POSITION INFO:

We value a data analyst as someone who works behind the scenes to explore, process and document the input, use and output of data via various methodologies and technologies, to various consumers, in ways and forms that make sense and add value. 

You may be the type of data analyst that dives into the data in order to make sense of large amounts of data, in order to be consumed by a  data pipeline or other tool, or you may be the type of data analyst that takes on a logical problem and goes to the nth degree to discover where the fault lies.

You have awesome knowledge about the following concepts 

• Turning customer requirements into technical documentation / definitions
• Documentation of the inner workings of data structures
• Relational data modelling in traditional relational database management systems (Microsoft SQL Server, MySQL, PostgreSQL, etc)
• Coercing unstructured and semi-structured data into a structured form
• Data pipelining knowledge - data extraction and transformation
• Data transformation knowledge for reporting and analytics purposes.

You have the following technical competencies

• Writing SQL queries, that can relate, transform and aggregate data from many differing sources where natural keys may or may not exist
• Experience with writing data pipelines that move and transform data, for various uses
• 2 - 4 years relevant experience in a similar role

You have the following personal competencies

• The ability to solve problems
• The ability to rotate around a problem, to see if solutions can be gained in different ways
• The ability to work in an ever changing, unstructured environment
• The ability to work as part of a team, with vastly differing skill sets and opinions
• A systems approach to thinking, as opposed to a siloed approach. The candidate needs to understand how their work affects the greater system
• The ability to work without supervision, and take accountability for the work they deliver
• The ability to liaise with a client, sifting through the fluff and extracting the actual requirements
