Business Intelligence Analyst

This position is listed on behalf of a partner company, who manages all applications and next steps. Our partner is looking for a Business Intelligence Analyst based in South Africa.

This role offers the opportunity to shape how data supports clinical, operational, and strategic decision-making within a rapidly evolving environment. You’ll work at the intersection of advanced analytics, modern data engineering, and business intelligence. A major migration to Snowflake and dbt is creating an opportunity to modernize legacy reporting and establish a more reliable source of truth. You’ll turn complex, messy datasets into clear insights, executive-ready dashboards, and actionable recommendations. The role combines hands-on SQL development with visualization, data quality, documentation, and stakeholder engagement. You’ll work closely with data-focused teams and business leaders in a collaborative, globally distributed environment. Success will come from combining technical rigor with the ability to explain complex findings clearly and confidently.

Accountabilities

• Write advanced, optimized SQL queries, joins, stored procedures, triggers, and analytical logic across complex and evolving datasets.
• Partner with Data Engineering and Data Science teams to develop and maintain modular, tested, and well-documented dbt models.
• Support the migration from legacy cube and spreadsheet environments to modern Snowflake-based data architecture.
• Design and deliver executive-ready, interactive dashboards and reporting solutions using Power BI, Tableau, or Sigma.
• Establish rigorous data-quality, audit, and testing practices to ensure reporting is accurate and reliable before reaching stakeholders.
• Translate ambiguous business and clinical questions into appropriate data models, analytical approaches, visualizations, and recommendations.
• Produce clear initial outputs—including logic flows, sample datasets, and dashboard concepts—to accelerate stakeholder feedback and decision-making.
• Communicate technical constraints and analytical findings in clear, accessible language for non-technical stakeholders.
• Maintain strong documentation, including data dictionaries, wikis, reporting logic, and other materials that enable the wider team to scale and maintain your work.
• Collaborate across a globally distributed organization, adapting to evolving data infrastructure, priorities, and stakeholder needs.

Requirements

At least 3 years of professional experience in business intelligence, data analytics, intelligence reporting, or a related discipline.

Advanced SQL expertise, including complex queries, joins, window functions, stored procedures, triggers, and work with relational databases.

Proven experience building intuitive, scalable dashboards and reporting solutions, preferably with Tableau, Power BI, or Sigma.

Knowledge of SSIS, SSRS, and SSAS, including experience developing SQL Server cubes and Tabular models.

Experience with Snowflake and dbt is valuable, or a demonstrated ability and willingness to quickly learn modern cloud data technologies.

Strong analytical and problem-solving capabilities, with the ability to work independently through incomplete or ambiguous requirements.

A strong commitment to data accuracy, testing, governance, and documentation.

Excellent communication skills and the ability to translate technical concepts and data constraints into clear business language.
