    Requirements:

    About you:
  • You're genuinely interested in data, marketing, and learning how data drives decisions.
  • You've got a basic understanding of things like spreadsheets and stats-but more importantly, you're excited to learn.
  • You're comfortable using Excel (formulas, pivot tables, VLOOKUP are a bonus!).
  • You're analytical, methodical, and have a good eye for detail.
  • You can communicate clearly and work well with others.
  • You manage your time well and like solving problems.
  • Any experience with SQL, Power BI or CRM systems is a bonus-but not expected.
