Job Description

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

You'll report in Centurion. Relocation is not covered for this one. Start date: as soon as possible for the right person.

What your day looks like

  • Keep a data dictionary so everyone uses the same definitions
  • Build and maintain Power BI dashboards and data models
  • Build simple forecasting and segmentation models in Python or R
  • Meet business users to turn their questions into report requirements
  • Mask or remove personal information in data sets under POPIA

You'll need

  • Strong SQL, including joins, window functions and CTEs
  • Careful with sensitive customer data
  • 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)
  • Hands-on Power BI, Tableau or a similar tool

Helpful, not essential

  • Python with pandas for data wrangling
  • Microsoft PL-300 Power BI Data Analyst certification

On offer

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