WHAT YOU WILL BE DOING
👉 First 12 Months — with mentoring
Learn our ways of working and how we deliver data & analytics projects end-to-end, with guidance from senior team members
Gather and clarify requirements with clients and internal stakeholders, then translate them into execution-ready inputs for the delivery team (scope, acceptance criteria, dependencies, and validation approach)
Take ownership of business/data topics for a well-scoped domain or data source, becoming the go-to person for definitions, logic, and context
Provide data-driven insights and rigorous analysis to help stakeholders understand performance, trends, and opportunities, strengthening the reliability and impact of deliverables
Use SQL to explore data, validate assumptions, trace metrics back to source, and produce evidence to support requirements and delivery (joins, aggregations, filters, extracts)
Use Power BI to explore, analyze, and visualize data, supporting the validation of metrics, business logic, and project deliverables
Support PMs in creating and refining Kanban cards and ensuring backlog readiness for development
Take ownership of specific project tasks or well-scoped workstreams, coordinating inputs, following up on actions and dependencies, and helping ensure delivery stays on track
Progressively take on PM-like responsibilities within assigned workstreams, including task coordination, follow-up, stakeholder communication, and delivery tracking, with mentoring from experienced PMs
Join meetings as needed to unblock requirements and validate business logic; capture decisions/actions and update acceptance criteria accordingly
Validate deliverables against requirements, acceptance criteria, and business expectations
Help define data quality guardrails (expected ranges/tolerances and “red flag” conditions)
