Job Description

Build the SQL, models and dashboards that run the weekly meeting at a retail chain analytics team in Soweto. It's the kind of job where doing the basics well every day gets you noticed.

The work is in Soweto, Gauteng, so you'll need a reliable way to get there every day. You'll start with a short induction before working on your own.

The work, day to day

  • Present findings to managers in plain language with clear charts
  • Write SQL to pull, join and clean data from several sources
  • Automate weekly reports that used to take hours in Excel
  • Build ETL pipelines in SSIS, Azure Data Factory or Python
  • Check data quality and trace odd numbers back to the source
  • Build simple forecasting and segmentation models in Python or R

Must-haves

  • Strong SQL, including joins, window functions and CTEs
  • Advanced Excel
  • Hands-on Power BI, Tableau or a similar tool
  • Able to explain what the numbers mean, not just show them

Nice if you have

  • Microsoft PL-300 Power BI Data Analyst certification
  • Experience with Databricks, Snowflake or Fabric

What's in it for you

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