Buildpad is seeking a motivated Junior Data Analyst to join our dynamic remote team. As an entry-level role, this position is designed for individuals who are just beginning their journey in data analysis and want to gain practical experience in a real-world setting. You'll work closely with senior analysts and data scientists, receiving guidance and mentorship to help you develop essential skills.

Key Responsibilities:

• Assist in gathering and organizing data from various sources, such as spreadsheets, databases, and APIs.
• Perform basic data cleaning and preparation tasks using tools like Microsoft Excel and Google Sheets.
• Write simple SQL queries to extract data from relational databases.
• Create introductory visualizations and dashboards using Tableau Public or Power BI (free versions encouraged for starters).

This role emphasizes learning on the job. No prior professional experience is required—we provide comprehensive onboarding, including tutorials on SQL fundamentals, Excel pivot tables, and introductory Python for data manipulation via libraries like Pandas (at a beginner level). Our fully remote setup means you can work from anywhere, with flexible hours to accommodate your schedule. Expect regular one-on-one mentorship sessions with experienced analysts who will review your work, answer questions, and help you tackle challenges.

Growth potential is a core focus: within your first year, you'll have opportunities to contribute to larger projects, earn certifications (like our recommended Data Analyst foundational cert), and advance to mid-level roles. We use modern, accessible tools—think Google Workspace for collaboration, GitHub for version control basics, and free tiers of cloud platforms like Google BigQuery for hands-on practice.
