AI Implementation Specialist
SONAH Group is looking for an AI Implementation Specialist to take AI from experiments to real business results. In this newly created role you will identify where AI can help, build practical tools, train teams across the Group, and help establish responsible AI practices across the organisation.
The point of it is simple. The people we work with every day should find their jobs easier, faster and with fewer errors. Our own people first, then the installers and suppliers who deal with us. And it should keep getting better: feedback loops across the company that run all the time, so what works spreads and what breaks gets fixed.
What you'll do
- Work closely with our IT departments to bring a fresh approach to how AI tools and good practice are rolled out and adopted across the Group.
- Design and implement AI-powered workflows, automations and repeatable tools across departments.
- Set up feedback loops across the company: what worked, what broke, what to change next, heard from every department and acted on.
- Partner with business leaders, IT and security to establish AI governance and responsible-use standards.
- Measure adoption, productivity gains and return, and share the insights with leadership.
- Develop training materials, playbooks and resources that help teams across the Group use AI with confidence.
- Stay informed on emerging AI technologies and recommend practical applications for the business.
What you bring
- Experience developing, implementing or supporting software, or a degree in computer science.
- Daily use of AI tools and prompt engineering.
- Strong analytical, problem-solving and communication skills.
- The ability to explain technical concepts to a variety of audiences.
- Experience creating documentation, procedures or training materials.
- The ability to work independently while collaborating across teams.
- A valid driver's licence and willingness to travel occasionally.

Pricing Analyst
SONAH Group is looking for a Pricing Analyst to make sure every price a customer sees is right the first time. Our customers buy through a trade portal that is open around the clock, and you own what they see there.
You will look at what we sell, what it costs us and what each customer pays, then find where margin is leaking and fix it. You will keep supplier price changes, customer price lists and project pricing up to date in our systems, so the portal, quotes and invoices always agree.
What you'll do
- Analyse sales, cost and margin data, and recommend price changes by range, brand and customer group.
- Track supplier price increases and exchange-rate moves, and update selling prices before they reach an invoice.
- Maintain customer price lists and special project pricing in Odoo, including start and end dates, so nothing lapses or runs below cost.
- Catch pricing errors in the portal, such as missing prices, negative margins and old costs, and correct them.
- Build simple reports on margin, price overrides and pricing accuracy, and share them every month.
- Check what the market charges for key lines so our prices stay competitive without giving margin away.
- Prepare price files and imports when new ranges and brands are added.
- Learn every pricing tool we use and help automate the repetitive parts.
What you bring
- A degree or diploma in finance, economics, industrial engineering, data or similar, or two or more years in pricing or analysis.
- Strong Excel or Google Sheets skills. Odoo or any other ERP system is a plus.
- A head for numbers and the habit of double-checking them.
- Clear writing, and the confidence to push back when a price doesn't make sense.
- Electrical, solar or wholesale experience is welcome but not required.
What we offer
A role that shapes how a growing wholesaler makes money, direct access to the General Manager, and room to build the pricing function from scratch.
To apply
Send a CV and a short note on a pricing or margin problem you have fixed to admin@sonahgroup.com. Subject line: Pricing Analyst.

Product Data Intern
Our customers order through a trade portal, and they can only buy what they can find. Every product needs the right name, code, photo, datasheet, specifications and category, or an installer searching for a 5 kW hybrid inverter or a 63 A isolator won't find it.
As Product Data Intern you look after that catalogue. You will load new ranges, clean up the products we already list, and make search on the portal return what the trade is actually looking for.
What you'll do
- Load new products and ranges into Odoo with supplier codes, descriptions, specifications, photos and datasheets.
- Check existing products for gaps and errors: missing images, wrong units, duplicate items, old datasheets.
- Keep categories and filters consistent so customers can browse by range, brand and rating.
- Test portal search with the words installers really use, and fix what doesn't come up.
- Get product files and content from suppliers, and put them into one standard format.
- Keep the public brand and range pages accurate so new customers can find SONAH through search engines.
- Report every month on how complete the catalogue is and which ranges still need work.
- Help automate the repetitive parts, such as bulk imports and AI-written first drafts of descriptions, then check them by hand.
What you'll bring
- Studying towards or recently finished a degree or diploma in business, marketing, information systems, engineering or similar.
- Strong Excel or Google Sheets skills, and comfort with large lists.
- A sharp eye for detail. A wrong number on a product code bothers you.
- Interest in electrical and solar products. We'll teach you the rest.
- Experience with e-commerce, Odoo or any online store is a plus.
What we offer
Real ownership of the catalogue a growing wholesaler sells from, direct access to the General Manager, and a clear path into a product or e-commerce role.
