Description: Bidhaa Sasa is looking for a naturally curious person and problem solver to take ownership of all company data and its analysis. In addition, coach and mentor a team of existing analysts hungry to learn and grow their capabilities.
As a company they are completing an IT systems migration, which will centralise commercial and non-commercial data allowing for a deeper analysis. The Senior Data Analyst will report directly to one of the co-founders and will work closely with the rest of the senior management team to extract value from business data using advanced analytical methods and tools.
The hire will derive knowledge and insights from both structured and unstructured data using statistical, algorithmic, mining and visualisation techniques, for example together with the IT admin build business intelligence dashboards for various levels of the organisation. Over time, the hire is expected to grow their skills and move from descriptive and diagnostic to more predictive and prescriptive analysis, using more advanced data mining and machine learning techniques to make business predictions and optimisations, for example stock forecast or route optimisation.
The hire will supervise and further develop capacity of a team of existing business analysts who interface between the different business units and the analysis and reporting of different data sets, from sales to household impact to logistics data.
