Job Description

  • We’re headhunting Data Analysts who know that a good dashboard is only as good as the data behind it.
  • This isn’t a role where you pull a report, make the charts look nice, and move on.
  • You’ll be taking messy data and real business questions all the way through to something useful; understanding the problem, modelling the data, validating the numbers, and building reporting that people rely on.

Think:

  • SQL – investigating data, finding patterns and answering business questions
  • dbt – building reliable, reusable data transformations
  • Tableau – dashboards, recurring reports and actionable insights
  • Data modelling, quality and validation – knowing where the numbers came from and why they’re right
  • Ad-hoc analysis – finding answers when the business needs them
  • The sweet spot? 2-3+ years in data analytics or data science, with a completed bachelor’s degree in a relevant quantitative field.
  • Experience in financial services, consulting or high-growth tech is a big plus.
