Job Description

You'll turn messy data into reports managers actually use, for a microlender in Alberton. Bring a calm head on busy days and you'll be fine.

You'll be based at a microlender in Alberton. Living nearby, or on a taxi route to it, really helps. Shifts rotate, so you'll need to be flexible about days and nights.

The work, day to day

  • Meet business users to turn their questions into report requirements
  • Present findings to managers in plain language with clear charts
  • Keep a data dictionary so everyone uses the same definitions
  • Automate weekly reports that used to take hours in Excel
  • Build and maintain Power BI dashboards and data models
  • Write SQL to pull, join and clean data from several sources

Must-haves

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

What's in it for you

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

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, academic record showing statistics or maths modules plus certification transcripts.
  3. Send your details with the form below. Add one or two lines about similar work you've done.
  4. Keep your phone on. Shortlisted applicants are contacted by call, SMS or WhatsApp within 7 working days.

Your application joins the How2Apply talent pool for this role, and we put shortlisted people forward to employers hiring in and around Alberton.

How2Apply never charges you to apply, for training, for uniforms or for a "placement fee". If anyone asks you for money, it is a scam.

Before you hit apply

  • 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.
