Job Description

Build the SQL, models and dashboards that run the weekly meeting at a healthcare administrator in Ballito. Bring a calm head on busy days and you'll be fine.

Home base is a healthcare administrator on the Ballito side of KwaZulu-Natal. The first two weeks are spent shadowing someone experienced.

What your day looks like

  • Keep a data dictionary so everyone uses the same definitions
  • Write SQL to pull, join and clean data from several sources
  • Mask or remove personal information in data sets under POPIA
  • Build and maintain Power BI dashboards and data models
  • Check data quality and trace odd numbers back to the source

Must-haves

  • Degree in statistics, maths, computer science, economics or a related field
  • Able to explain what the numbers mean, not just show them
  • Advanced Excel
  • Careful with sensitive customer data
  • Strong SQL, including joins, window functions and CTEs

On offer

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

  3. Send your details with the form below. Add one or two lines about similar work you've done.
  4. Watch for a call or WhatsApp from How2Apply over the next 9 working days.
