Job Description

You'll turn messy data into reports managers actually use, for a telecoms provider in Isando. You don't need to be the loudest person in the room, just the one others can count on.

The site is in Isando; early starts mean public transport timing matters, so check your route before applying. Weekend work is on a roster, so you won't be on every weekend.

The work, day to day

  • Write SQL to pull, join and clean data from several sources
  • Build ETL pipelines in SSIS, Azure Data Factory or Python
  • Automate weekly reports that used to take hours in Excel
  • Build and maintain Power BI dashboards and data models
  • Keep a data dictionary so everyone uses the same definitions
  • Mask or remove personal information in data sets under POPIA

Must-haves

  • Strong SQL, including joins, window functions and CTEs
  • Degree in statistics, maths, computer science, economics or a related field
  • Advanced Excel
  • At least 2 years in a data or reporting role (not needed for graduate posts)
  • Careful with sensitive customer data

Nice if you have

  • Python with pandas for data wrangling
  • Industry knowledge in retail, insurance or credit

What you get

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

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 screenshots or a link to a dashboard you built, with real data removed.
  3. Use the form on this page. It takes about two minutes and you don't need to upload anything yet.
  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 Isando.

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.

Tips to get shortlisted

  • Build one public portfolio dashboard on a South African open data set if you have no work samples to share.
  • Show a before-and-after, like "replaced a 6-hour manual report with an automatic daily dashboard".
