Job Description

Questions come to you at a telecoms provider in Montague Gardens, and you answer them with data. If you turn up on time and finish what you start, you'll fit in quickly.

This post is in Montague Gardens (Western Cape). Please only apply if you can travel there daily.

What you'll actually do

  • Automate weekly reports that used to take hours in Excel
  • Meet business users to turn their questions into report requirements
  • Check data quality and trace odd numbers back to the source
  • Build and maintain Power BI dashboards and data models
  • Mask or remove personal information in data sets under POPIA
  • Build simple forecasting and segmentation models in Python or R
  • Keep a data dictionary so everyone uses the same definitions

What you need

  • Able to explain what the numbers mean, not just show them
  • Degree in statistics, maths, computer science, economics or a related field
  • Strong SQL, including joins, window functions and CTEs
  • Hands-on Power BI, Tableau or a similar tool
  • At least 2 years in a data or reporting role (not needed for graduate posts)

Helpful, not essential

  • Python with pandas for data wrangling
  • Microsoft PL-300 Power BI Data Analyst certification

What's in it for you

  • Annual bonus tied to company performance
  • Hybrid work with two office days
  • Latest laptop with extra screen
  • Paid cloud and BI certifications

How to apply

  1. Check you meet the must-haves first; recruiters filter on those before anything else.
  2. Have the following on hand (clear photos on your phone are fine at first): academic record showing statistics or maths modules plus screenshots or a link to a dashboard you built, with real data removed.
  3. Use the form on this page. It takes about two minutes and you don't need to upload anything yet.
  4. Keep your phone on. Shortlisted applicants are contacted by call, SMS or WhatsApp within 6 working days.

Tips to get shortlisted

  • Put SQL and your BI tool in the first line of your CV; these are the keywords every data recruiter searches.
  • Build one public portfolio dashboard on a South African open data set if you have no work samples to share.
