A Senior Data Analyst is wanted in Cape Town to turn messy data and real business questions into reporting that people actually trust enough to make decisions from. This is a permanent, intermediate-level opportunity for an analyst who cares as much about the data behind a dashboard as about the dashboard itself.
The vacancy is placed by Salt South Africa, a global, award-winning digital recruitment agency that connects people and businesses within Creative, Marketing, Sales and Technology. Salt says more than 250 of its consultants work around the world helping thousands of people each year start new roles in start-ups, scale-ups, agencies and large global companies, and that it covers both permanent and contract roles. Salt is acting as an employment agency in relation to this vacancy.
The work is not about pulling a report, making the charts look nice and moving on. The analyst takes messy data and genuine business questions all the way through to something useful: understanding the problem, modelling the data, validating the numbers, and building reporting that people rely on. It is a hands-on role for someone who wants their analysis to shape decisions, not just decorate them.
The advert describes the work across five areas:
The role is advertised as a permanent, intermediate position based in Cape Town, with salary undisclosed. The listing was posted on 29 October 2026 and shows an expiry window of 25 days.

This vacancy is listed on CareerJunction under reference 641679507180951, job number 2646441, posted on 29 October 2026. Apply only through the original CareerJunction listing, using the Apply button on this page, which opens the original advert. Be careful with any message that claims to come from the recruiter but asks for payment, banking details or personal documents outside the official application route. Genuine recruiters do not charge job seekers to apply.
Before applying, make your analytical track record concrete: name the business questions you answered, the data sources you worked with, and the dashboards or reports that decision-makers actually used. Mention your SQL, dbt and Tableau work specifically, and give an example of how you validated numbers or traced a figure back to its source, since data quality and validation are central to this role. If you have financial services, consulting or high-growth technology experience, highlight it, as the advert calls it a big plus.
Applications go through the original CareerJunction listing, where the recruiter reviews submissions against the stated requirements. Candidates who match the profile are then considered for the next steps in the recruiter’s own process. Keep a copy of what you submitted, and watch for communication from the recruiter through the channels given on the original listing.
