Job Description

You'll turn messy data into reports managers actually use, for a healthcare administrator in Centurion. You'll work with a small crew, so being easy to work with matters as much as skill.

What you'll actually do

Present findings to managers in plain language with clear charts
Build and maintain Power BI dashboards and data models
Build simple forecasting and segmentation models in Python or R
Keep a data dictionary so everyone uses the same definitions
Check data quality and trace odd numbers back to the source

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)
Able to explain what the numbers mean, not just show them
Advanced Excel

Extra points for

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

What you get

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

Applying, step by step

Make sure the role, the hours and working in Centurion 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 plus academic record showing statistics or maths modules.
Use the form on this page. It takes about two minutes and you don't need to upload anything yet.
Watch for a call or WhatsApp from How2Apply over the next 9 working days.
