What a Data Analyst does

Data Analysts turn raw data into reports and dashboards that other teams act on: writing SQL against a warehouse, building visualisations in Tableau or Power BI, and explaining what the numbers mean to non-technical stakeholders. Australian employers hiring for this role are concentrated in banking, retail, and government, and it's commonly the first data role on a career path toward Data Engineering or Data Science once a candidate picks up more programming and pipeline experience.
