Senior BI Data Analyst

This is a high‑impact analytics role supporting one of Nedbank’s most strategic business areas. As a Senior BI Data Analyst, you’ll partner directly with leadership—including the Managing Executive—to solve real business problems using data. This is not a traditional reporting role; it requires someone who can move beyond dashboards and actively challenge the business with insights that influence decision‑making. The team is currently strengthening its analytics capability, creating an ideal opportunity for someone who wants to shape how data is used, uplift team capability, and elevate the overall BI maturity of the function.

You’ll work with complex datasets and be expected to translate business discussions—such as sales performance, product growth, and operational challenges—into meaningful analyses that highlight root causes, missed opportunities, productivity gaps, and areas for improvement. Additional advantages of joining the team include exposure to banking processes and operational data flows, the opportunity to influence performance optimisation and productivity drivers, and the ability to convert raw data into executive‑ready insights.

You’ll be part of a collaborative environment where autonomy, analytical curiosity, and critical thinking are highly valued, supported by a leader who prioritises strong technical competence and professional growth. If you are excited by meaningful analytical work, strategic influence, and the chance to drive value—not just report on it—this role offers an exceptional career opportunity.
