Data Analyst for Quarterly Sales Insights

Skills Required

Description

Quarterly sales reviews are crucial for identifying performance trends and making informed business decisions. The analyst will be tasked with preparing clear insights that break down sales numbers in a way that management can act on.

SQL will be needed to query and extract data from multiple sources. Clean, accurate data will form the foundation of all reporting.

Power BI dashboards should present results visually, making it easy for stakeholders to identify patterns at a glance.

Excel skills will also be useful for ad-hoc analysis and quick turnaround requests.

The analyst will need to collaborate with the finance and sales teams to confirm assumptions, clarify anomalies, and ensure alignment with company goals.

Longer-term value comes from not just producing reports, but telling the story behind the numbers. The analyst should highlight key drivers of growth, uncover areas of concern, and propose data-backed recommendations. For example, identifying why a specific region underperformed, which products are driving the highest margins, or where customer churn is impacting overall revenue.

Attention to deadlines is critical, as reports are often time-sensitive and tied to executive reviews.

The ideal candidate will deliver insights that go beyond metrics, providing context that helps leadership make confident decisions.
