Qualifications:Whether you’re thinking through user training strategies, scoping out technical implementations, collaborating with decision-makers, your process starts with empathy, then ends in a solution you understand well enough to communicate and test. In day-to-day operations you have the resilience to thrive in ambiguous environments, the clarity of communication to build order in chaos, and the self-understanding to know your blind spots and question assumptions. More specifically:

• You are, or are willing, to be based in Cape Town
• Same experience employing a data centered skill set that involves training users on data analytics
• You’re not afraid of messy real-world data, and have strived to understand the underlying patterns with R, Excel, SQL, Python or similar tools.
• You’ve worked on projects synthesizing hard analytical insight with holistic understanding of a complex problem space.
• You have a genuine love of technology demonstrated through your academic background, hands-on experience, or adjacent work in design, business, operations, policy, product, or project management.
• You thrive in ambiguity and aren’t afraid of not knowing – you understand how to take one step at a time to work through complex problems.
• You enjoy working with clients and have a customer-centric attitude
