Data Analyst

PERA collects data from many field systems. The Data Analyst makes it consistent and turns it into numbers leaders can act on: which districts are slipping, where complaints cluster and whether service targets are met.

Work areas

• Ingest data from several operational systems; clean, de-duplicate and normalise it.
• Structure datasets for KPIs, dashboards and monitoring domains.
• Run trend, time-series and comparative analysis across departments and districts.
• Detect anomalies and early risk signals in operational data.
• Build executive dashboards in Power BI, Tableau or similar tools.
• Track SLAs and compliance metrics, and set standard reporting formats.

Eligibility

• Bachelor's (Hons) in IT, CS, data science, statistics or software engineering from an HEC-recognised university.
• 5 years' experience after the degree, at least 1 of them in the public sector.
• SPSS, Power BI and statistical tools.
• Age 25 to 60.
