Job description

You’ll split your time between:

  • Client project work - data cleaning, analysis, and reporting for live engagements. You’ll work alongside our team, learning how real data becomes actionable insights.
  • Internal pipeline and tool development - helping build and maintain the data workflows we use across projects (Power Query, SQL, BI tools).
  • Intelligence and investigative research - examining trade networks, cross-referencing sources, and turning fragmented data into structured intelligence products.
  • Learning and growth - shadowing senior team members and taking on increasingly complex tasks as you grow confidence.

Requirements

We’re looking for a sharp, curious Data Analyst to join our team. This is a fantastic entry point if you’ve built strong analytical fundamentals and want to learn from experienced practitioners on real client projects., * Strong academic background in data analysis, statistics, mathematics, computer science, or related field

  • Proficiency in Excel (spreadsheet formulas, pivot tables, data manipulation)
  • SQL - you can write SELECT queries, JOIN tables, and filter data
  • Familiarity with at least one BI tool (Power BI, Tableau) or willingness to learn quickly
  • Analytical mindset - comfortable working with incomplete information and drawing sound, data-driven conclusions
  • Attention to detail - data quality matters, and you care about accuracy

Nice-to-have:

  • Experience with Power Query
  • Exposure to Python or R
  • A portfolio or GitHub with a data analysis project
  • Experience with cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, Google Cloud)

What Makes You Stand Out

  • You’re proactive - you spot data quality issues and suggest improvements without being asked.
  • You ask good questions and aren’t afraid to say ‘I don’t know yet’
  • You’re flexible - our work is varied and we value adaptability
  • You enjoy problem-solving and can communicate findings to non-technical stakeholders.
  • You’re genuinely curious about how data can drive better decisions., You’re likely a recent graduate or career-changer who excels at analytical thinking. You might have experience in statistics, database design, or analytics. You’re comfortable with spreadsheets and SQL, and you want to move beyond textbook exercises into real work. You’re intellectually curious, enjoy learning on the job, and see this role as the start of a solid data career.
