Job Description

Build the SQL, models and dashboards that run the weekly meeting at a retail chain analytics team in Ballito. You'll work with a small crew, so being easy to work with matters as much as skill.

This post is in Ballito (KwaZulu-Natal). Please only apply if you can travel there daily. Start date: as soon as possible for the right person.

The work, day to day

  • Keep a data dictionary so everyone uses the same definitions
  • 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
  • Build ETL pipelines in SSIS, Azure Data Factory or Python
  • Check data quality and trace odd numbers back to the source
  • Write SQL to pull, join and clean data from several sources

What you need

  • Degree in statistics, maths, computer science, economics or a related field
  • Hands-on Power BI, Tableau or a similar tool
  • Advanced Excel
  • Careful with sensitive customer data
  • At least 2 years in a data or reporting role (not needed for graduate posts)

Nice if you have

  • Microsoft PL-300 Power BI Data Analyst certification
  • Python with pandas for data wrangling
  • Experience with Databricks, Snowflake or Fabric

What you get

  • Hybrid work with two office days
  • Latest laptop with extra screen

  3. Send your details with the form below. Add one or two lines about similar work you've done.
  4. Keep your phone on. Shortlisted applicants are contacted by call, SMS or WhatsApp within 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 Ballito.

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.
  • Put SQL and your BI tool in the first line of your CV; these are the keywords every data recruiter searches.
