Data & analytics

Hire a data analyst in Greece and Cyprus

The person whose job it is to look at the data: business questions answered from the company's own numbers, in SQL, Python, Tableau, Power BI or Excel, whichever the question needs.

Schedule a call How our vetting works

In most mid-market companies in Greece and Cyprus the data already sits in the ERP, the CRM and the e-shop, with the answers in it unread. A data analyst turns it into decisions, one business question at a time. The questions that usually come first:

Where the margin is made, by product, customer and region
What the discounts really cost once rebates and payment terms are counted
Which customers are drifting away, before the sales team notices
Which KPIs matter for each team, and which ones nobody reads

The data analysts on Hellenic Talent are elite professionals from consulting, e-commerce, retail and software companies who work across Tableau, Power BI and Qlik rather than inside one vendor. Where a company needs models rather than measures, the data scientist is the next call.

What does a data analyst actually do?

Sharpen the business question until the data can answer it, or name what is missing
Clean and join the data from systems that were never meant to meet
Define each metric once, with finance and operations, so departments stop disagreeing
Keep the dashboards few and used, in the tool the company already has
Write each finding on one page, with the caveats stated
Sit with the team that asked, so the analysis changes what it does next
