Job description

We are a data analytics company that solves business problems through tailored intelligence, rather than relying on platforms or off-the-shelf reports. Our work is grounded in a deep understanding of our client's problem statement. We specialise in geospatial data where location matters. Our clients span high-impact industries like property, public transportation, banking, healthcare, pharmaceuticals, and retail. From identifying underserved areas to optimising service networks, our work helps shape smarter cities and more sustainable growth.

We’re looking for a Data Analyst who is curious about the world and views data as more than just numbers. In this role, you’ll work closely with our team to turn complex geospatial and business data into actionable insights that help clients make better decisions.

Real insight starts with asking the right questions, not jumping to the tools. We are not a dashboard factory, and you’re not here to follow scripts. We’re looking for fellow tribe members who share our enthusiasm and curiosity for data as we work together to uncover trends and patterns that drive better city planning and shape a more sustainable urban future.

What You’ll Do

• Analyse spatial and non-spatial datasets to uncover patterns and opportunities.
• Work on customised analytics projects for clients across sectors and industries.
• Collaborate with business and tech teams to design problem-solving approaches.
• Translate complex data into clear insights, whether in charts, maps, or reports.
• You’re here to learn, experiment, and maybe even lead the way for the rest of us.

Who You Are

• Inquisitive, observant, and able to connect dots that others may miss.
• A thoughtful communicator who listens well and speaks with clarity.
• Interested in cities, business, and how data influences the real world.
• Comfortable working independently and collaboratively.
• Not afraid to ask questions, try new things, or circle back for a second look.

Requirements

• You can count (intermediate stats and analysis skills)
• You can spell (we care about grammar here)
• You can speak your mind professionally and constructively.
• You are comfortable using Python and Excel for data analysis and automation tasks.
• Bonus: Familiarity with SQL, QGIS (or any other GIS software) and prior experience with geospatial data.
• A completed case study submission is required for consideration of an interview.

Why Join Us

• Work that matters—your analysis directly shapes decisions in how cities are built.
• No fluff, just meaningful problems.
• Learn fast and gain exposure to different industries, datasets, and use cases.
• A collaborative, mission-driven culture that values contribution over hierarchy.
