As we scale, we are building a team of sharp, curious, and driven individuals who love solving real problems with data. If you thrive at the intersection of analytics and business impact, this role is built for you.

What You Will Do

• Mine business and financial data to uncover insights that matter going beyond surface-level numbers to identify trends, anomalies, and opportunities that directly inform strategic decisions.
• Translate complex data findings into clear, compelling narratives for leadership and cross-functional stakeholders, ensuring insights are understood and acted upon not just acknowledged.
• Partner with teams across finance, operations, product, and marketing to define the right metrics, understand their goals, and deliver analyses that address real business priorities.
• Own the preparation of monthly financial and business performance reports for leadership and investors with a strong emphasis on accuracy, consistency, and contextual storytelling.
• Ensure data integrity through rigorous validation and reconciliation across systems including CRM, finance, and operations, so that every insight shared is one stakeholders can trust.
• Build and maintain dashboards that give teams live visibility into KPIs aligned with business goals making data accessible to the people who need it most.
• Spearhead automated reporting initiatives identifying repetitive manual tasks and transforming them into scheduled, reliable, automated pipelines that save time and eliminate errors
• Design and implement automated data workflows and scheduled reports that deliver consistent, accurate insights to stakeholders without manual intervention freeing up the team to focus on higher-value analysis.
• Champion cross-functional collaboration bringing together diverse teams around shared data, aligned objectives, and a common language for measuring success.
• Continuously evaluate and improve analytical processes, identifying gaps and proposing solutions that make the entire organisation smarter and more data-driven.

What We Are Looking For

• Minimum 1.5 years of hands-on experience in Analytics, Business Intelligence, Data Analysis, or a closely related field.

• Proven track record of cross-functional collaboration you have worked alongside business, finance, product, or operations teams and know how to align diverse stakeholders around data.

• A strong ability to connect insights to business objectives — you don't just present data, you explain what it means, why it matters, and what should happen next.

• Advanced SQL proficiency — including Window Functions (RANK, ROW_NUMBER, LAG/LEAD), Common Table Expressions (CTEs), complex joins, subqueries, and query optimisation.

• Solid Python skills for data manipulation, analysis, and scripting automated reporting workflows.

• Proficiency in Excel and Google Sheets, including pivot tables, financial formulas, and data modelling.

• Hands-on experience with BI and visualisation tools such as Metabase or Looker Studio — including configuring automated and scheduled reports.

• Exposure to automated reporting pipelines and schedulers, with an eagerness to build and scale them further.

• A working understanding of financial concepts — revenue, margins, reconciliation — and comfort handling large, complex datasets.

• Familiarity with machine learning concepts (Regression, Tree-based models, Boosting) is a plus; exposure to AI tools, LangChain, or LLMs is a bonus.
