Job Description

Build the SQL, models and dashboards that run the weekly meeting at a short-term insurer in Bellville. It's the kind of job where doing the basics well every day gets you noticed.

The work is in Bellville, Western Cape, so you'll need a reliable way to get there every day. You'll start with a short induction before working on your own.

What you'll actually do

Automate weekly reports that used to take hours in Excel
Check data quality and trace odd numbers back to the source
Write SQL to pull, join and clean data from several sources
Meet business users to turn their questions into report requirements
Mask or remove personal information in data sets under POPIA

You'll need

Degree in statistics, maths, computer science, economics or a related field
Able to explain what the numbers mean, not just show them
Hands-on Power BI, Tableau or a similar tool
At least 2 years in a data or reporting role (not needed for graduate posts)

Helpful, not essential

Python with pandas for data wrangling
Experience with Databricks, Snowflake or Fabric

What's in it for you

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

How to apply

Make sure the role, the hours and working in Bellville really suit you before you apply.
Have the following on hand (clear photos on your phone are fine at first): academic record showing statistics or maths modules plus screenshots or a link to a dashboard you built, with real data removed.
Send your details with the form below. Add one or two lines about similar work you've done.
Watch for a call or WhatsApp from How2Apply over the next 8 working days.

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

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.

Before you hit apply

Build one public portfolio dashboard on a South African open data set if you have no work samples to share.
Put SQL and your BI tool in the first line of your CV; these are the keywords every data recruiter searches.
