Job Description

Questions come to you at a healthcare administrator in Alberton, and you answer them with data. It suits someone who likes knowing exactly what a good day's work looks like.

The site is in Alberton; early starts mean public transport timing matters, so check your route before applying. Overtime comes up in peak season and is paid.

The work, day to day

  • Check data quality and trace odd numbers back to the source
  • Keep a data dictionary so everyone uses the same definitions
  • Write SQL to pull, join and clean data from several sources
  • Present findings to managers in plain language with clear charts
  • Meet business users to turn their questions into report requirements
  • Build simple forecasting and segmentation models in Python or R
  • Build and maintain Power BI dashboards and data models

Must-haves

  • Careful with sensitive customer data
  • Strong SQL, including joins, window functions and CTEs
  • Hands-on Power BI, Tableau or a similar tool
  • Able to explain what the numbers mean, not just show them

Helpful, not essential

  • Microsoft PL-300 Power BI Data Analyst certification
  • Python with pandas for data wrangling
  • Industry knowledge in retail, insurance or credit

What's in it for you

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

  4. Watch for a call or WhatsApp from How2Apply over the next 10 working days.
