Project Summary:
Innovations for Poverty Action Bangladesh is seeking qualified applicants for the position of Data Analyst to work across various projects that are evaluating the demand for and the impact of numerous interventions being conducted with a sample of large exporting firms.
Position Summary:
The projects receive production data from the firms that are participating in the studies. These data are in various different formats (written, pdf, word, excel) and the meaning of the data as well as the format varies hugely from firm to firm. The key task of the Data Analyst is to follow and improve on the strategy developed by the Data Team in order to harmonize these disparate data sources into one large data set. This involves extracting data using a variety of tools, and merging those data into a rigid format for analysis. In order to do this, a deep understanding of what the data represent is critical.
This is an extremely demanding task and requires a candidate who can use a variety of technologies
such as:
• Python/Pandas
• VBA
• PDF Readers
• OCR Software
• In-house data extraction programs (written in python)
The Data Analyst will be working as a member of the Data Team, which is currently made-up of three friendly, intelligent, experienced programmers, and a dynamic Data Team Manager. The team delivers demanding work in a relatively relaxed environment.
Qualifications:
Programming in python and an ability to work with the Pandas library in particular is essential. However, it is recognized that very few applicants will already possess these skills, so candidates with experience programming in another language will be considered. If applicants can demonstrate an aptitude for programming then some time will be given to the applicant in order that python and pandas can be mastered. This job would ideally suit graduates from the following disciplines:
• Computer Science
• Engineering
• Economics
Together with programming skills the following requirements are identified:
• Fluency in English
• Experience working in a team
• Ability to thrive under pressure
• Demonstrated interest in learning new skills
