Job Description

A healthcare administrator in Harrismith 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.

You'll be based at a healthcare administrator in Harrismith. Living nearby, or on a taxi route to it, really helps.

What you'll actually do

  • Automate weekly reports that used to take hours in Excel
  • Write SQL to pull, join and clean data from several sources
  • Present findings to managers in plain language with clear charts
  • Build simple forecasting and segmentation models in Python or R
  • Build and maintain Power BI dashboards and data models
  • Meet business users to turn their questions into report requirements
  • Keep a data dictionary so everyone uses the same definitions

You'll need

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

Nice if you have

  • Industry knowledge in retail, insurance or credit
  • Microsoft PL-300 Power BI Data Analyst certification

What's in it for you

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