Remote Data Analyst

Careerscape is recruiting on behalf of our client, a growing organization seeking an entry-level Data Analyst to join its team on a remote basis. This is a great opportunity for an analytically minded early-career professional to turn raw data into insights that shape real business decisions, working closely with cross-functional teams to track performance, spot trends, and support smarter strategy.

Day to day, you will spend time pulling and cleaning data, building reports and dashboards, and translating numbers into plain-language takeaways for stakeholders who may not be data experts. People who thrive in this role are naturally curious, comfortable asking questions until the data makes sense, and just as happy troubleshooting a messy spreadsheet as they are presenting a polished dashboard. It is an ideal fit for someone early in their analytics career who wants mentorship, variety, and a clear path to grow into more senior analytical work.

• Assist in developing and documenting data quality standards and processes
• Support ad hoc analysis requests from leadership and other teams
• Help maintain data integrity across shared systems and databases
• Contribute to the continuous improvement of reporting tools and workflows

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in a quantitative field such as statistics, economics, business, or a related discipline
• Up to one year of experience in a data, analytics, or reporting role, internships included
• Working knowledge of Excel, including formulas, pivot tables, and basic modeling
• Familiarity with SQL or a strong willingness to learn quickly
• Exposure to data visualization tools such as Tableau or Power BI is a plus
• Strong written and verbal communication skills for presenting data to varied audiences
• Detail-oriented approach with solid organizational and time-management skills
• Ability to work independently in a remote setting while meeting deadlines
• Curiosity and a genuine interest in problem-solving with data
