Data Analyst

Summary

Build Power BI/Tableau dashboards, write SQL and ETL pipelines, and translate data into actionable insights across SA and UK teams.

We're looking for a sharp, self-directed Data Analyst to turn raw data into decisions that matter - across both South African and United Kingdom business entities. This isn't a report-runner role. You'll own the full data lifecycle: ingestion, modelling, visualisation, and stakeholder reporting, all while navigating a fast-moving, multi-project environment where priorities shift and no two days look the same.

This is a Hybrid / Remote role.

What you'll be doing:

  • Build and maintain interactive dashboards and automated reports in Power BI or Tableau - publication-ready, stakeholder-facing.

  • Write optimised SQL, build ETL pipelines, and maintain dimensional data models across cloud and on-premise environments.

  • Translate complex findings into plain-language insights for non-technical audiences - from operations to the board.

  • Identify inefficiencies in data processes and implement improvements independently - without waiting to be asked.

  • Monitor KPIs, catch anomalies early, and escalate risks before they land on someone's desk as a crisis.

  • Collaborate across SA and UK time zones, adapting outputs to each jurisdiction's regulatory and business context.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor's degree in Data Science, Computer Science, Statistics, Maths, or Information Systems (or equivalent experience).

  • 3–6 years in a data analyst or BI role, delivering in fast-paced, multi-project environments.

  • Microsoft PL-300 or DP-203 certification is a strong advantage.

  • POPIA and/or GDPR compliance experience - you handle data with care and you know the rules.

  • Self-starter who takes ownership end-to-end and escalates early rather than late.

Work Location: Hybrid remote in Paarl, Western Cape
