Job Description

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

This post is in Randburg (Gauteng). Please only apply if you can travel there daily. Overtime comes up in peak season and is paid.

The work, day to day

  • Meet business users to turn their questions into report requirements
  • Automate weekly reports that used to take hours in Excel
  • Build ETL pipelines in SSIS, Azure Data Factory or Python
  • Build and maintain Power BI dashboards and data models
  • Check data quality and trace odd numbers back to the source

What you need

  • Careful with sensitive customer data
  • Strong SQL, including joins, window functions and CTEs
  • Hands-on Power BI, Tableau or a similar tool
  • Able to explain what the numbers mean, not just show them

On offer

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

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: academic record showing statistics or maths modules, certification transcripts plus screenshots or a link to a dashboard you built, with real data removed.
  3. Use the form on this page. It takes about two minutes and you don't need to upload anything yet.
  4. Keep your phone on. Shortlisted applicants are contacted by call, SMS or WhatsApp within 7 working days.

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

How2Apply never charges you to apply, for training, for uniforms or for a "placement fee". If anyone asks you for money, it is a scam.

How to stand out

  • Build one public portfolio dashboard on a South African open data set if you have no work samples to share.
  • Show a before-and-after, like "replaced a 6-hour manual report with an automatic daily dashboard".
