Job Description

You'll turn messy data into reports managers actually use, for a short-term insurer in Vanderbijlpark. People who do well here are steady, honest and not scared to ask when something is unclear.

You'll be based at a short-term insurer in Vanderbijlpark. Living nearby, or on a taxi route to it, really helps.

What your day looks like

  • Mask or remove personal information in data sets under POPIA
  • Build ETL pipelines in SSIS, Azure Data Factory or Python
  • Present findings to managers in plain language with clear charts
  • Meet business users to turn their questions into report requirements
  • Check data quality and trace odd numbers back to the source

What you need

  • Able to explain what the numbers mean, not just show them
  • Careful with sensitive customer data
  • Degree in statistics, maths, computer science, economics or a related field
  • Strong SQL, including joins, window functions and CTEs
  • At least 2 years in a data or reporting role (not needed for graduate posts)

On offer

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

How to apply for this job

  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: certification transcripts, academic record showing statistics or maths modules plus screenshots or a link to a dashboard you built, with real data removed.
  3. Send your details with the form below. Add one or two lines about similar work you've done.
  4. Watch for a call or WhatsApp from How2Apply over the next 10 working days.
