Job Description

A short-term insurer in Randburg needs dashboards people trust and numbers that add up. This is a good step for someone who wants proper routine and a manager who notices good work.

The site is in Randburg; early starts mean public transport timing matters, so check your route before applying. Start is planned for the beginning of next month.

What you'll actually do

Mask or remove personal information in data sets under POPIA
Present findings to managers in plain language with clear charts
Build and maintain Power BI dashboards and data models
Build ETL pipelines in SSIS, Azure Data Factory or Python
Write SQL to pull, join and clean data from several sources
Check data quality and trace odd numbers back to the source
Meet business users to turn their questions into report requirements

What you need

Strong SQL, including joins, window functions and CTEs
At least 2 years in a data or reporting role (not needed for graduate posts)
Degree in statistics, maths, computer science, economics or a related field
Able to explain what the numbers mean, not just show them

Helpful, not essential

Python with pandas for data wrangling
Experience with Databricks, Snowflake or Fabric
Industry knowledge in retail, insurance or credit

On offer

Hybrid work with two office days
Annual bonus tied to company performance
Latest laptop with extra screen

Applying, step by step

Make sure the role, the hours and working in Randburg really suit you before you apply.
Have the following on hand (clear photos on your phone are fine at first): screenshots or a link to a dashboard you built, with real data removed, academic record showing statistics or maths modules plus certification transcripts.
Use the form on this page. It takes about two minutes and you don't need to upload anything yet.
Keep your phone on. Shortlisted applicants are contacted by call, SMS or WhatsApp within 6 working days.

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

Applying is free. Nobody from How2Apply will ever ask you to pay for anything to get this job.

How to stand out

Show a before-and-after, like "replaced a 6-hour manual report with an automatic daily dashboard".
Build one public portfolio dashboard on a South African open data set if you have no work samples to share.
