Data analysts use data warehouses to perform queries and analysis on historical data. The information contained in a data warehouse can include data such as application log files and transaction applications. These tools are useful to analysts because they consolidate large datasets from many sources. Often called a “single source of truth,” a data warehouse allows a company to improve decision making based on historical insights over time. The data analyst serves as a gatekeeper for an organization’s data so stakeholders can understand data and use it to make strategic business decisions.
We are seeking a highly skilled and detail-oriented Data Analyst to join our team. In this role, you will be responsible for collecting, organizing, and analyzing large datasets to provide insights and support decision-making within the organization.
