Junior Web Developer

Blue Oak Consulting helps businesses find clarity where the answer is not obvious. We perform rigorous economic analysis to help firms understand where their capital is trapped and where their pricing logic is broken. We are looking for a Junior Web Developer to help build the tools that make this analysis visible and actionable.

About Blue Oak

• We specialize in providing commercial advice based on data rather than corporate momentum.
• Our team looks at pricing architectures, capital allocation, and fixed cost structures to find leaking value.
• We prioritize clear thinking and plain speaking, avoiding the jargon common in strategy consulting.
• As a fully remote firm, we focus on the quality of work and the logic of the results.
• We test assumptions under pressure to ensure that our clients make decisions that hold up even if base case scenarios fail.
  
  

The role

You will be responsible for building and maintaining clean, functional interfaces for various dashboards and internal tools. This is a full-time, permanent position that requires a disciplined approach to code and a focus on accuracy. You will work alongside our development and analysis teams to ensure that complex business variables are presented in a simple, readable manner.

What you will do

• Translate design mockups into functional web components with high precision.
• Build and expand our internal library of reusable code and components.
