Position title
Senior Data Analyst (AI Specialist)
Description

The Data Analyst will support Cauridor's teams — from operations and finance to commercial and marketing — by turning raw data into clear, usable insight, with a strong focus on applying AI tools to work faster and smarter. Sitting within the Data Engineering team alongside the reconciliation-focused analysts, this role is deliberately broad: rather than owning one deep specialization, this person flexes across whatever the business needs — ad hoc analysis for any team, dashboards, and AI-powered automation. The role suits someone genuinely curious about how AI changes the way analysis gets done, and comfortable being the go-to generalist rather than the deep specialist in one area.

Your Impact Zone

Data Analysis & Reporting

  • Turn business questions from any team (ops, finance, commercial, marketing) into clear, accurate analysis.
  • Build and maintain dashboards and recurring reports across the business.
  • Respond to ad hoc data requests quickly and accurately, covering ground the reconciliation-focused analysts don't.

AI-Enabled Analytics

  • Use AI tools (LLMs, AI-assisted BI features) to speed up analysis, automate repetitive reporting, and surface insights faster.
  • Pilot new AI tools and workflows that could improve how the wider team works with data.
  • Build simple AI-powered internal tools where useful (e.g., a data query assistant, auto-generated report summaries).

Data Engineering Support

  • Work with the Data Engineer (Lead) to ensure data feeding into analysis is accurate and well-structured.
  • Flag and help fix data quality issues at the source.
  • Help document data definitions and sources so others can rely on them.

Cross-Functional Support

  • Act as the go-to generalist data resource across multiple teams, translating business needs into analysis.
  • Present findings in plain, actionable language for non-technical stakeholders.
  • Pick up work that falls outside the reconciliation analysts' scope.

Continuous Improvement

  • Identify opportunities to automate manual, repetitive reporting processes.
  • Stay current on new AI/data tools relevant to analytics and bring ideas back to the team.
Your Toolkit for the Role
  • 5–7 years of experience in data analysis, BI, or a related analytics role.
  • Strong SQL skills; comfortable querying and shaping data from multiple sources.
  • Hands-on experience with a BI tool (Looker Studio, Tableau, Power BI, Metabase, or similar).
  • Genuine hands-on experience using AI tools (ChatGPT, Claude, or AI-assisted analytics features) to speed up real work — not just awareness of them.
  • Comfortable with Python or similar for automation and analysis (a plus).
  • Some exposure to data engineering concepts — pipelines, data warehousing basics (e.g., BigQuery).
  • Strong communication skills — can explain findings in plain language to non-technical stakeholders.
  • Versatile and comfortable context-switching across different business functions, without needing one narrow specialization.
  • Curious and self-directed.
  • Experience in fintech, payments, or a fast-moving startup environment is a plus.
  • Fluent English; French is an advantage given Cauridor's West/Central Africa footprint.
  • Fluent written and spoken English; professional French a strong advantage.
