Insights & Data Analyst - PFE

Guidya.com - Shaping Africa's Future of Work

We're Africa's leading student-to-career platform, connecting the continent's brightest talents with game-changing opportunities. Think JobTeaser, but built for Africa's dynamic job market.

The Role

We're looking for a sharp, data-driven analyst to help us understand the pulse of Africa's talent ecosystem. You'll design research studies, collect and analyze data, and turn findings into actionable insights that drive our strategy.

This isn't your typical internship. You'll own real research projects, influence product decisions, and help shape how we connect students with opportunities across the continent.

What You'll Actually Do

Research & Data Collection

• Design and deploy quantitative and qualitative research studies (surveys, interviews, focus groups)

• Build and manage data collection frameworks across multiple channels

• Ensure data quality, integrity, and representativeness

• Tap into our user base and external sources to gather meaningful insights

Data Analysis & Insights

• Analyze large datasets to identify patterns, trends, and anomalies

• Run statistical analyses and create predictive models when relevant

• Transform raw data into clear, compelling insights

• Build dashboards and visualizations that make complex data instantly understandable

Strategic Impact

• Present findings to leadership and stakeholders with clear recommendations

• Translate insights into actionable strategies for product, marketing, and business development

• Create compelling reports, decks, and infographics that tell a story

• Contribute to thought leadership content and market intelligence

Project Ownership

• Define research questions and methodologies based on business needs

• Manage end-to-end research projects from design to final deliverables

• Collaborate with different teams to understand data needs and deliver insights

• Stay on top of market trends and competitive intelligence

You're Our Person If

You have:

• Final year in Business School, Engineering, Data Science, Economics, Statistics, or related field

• Strong foundation in quantitative and qualitative research methods

• Hands-on experience with data analysis tools (Excel advanced, Python, R, SQL, or similar)

• Experience with data visualization tools (Tableau, Power BI, or similar - nice to have)

• Knowledge of survey platforms (Google Forms, Typeform, Qualtrics...)

You are:

• Analytically sharp - you see patterns where others see noise

• Curious by nature - you ask "why" until you get to the real answer

• Autonomously driven - you take ownership and run with it

• Story-driven - you know data means nothing without context and narrative

• Scrappy - you find creative ways to get answers with limited resources

• Impact-focused - you care about insights that actually change decisions

What We Offer

• Real impact: Your work will directly influence how we serve thousands of students across Africa

• Ownership: Lead projects from start to finish, not just execute tasks

• Learning: Work with experienced professionals in a fast-paced startup environment

• Flexibility: Balance structure with autonomy to explore and experiment

• Network: Connect with partners, companies, and stakeholders across the continent

• Growth: Potential for continuation post-internship based on performance
