Job Description

Questions come to you at a retail chain analytics team in Worcester, and you answer them with data. It's a practical job: you'll see what you got done before you go home.

The site is in Worcester; early starts mean public transport timing matters, so check your route before applying. There's a probation period of three months before the contract is confirmed.

What you'll actually do

  • Build simple forecasting and segmentation models in Python or R
  • Meet business users to turn their questions into report requirements
  • Build and maintain Power BI dashboards and data models
  • Automate weekly reports that used to take hours in Excel
  • Mask or remove personal information in data sets under POPIA
  • Present findings to managers in plain language with clear charts

You'll need

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

What you get

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

Applying, step by step

  1. Check you meet the must-haves first; recruiters filter on those before anything else.
  2. Have the following on hand (clear photos on your phone are fine at first): academic record showing statistics or maths modules plus certification transcripts.
  3. Fill in the short form below with your name and a phone number you actually answer.
  4. Watch for a call or WhatsApp from How2Apply over the next 5 working days.

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

Applying is free. Nobody from How2Apply will ever ask you to pay for anything to get this job.

How to stand out

  • 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".
