Duties & Responsibilities
Have you built a dashboard that someone actually trusted enough to make a decision from? We're headhunting Data Analysts who know that a good dashboard is only as good as the data behind it. This isn't a role where you pull a report, make the charts look nice, and move on. You'll be taking messy data and real business questions all the way through to something useful; understanding the problem, modelling the data, validating the numbers, and building reporting that people rely on. Think:
• SQL - investigating data, finding patterns and answering business questions • dbt - building reliable, reusable data transformations • Tableau - dashboards, recurring reports and actionable insights • Data modelling, quality and validation - knowing where the numbers came from and why they're right • Ad-hoc analysis - finding answers when the business needs them The sweet spot? 2-3+ years in data analytics or data science , with a completed bachelor's degree in a relevant quantitative field . Experience in financial services, consulting or high-growth tech is a big plus. Apply Now!
