• Present complex data findings in a simple, understandable manner to business users and management.

Technical Documentation:

• Create and maintain clear documentation of data structures, processes, and reports to ensure that stakeholders can understand and use data effectively.

• Advanced SQL skills: Capable of writing complex queries, optimizing query performance, and working with large datasets from relational databases (e.g., MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQL Server).
• Beginner-level Python proficiency: Comfortable using Python for basic data wrangling, such as cleaning, transforming, and analysing datasets.
