Job Description

A microlender in George needs dashboards people trust and numbers that add up. If you learn fast and don't mind being shown things twice, you'll settle in within a few weeks.

You'll report in George. Relocation is not covered for this one.

What your day looks like

  • Build ETL pipelines in SSIS, Azure Data Factory or Python
  • Build simple forecasting and segmentation models in Python or R
  • Mask or remove personal information in data sets under POPIA
  • Present findings to managers in plain language with clear charts
  • Write SQL to pull, join and clean data from several sources
  • Check data quality and trace odd numbers back to the source
  • Meet business users to turn their questions into report requirements

You'll need

  • Hands-on Power BI, Tableau or a similar tool
  • Degree in statistics, maths, computer science, economics or a related field
  • Strong SQL, including joins, window functions and CTEs
  • Advanced Excel

Nice if you have

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

What you get

  • Latest laptop with extra screen
  • Hybrid work with two office days
  • Paid cloud and BI certifications

How to apply

  1. Read the "What you need" list above. If you tick most of it, go ahead and apply.
  2. Get these ready, because shortlisted people are asked for them straight away: academic record showing statistics or maths modules plus certification transcripts.
  3. Use the form on this page. It takes about two minutes and you don't need to upload anything yet.
  4. If you're shortlisted you'll hear from us within 6 working days, usually by phone.

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

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

  • Put SQL and your BI tool in the first line of your CV; these are the keywords every data recruiter searches.
  • Show a before-and-after, like "replaced a 6-hour manual report with an automatic daily dashboard".
