RPA Support Specialist

The RPA Support Specialist assists in the maintenance and monitoring of automated workflows that handle critical financial data. This position is vital for ensuring that the information we use to advise our clients is accurate and flows through their systems without interruption.

About Blue Oak Consulting
Blue Oak Consulting provides independent advisory on pricing, portfolio economics, capital allocation, and acquisition assumptions. We are not a traditional consulting firm focused on broad transformation programs or high level strategy decks. Instead, we interrogate specific commercial decisions where the financial stakes are high and the existing narrative is not sufficient. Our team looks past corporate language and P&L complexity to identify where value is leaking or capital is trapped. We work across sectors like software, manufacturing, and healthcare to test whether the assumptions behind a growth plan or an acquisition actually hold under pressure. We are a small, principal led firm where the people who do the work are the ones accountable for the results. We do not take transaction contingent fees, which allows us to be completely honest about whether the economics of a decision make sense. Our goal is to provide clarity through financial discipline and a healthy amount of skepticism. We stay through the execution phase because decisions that look sound in theory often fail when they meet real world friction.

The Role
This is a remote, entry level position focused on the technical side of our analytical work. Our client manages a major international logistics network, and they rely on automated processes to move massive amounts of data through their financial systems. As an RPA Support Specialist, you will monitor these automated tasks, identify why a process might have failed, and help fix scripts so the data remains clean. You will not just be watching a screen: you will be learning how these automations support high stakes financial decisions and helping us ensure that the data we use for our models is sound. Because we are a small firm, you will see how your technical support directly affects the advice we give to clients. This role is fully remote, requiring someone who can manage their time and stay focused on technical details without direct supervision.

What You Will Be Doing

• Monitoring scheduled automation runs to ensure they complete without errors.
• Reviewing logs to identify the root cause of failures or data discrepancies.
• Updating existing scripts and workflows when a client system or interface changes.
• Testing new automations in a controlled environment before they are used in production.
• Documenting technical processes so the rest of the team understands how data is collected.
• Communicating with senior advisors when data delays might affect a project timeline.
• Helping to map out manual processes that could be improved through basic automation.
• Ensuring that all automated data transfers comply with the client security protocols.
• Organizing processed data so it can be easily reviewed during financial audits.

What You Bring

• A degree in a technical or analytical field, such as computer science, information systems, or business analytics.
• Basic familiarity with automation tools or a strong desire to learn how to use them.
• A logical approach to problem solving and an interest in how software systems interact.
• Comfort working with data in spreadsheets and a basic understanding of logic based programming.
• Strong attention to detail, especially when looking through logs or code for small errors.
• Reliable communication skills and the ability to explain technical issues in plain English.
• A disciplined work ethic suitable for a fully remote environment.
• An investigative mindset that enjoys finding out why a process is not working as expected.
• The ability to follow technical documentation accurately and suggest improvements when needed.

What We Offer

• A fully remote work arrangement that allows you to work from your own space.
• Competitive pay that is attractive for an entry level technical role.
• Direct access to senior leaders who value technical accuracy and honest feedback.
• Hands on training with automation tools and financial analysis workflows.
• A professional environment free from unnecessary corporate layers and jargon.
• The chance to work on high stakes projects for a client managing a major global infrastructure.
• A clear focus on technical truth and financial discipline rather than corporate presentation.

Working at Blue Oak Consulting means being part of a team that values truth over presentation. We do not care about flashy slides: we care about whether the numbers are right and if the logic holds up. For an entry level professional, this is an environment where you can build a solid foundation in both technical automation and commercial analysis. We expect our team members to be curious and to speak up when they see something that does not make sense. It is this commitment to accuracy and skepticism that helps our clients avoid costly mistakes and find real value in their operations.
