Analytics Coordinator

We are bringing on an Analytics Coordinator to support a high-stakes engagement with a major South African financial services firm. This role is about turning raw data into useful, legible records that help a large leadership team make better decisions. As a remote member of the Olive Tree team, you will help us organize the information that underpins our management advisory work, ensuring that our recommendations are always grounded in clear facts.

About the Role
Olive Tree Consulting works to reduce the friction that naturally builds up in growing organizations. This coordinator role exists to ensure that data does not become another source of that friction. Instead of building complex dashboards that are difficult to interpret, you will help us build small, useful datasets and plain-language reports. You will work closely with our advisors to track how shifts in management habits are reflecting in the client firm's operational data. This is a fully remote position that requires a high degree of organization and a genuine interest in how businesses function behind the scenes.

What You Will Do

• Gathering raw data from various sources and cleaning it to ensure accuracy for our weekly reports.
• Maintaining the internal tracking systems we use to monitor project progress and decision logs.
• Translating data findings into short, plain English notes for use in leadership meetings.
• Helping to map out how information flows between different departments at the client firm.
• Updating recurring tracking sheets to ensure all team members are working from the same set of facts.
• Reviewing reports for inconsistencies or errors before they are shared with advisors or clients.
• Assisting in the creation of simple charts that highlight trends without adding unnecessary complexity.
• Coordinating the timing of data requests to ensure we have fresh information ahead of key project milestones.

What We Are Looking For

• A natural curiosity about how organizations work and how people use information to get things done.
• Careful attention to detail, specifically the ability to spot a small error in a spreadsheet or a typo in a report.
• A preference for simple, direct solutions over complicated systems or fancy software.
• Strong writing skills and the ability to explain a numerical trend without using corporate jargon.
• The ability to work independently and manage your own schedule in a remote setting.
• A calm and methodical approach to handling multiple tasks throughout the week.
• Patience when working with messy or incomplete datasets.

Helpful Background

• Familiarity with the basic functions of Excel or Google Sheets, including common formulas and sorting tools.
• A general understanding of how to present data so that it is easy for others to read and understand.
• Experience from a university project, internship, or part-time job that required organizing large amounts of information.
• Exposure to basic business concepts or statistics through formal study or personal interest.
• A background in a field that values logic and structure, such as economics, social sciences, or information management.

What We Offer
This is a permanent, full-time position that is performed entirely remotely. We offer a work environment that prioritizes focus and quiet productivity rather than constant, distracting meetings. The position is paid, and the compensation is competitive for the entry-level market. You will have the opportunity to learn directly from experienced advisors while working on a project for a major financial services provider. We value clarity in our communication and respect for your time, providing a structured rhythm to the work week that allows you to do your best work without unnecessary stress.

About Olive Tree
Olive Tree Consulting Group is a focused advisory practice that helps leadership teams solve recurring management issues. We typically work on the space between strategy and daily execution. A team can have very capable people and still find that decisions keep reopening, priorities stall, or responsibility remains unclear. These are rarely personality problems: they are structural habits that have not kept up with the company growth. We favor practical changes over large-scale transformation programs. Our work involves looking at how decisions are made, how meetings are run, and how ownership is recorded. We prefer useful written notes and clear ownership over polished presentations and vague alignment. Good advisory work should make things plainer and leave the team with a rhythm they can continue on their own. The firm is built on the principle that memory is not a management system. We help teams create the smallest possible written record to support their work so that important follow-up does not depend on who was in the room or who has the best memory. The goal is a quieter management pattern that makes the existing work easier to lead.
