Job Title: Business Analyst

Location: Lagos

About the Role

• The business analyst’s (BA) job is to answer the most complex questions Success, Talent, and Learning teams have to answer.
• To do this, you will report into the Data team’s analytic’s arm, but work as a collaborative thought partner alongside Andela’s senior leadership.
• You will understand how each department works better than anyone else, and use that knowledge to deliver deep, actionable insights to leadership.
• You will do this through a mixture of external research, analysis of Andela’s internal data, and construction of predictive models.
• In addition to these analytical projects, you will also work with our Data Engineering and Technology teams to figure out how we can better collect key data in the future, and set up our systems to scale. 
• Perhaps most importantly though, as a member of a new team in a rapidly growing startup, you will be vital in driving the entire company toward a data-first culture, and ensuring that we are making decisions not just quickly, but with confidence that a more knowable truth is supporting that decision.

Requirements

• Analytical mindset which allows you to break down complicated problems into testable hypotheses that can be answered through data.
• Passion to work for a new organization within a company, including the chance to help create and define that role for future hires, evangelize a data-first mindset at the company, and to take on ownership of critical projects.
• A remote-first mindset that allows you to work collaboratively and asynchronously with team-members across the world.
• 2-5 years of work experience as a consultant, business analyst, or similar role.
