The Data Analyst Associate loves working with data, whether they are answering questions posed by the business, creating dashboards, or doing detective work to uncover the secrets hidden in the piles of internal and external data we have access to at CLA. It is not uncommon to find our Data Analysts making use of the Microsoft Power Platform, which we have full access to at CLA, or a scripting language like R or Python. Throughout an average workday, a Data Analyst Associate might be cleaning data up for analysis or visual display in a report or dashboard, or working out details regarding data access to support a project. Our Data Analysts favorite tools are the Power Platform (Power Apps/Power BI/Power Automate), Excel, DAX, M, R, and Alteryx.
