Data Analyst (IT Focus)

A Data Analyst with an IT focus is responsible for collecting, processing, and analysing data to help organisations make informed decisions. The role involves using IT tools and software such as SQL, Python, and data visualisation platforms to interpret complex data sets. Data analysts present their findings through reports, charts, and presentations, making technical information accessible to non-technical stakeholders. Typical tasks include cleaning and validating data, identifying trends, and supporting business strategy with evidence-based insights. Data analysts often work in teams with IT professionals, project managers, and business leaders. The career requires strong analytical, mathematical, and communication skills, as well as attention to detail and problem-solving abilities.
