What is a data analyst?

The responsibility of a data analyst is to analyse data that is generated within the organisation. Data collection is often set up and managed by a data scientist.

Once the data is collected, it needs cleaning (removing false positives) before it can be processed and analysed. Then it can be translated into a report, which will support the answer of key business related questions.

A data analyst helps the team, division or the management team shape an analytical understanding of the product or organisation.
