What Does a Data Analyst Do?

Writing SQL queries to extract and analyse data, building dashboards and reports in BI tools, defining and tracking KPIs, conducting ad hoc analyses, presenting findings to business stakeholders, and collaborating with data engineers on data model requirements.

What We Screen For

Strong SQL, experience with at least one BI tool (Tableau, Looker, Power BI, or Metabase), comfort with Excel or Google Sheets for ad hoc analysis, and strong communication skills for translating data into business language. Python or R for statistical analysis is a meaningful differentiator.

💡 Hiring Insight

The best data analysts combine strong technical skills with genuine business curiosity — they ask 'why does this number look this way' rather than just answering the question asked. That analytical mindset is worth testing in interviews explicitly.

Typical Compensation
$65,000 – $110,000
Analysts with Python, advanced SQL, and strong BI tool expertise earn toward the top of this range.
