Senior Data Analyst

A leading organisation in Kuala Lumpur is seeking a Senior Data Analyst to join their growing analytics team. This opportunity offers you the chance to transform complex data into meaningful insights that directly influence strategic and operational decisions across the business. You will work closely with stakeholders from various functions, data engineers, and senior leaders, ensuring your analytical expertise drives impactful change.

What you'll do:

As a Senior Data Analyst based in Kuala Lumpur, you will play a pivotal role in transforming raw information into valuable insights that drive business success. Your day-to-day responsibilities will involve partnering with stakeholders to define analytical needs, building robust reporting frameworks, developing engaging dashboards, and performing deep-dive analyses on complex datasets. You will be expected to apply advanced statistical methods to forecast trends while ensuring the integrity of all data outputs. By collaborating with data engineers to improve infrastructure and mentoring junior colleagues on best practices, you will contribute significantly to the team's collective expertise. Success in this role requires not only technical proficiency but also the ability to communicate findings effectively through presentations and storytelling that resonate with both technical experts and senior executives.

• Analyse large and complex datasets to uncover trends, patterns, and actionable business insights that inform decision-making across multiple departments.
• Partner with stakeholders from diverse functions to understand their business questions and translate these into clear analytical requirements.
• Define, build, and maintain essential metrics, KPIs, and reporting frameworks that enable effective performance tracking and strategic planning.
• Create, update, and optimise dashboards, reports, and visualisations that make data accessible and useful for both technical and non-technical audiences.
• Conduct ad-hoc analyses and deep dives to support strategic initiatives, problem-solving efforts, and new business opportunities as they arise.
• Apply advanced statistical analysis and data modelling techniques to generate predictive insights that help anticipate future trends or outcomes.
• Validate the accuracy of data sources and ensure consistency across all reports, dashboards, and analytical outputs produced by the team.
• Collaborate closely with data engineering teams to enhance data availability, quality, usability, and overall infrastructure supporting analytics activities.
• Communicate findings clearly through presentations, compelling data storytelling, and executive-ready summaries tailored for senior leadership.
• Mentor junior analysts by promoting best practices in analytics methodology, reporting standards, and stakeholder engagement.

What you bring:

Your proven experience as a Senior Data Analyst will be evident through your ability to manage complex datasets using SQL while consistently delivering high-quality insights that inform critical business decisions. You bring a strong foundation in analytical methodologies coupled with an eye for detail that ensures accuracy across all outputs. Your interpersonal skills allow you to collaborate effectively with stakeholders from different backgrounds—translating their needs into actionable requirements—and present findings in ways that foster understanding among non-technical audiences. Advanced proficiency in BI tools enables you to create compelling visualisations while your familiarity with Python or R adds depth to your analytical capabilities. Experience working within cloud-based environments further enhances your adaptability. If you have mentored junior analysts or contributed domain-specific expertise (such as finance or e-commerce), these qualities will set you apart as an invaluable member of the team.

• Demonstrated proficiency in SQL with hands-on experience querying large-scale datasets within production environments.
• Proven track record of delivering actionable business insights through rigorous data analysis using established methodologies.
• Comprehensive understanding of data structures, quality assurance processes, and analytical frameworks relevant to enterprise settings.
• Exceptional analytical skills combined with meticulous attention to detail when interpreting complex information or validating results.
• Experience collaborating directly with stakeholders from various business functions to clarify requirements and deliver tailored solutions.
• Ability to distil complex technical concepts into clear narratives suitable for non-technical audiences through effective communication.
• Advanced expertise in leading BI tools such as Tableau, Power BI or Looker for creating impactful visualisations and reports.
• Practical experience applying statistical analysis techniques or exploratory data analysis using Python or R is highly advantageous.
• Familiarity with cloud-based data warehouses or modern analytics platforms supporting scalable enterprise solutions.
• Exposure to predictive analytics (including forecasting or experimentation), analytics engineering (such as dbt), or domain-specific knowledge (finance/e-commerce/operations/product analytics) is considered beneficial.
