About the role
We file this job under Analyst, by the work the posting describes.
Analysts answer business questions with data. They pull numbers with SQL, build reports and dashboards, and explain what changed and why to the people making decisions.
Most postings ask for SQL, spreadsheets, a dashboard tool such as Tableau or Power BI, and clear writing.
Unlike a data scientist, an analyst mostly explains what happened rather than building models that predict what will.
Works independently to execute data validation and exception resolution activities by utilising available data tools, engaging stakeholders, and escalating systemic issues. Ensures the accurate, consistent, and timely maintenance of investment data, contributing to operational efficiency and reliable reporting through high-quality data management and issue resolution.
