Build ETL pipelines in SSIS, Azure Data Factory or Python
Keep a data dictionary so everyone uses the same definitions

Strong SQL, including joins, window functions and CTEs
Degree in statistics, maths, computer science, economics or a related field
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
