Job Description

Questions come to you at a short-term insurer in Sandton, and you answer them with data. People who do well here are steady, honest and not scared to ask when something is unclear.

The site is in Sandton; early starts mean public transport timing matters, so check your route before applying.

What you'll actually do

  • Build ETL pipelines in SSIS, Azure Data Factory or Python
  • Meet business users to turn their questions into report requirements
  • Mask or remove personal information in data sets under POPIA
  • Check data quality and trace odd numbers back to the source
  • Build simple forecasting and segmentation models in Python or R
  • Automate weekly reports that used to take hours in Excel
  • Write SQL to pull, join and clean data from several sources

Must-haves

  • Hands-on Power BI, Tableau or a similar tool
  • Able to explain what the numbers mean, not just show them
  • At least 2 years in a data or reporting role (not needed for graduate posts)
  • Advanced Excel
  • Degree in statistics, maths, computer science, economics or a related field
  • Careful with sensitive customer data

What you get

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

How to apply

  1. Check you meet the must-haves first; recruiters filter on those before anything else.
  2. Keep copies of these ready to send: screenshots or a link to a dashboard you built, with real data removed plus certification transcripts.
  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 7 working days.

  • Show a before-and-after, like "replaced a 6-hour manual report with an automatic daily dashboard".
