Their responsibilities typically include collecting, entering, cleaning, and maintaining data to ensure its accuracy and accessibility. They often work with spreadsheets, databases, and specialized software to organize and analyze information, making it easier for teams to make data-driven decisions. Data Assistants may also help prepare reports and collaborate with other departments to support research or business operations.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a data assistant, and why are they important?

To excel as a Data Assistant, you need strong attention to detail, proficiency in data entry, and a basic understanding of data management principles, often supported by a high school diploma or equivalent. Familiarity with spreadsheet software such as Microsoft Excel, database platforms, and data visualization tools is typically required. Excellent organizational skills, reliability, and effective communication set top performers apart in this role. These abilities are vital for ensuring data accuracy, supporting efficient workflows, and facilitating informed decision-making within organizations.

What are some common challenges data assistants face when managing large datasets, and how can they overcome them?

To overcome these issues, it’s important to develop strong attention to detail, utilize data validation tools, and follow established data management protocols. Collaborating closely with data analysts and IT teams can also help identify and resolve data quality problems more efficiently, ensuring that the information remains accurate and reliable for stakeholders.

  • Respond to supporting requests from a shared inbox within 24 hours
  • Identifying and resolving data discrepancies with a strong focus on accuracy and turnaround times
  • Supporting system testing, upgrades and continuous improvement initiatives

You're Likely a Match If You have

  • Strong Excel skills (including VLOOKUP and confident manipulating data)
  • Experience working with multiple systems simultaneously (AX experience highly regarded)
  • A high level of attention to detail, with the ability to spot inconsistencies and think critically
  •  A proactive, solutions-focused mindset with the confidence to make decisions and take ownership
  • Experience working in fast-paced environments with competing priorities and tight turnaround times
  • Strong organisational skills and the ability to manage high volumes of work (e.g. shared inboxes, SLAs)

What's on offer

We're proud to offer a workplace that supports your well-being, growth, and belonging:
Extra Leave: Enjoy a 5th week of annual leave, 2 well-being days, plus 1 volunteer day annually
