Job Description

Build the SQL, models and dashboards that run the weekly meeting at a retail chain analytics team in Secunda. If you turn up on time and finish what you start, you'll fit in quickly.

You'll be based at a retail chain analytics team in Secunda. Living nearby, or on a taxi route to it, really helps.

The work, day to day

  • Present findings to managers in plain language with clear charts
  • Write SQL to pull, join and clean data from several sources
  • Mask or remove personal information in data sets under POPIA
  • Automate weekly reports that used to take hours in Excel
  • Build simple forecasting and segmentation models in Python or R
  • Keep a data dictionary so everyone uses the same definitions

You'll need

  • Hands-on Power BI, Tableau or a similar tool
  • Able to explain what the numbers mean, not just show them
  • Strong SQL, including joins, window functions and CTEs
  • At least 2 years in a data or reporting role (not needed for graduate posts)
  • Advanced Excel
  • Careful with sensitive customer data

Helpful, not essential

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

What's in it for you

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

How to apply

  1. Read the "What you need" list above. If you tick most of it, go ahead and apply.
  2. Keep copies of these ready to send: screenshots or a link to a dashboard you built, with real data removed, certification transcripts plus academic record showing statistics or maths modules.
  3. Use the form on this page. It takes about two minutes and you don't need to upload anything yet.
  4. Watch for a call or WhatsApp from How2Apply over the next 8 working days.
