PharmAccess Ghana is seeking a versatile Data / Business Analyst who combines analytical rigor with strong business acumen. In this role, you will serve as the bridge between data and decision-making - translating large, complex datasets into actionable insights that inform strategy and drive organizational improvements. While you will work within a modern data environment - leveraging Snowflake, DBT, Power BI, and related tools - your primary focus will be on understanding the business context, ensuring data relevance and quality, and advising stakeholders on best practices for data-driven optimization.
Overview
As a member of the Global Innovation Pool Ghana team and the Data Chapter, you will work closely with local and international colleagues (cross-country). You’ll engage with various departments to understand their needs, develop meaningful metrics, and refine processes and/or activities that guide better outcomes. Your role involves ensuring data integrity, implementing sound data governance principles, and aligning data initiatives with PharmAccess’s broader objectives, with less emphasis on deep technical coding or advanced statistical methods.

- Ensure efficient collection of relevant datasets aligned with project objectives and stakeholder needs.
- Clean, transform, and analyze large datasets using SQL and visualization tools to detect patterns, trends, and actionable insights.
- Apply FAIR data principles and organizational best practices to maintain data quality, security, and compliance.
- Create intuitive, stakeholder-friendly dashboards and reports (primarily in Power BI, occasionally in Metabase) to monitor progress and facilitate informed decision-making.
- Business analysis & Process optimization:
- Collaborate with business stakeholders to understand their underlying challenges and objectives.
- Translate these needs into data-informed solutions, whether that’s refining a data collection process, streamlining a transactional workflow, or identifying bottlenecks in the model.
- Propose well-grounded improvements based on data-driven insights, ensuring that solutions are both technically feasible and strategically aligned.
- Data management & modeling:
- Support the design and maintenance of data models within the Snowflake/DBT environment to ensure reliable and coherent data structures.
- Work with the Amsterdam-based Data Chapter for guidance on and sharing of best practices, especially concerning data architecture and modeling approaches that align with PharmAccess standards.
- Strategic insights & Decision support:
- Present findings and recommendations to leadership and other stakeholders in a clear, compelling manner.
- Leverage data to inform strategic planning, operational improvements, and cost-effective service enhancements.
- Contribute to shaping organizational strategy by understanding how data trends connect to PharmAccess’s mission and long-term goals.
- Collaboration & Knowledge sharing:
- Facilitate knowledge sharing within the Data Chapter, ensuring that insights, techniques, and best practices are distributed across the organization.
- Engage with external stakeholders, including partners and regulatory bodies, to ensure that internal data practices comply with local and international standards and keep pace with industry trends.
- Data governance & Compliance:
- Adhere to data privacy laws and internal policies, ensuring that all data handling respects security and confidentiality requirements.
- Support the ongoing development of data governance frameworks, ensuring that data usage aligns with the FAIR principles and international standards.
Qualifications & Experience:
- Education:
- Master’s degree in Computer Science, Data Science, Business, or a related field.
- Professional experience:
- At least 5 years of combined experience in data analysis and business analysis roles, both hands-on and strategic/senior management level experience.
- Proficiency with SQL and Excel, and experience creating data visualizations in tools such as Power BI or Tableau.
- Demonstrated ability to translate business needs into data-driven frameworks and actionable solutions.
- Technical & business skills:
- Strong analytical abilities and attention to detail, capable of drawing meaningful insights from complex data sets without reliance on advanced programming or statistical methods.
- Exceptional communication skills to present findings to stakeholders with varying technical backgrounds.
- Organizational skills to manage multiple priorities in a dynamic, evolving environment.
- Familiarity with data warehousing concepts, data modeling best practices, and willingness to learn new tools as needed.
- Desirable:
- Previous experience in the healthcare sector or working with health-related data.
- Understanding data standards like FHIR and comfort with the unique challenges of healthcare data.
Key attributes:
- Problem-solving: Uses data to identify root causes and propose practical improvements aligned with business needs.
- Collaboration: Enjoys working in a team environment and thrives on building relationships across diverse functions and locations.
