Friday, May 9, 2025

Location:

Johannesburg, South Africa

SUMMARY:
A Data & Risk Specialist Wanted – SQL Sorcery & Power BI Brilliance Required! Are you the kind of person who spots anomalies in spreadsheets for fun? Do you believe Power BI dashboards should be both functional and fabulous? Can you wrangle SQL like a wizard with a keyboard wand? Then we need to talk.

POSITION INFO:
Our client is on the hunt for a Data & Risk Specialist – someone who’s equal parts data whisperer, risk detective, and spreadsheet ninja.

What You’ll Actually Be Doing:

Pulling data from the depths of databases (yep, SQL is your bestie)
Cleaning messy data like it's your full-time job (because it is)
Designing sleek, executive-ready Power BI dashboards that actually tell a story
Turning raw numbers into risk insights that make Auditors weep with joy
Spotting trouble before it happens – and shouting about it (professionally, of course)

The Essentials (No Fluff):

4–5 years of hands-on experience in data analytics, risk, or audit
You're fluent in SQL and can speak Power BI in your sleep
You understand risk and controls better than most people understand their own group chat
Degree in something brainy: Maths, Stats, Finance, IT – we’re not picky, but you need the chops
Curious, detail-obsessed, and not afraid to challenge the status quo

What’s In It For You:

A seat at the (data-driven) decision-making table
Competitive salary & perks that don’t make you roll your eyes
A chance to work with smart people who actually care about data and risk
The freedom to turn “boring” risk data into something visually spectacular

Sound like you? Slide into our inbox with your CV, or message us if you’re still pretending to "think about it".
