• Taking initiative in developing your skills and shaping your role across both analysis and modelling, with mentorship from experienced data leads
• Helping improve internal data tools, processes, and outputs as our capability grows

• Some hands-on experience in either data analysis or data science (this may include a year or two in a relevant role, internships, or applied projects)
• Comfortable using Python for analysis and working with data libraries (e.g., pandas)
• Familiarity with or interest in survey/polling data
• Experience creating visualisations or dashboards using tools like Power BI, Tableau, Plotly, etc.
• A practical understanding of data cleaning, manipulation, and summarisation
• Experience or interest in learning to build dashboards that help bring our in-house data to life and make it more accessible to wider audiences
• An interest in developing skills across both data storytelling and model development
• Knowledge of basic statistical concepts (e.g., distributions, sampling, inference)

• An effective communicator with excellent written and verbal communication skills
• Excellent interpersonal skills and ability to work well in a team.
• An ability to work under pressure and to tight deadlines.
• Respectful and works with integrity.
• Intellectually curious about current affairs and an interest in keeping abreast of the latest developments in politics, business, and global trends. 
• Comfortable with change and excited to work with your team to problem solve, focusing on solutions
• An ability to build client relationships and balance the needs of multiple stakeholders
