Date posted:

Thursday, April 2, 2026

Location:

Eden, South Africa

SUMMARY:

Imagine starting your day with a walk along the lagoon, grabbing coffee on the island, and then settling into meaningful analytics work — all while surrounded by nature, water, and one of South Africa’s most beautiful coastal towns.

This is not just another data role.

This is an opportunity to reshape your lifestyle.

We’re looking for a curious, analytically minded Data Analyst who wants to grow their career while enjoying a slower, richer way of living on Thesen Island, Knysna.

POSITION INFO:

🌿 Why This Role Is Different • Live where others holiday – beaches, forests, hiking trails, and lagoon views on your doorstep • Escape big-city burnout without sacrificing career growth • Small, close-knit environment where your work is visible and valued • Real impact — your insights help drive business decisions, not just dashboards

Whether you’re already based along the Garden Route or dreaming of relocating to a coastal town with meaning, this role offers a rare balance of tech, purpose, and lifestyle.

💡 What You’ll Be Doing • Building and maintaining Power BI dashboards that tell clear, compelling stories • Working with SQL / PostgreSQL to extract and analyse data • Using Excel for modelling, analysis, and data validation • Applying mathematical and analytical thinking to real business challenges • Collaborating with stakeholders to translate data into actionable insight

🠕 What We’re Looking For • 1+ year experience in a data / analytics role • Strong working knowledge of Power BI • Experience with SQL and/or PostgreSQL • Solid Excel skills and comfort with numbers • Degree in a relevant field (IT, Mathematics, Statistics, Engineering, or similar) • Someone who’s curious, self-motivated, and eager to grow

🌠Location & Lifestyle Fit • Preference for candidates already based in Knysna / Garden Route • Open to candidates willing to relocate for the right lifestyle and opportunity • On-site role — because when your office looks like this, you’ll want to be there

✨ This Role Is Perfect For Someone Who: • Is early in their analytics career and ready to grow • Values quality of life as much as career progression • Wants stability, purpose, and a healthier pace of living • Believes success doesn’t have to mean city chaos
