Job Description

You'll turn messy data into reports managers actually use, for a microlender in Atlantis. You'll work with a small crew, so being easy to work with matters as much as skill.

The work is in Atlantis, Western Cape, so you'll need a reliable way to get there every day.

What you'll actually do

  • Meet business users to turn their questions into report requirements
  • Write SQL to pull, join and clean data from several sources
  • Automate weekly reports that used to take hours in Excel
  • Keep a data dictionary so everyone uses the same definitions
  • Check data quality and trace odd numbers back to the source
  • Build and maintain Power BI dashboards and data models
  • Build simple forecasting and segmentation models in Python or R

Must-haves

  • 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
  • Careful with sensitive customer data

What you get

  • Paid cloud and BI certifications
  • Annual bonus tied to company performance
  • Latest laptop with extra screen
