learning new tools and working independently.
• Clear written communication and an ability to explain technical concepts simply.

Familiarity with Python, JavaScript, Excel, APIs, web development, or no‑code automation tools is an advantage, but not required.

Students, recent graduates, career changers, and self‑taught candidates are encouraged to apply. Relevant personal or academic projects are valued.

Why Join Ridgway

• Real project experience: Contribute to practical technology and operational challenges.
• Direct involvement: Work closely with the person designing and implementing solutions.
• Varied exposure: Explore automation, software, business systems, research, and consulting.
• Flexible work: Part‑time hours designed to accommodate other commitments.
• Room to grow: Opportunities to take on additional responsibility as your capabilities develop.

We’re more interested in what you can learn, solve, and contribute than in the prestige of your credentials.
