Job Description

You'll turn messy data into reports managers actually use, for a retail chain analytics team in Rosslyn. You don't need to be the loudest person in the room, just the one others can count on.

This post is Rosslyn-based, with most of your time spent at a retail chain analytics team. Most weeks are 45 hours, in line with the BCEA.

What your day looks like

Automate weekly reports that used to take hours in Excel
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
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

You'll need

Careful with sensitive customer data
Hands-on Power BI, Tableau or a similar tool
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

Experience with Databricks, Snowflake or Fabric
Industry knowledge in retail, insurance or credit

What you get

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

How to apply

Check you meet the must-haves first; recruiters filter on those before anything else.
Have the following on hand (clear photos on your phone are fine at first): academic record showing statistics or maths modules, certification transcripts plus screenshots or a link to a dashboard you built, with real data removed.
Fill in the short form below with your name and a phone number you actually answer.
If you're shortlisted you'll hear from us within 8 working days, usually by phone.

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

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