If you're trying to land a data analyst job, stop searching for data analyst on job boards. And I know that sounds ridiculous, but I'm low-key being serious because honestly, there is so many data analyst jobs that don't have the title data analyst. In fact, there are probably thousands of jobs out there right now that are literally perfect for you if you want a data analyst job that are completely untouched, nobody's applying to them, all because they have some sort of a weird title that just isn't data analyst. Today, I'll show you 12 pretty strange job postings that I found that are gonna make you say, "Wait, is this a real job? Is this a data job?" We're gonna have three different groups. Group one is you're gonna be working in weird places. Spoiler alert, a cruise ship. Uh, group two is strange combination roles, like an executive assistant and a data analyst together in one role. And lastly, group three is niche industries that you didn't realize had data analysts. For example, high school sports data analyst. And by the way, if you're new here, hi, my name is Avery Smith. I'm a senior data analyst, and I help people land data jobs. And all 12 of these weird data titles I found today were posted on findadatajob.com, which is the free data analyst job board that I personally run. I post 35-plus data jobs there every single day, so make sure you take a second to go bookmark it right now so that you can find an awesome data job. All right, let's go ahead and start with group one. Group number one: weird locations that you might work as a data analyst. And the first one is a cruise ship. How awesome does that sound? Yes, this is a business analyst cruise ship experience role posted by Insight. And I think Insight is some sort of a recruiting firm here because as you can kind of read right here that this is an exciting opportunity with one of our top- Cruise line clients, maybe like Royal Caribbean or maybe like Disney, uh, or Carnival, I don't know. And this position is in the capital of all cruises, Miami, Florida. And candidates must have a valid US passport and ability to travel 30 to 40% as needed. Basically, you need to have a passport, you need to be able to travel, and you're gonna be looking at cruise ship experience. So you're basically a data analyst on a cruise. So you're gonna be studying business functions, gathering information, and evaluating output requirements, translate information into written requirements, analyzing vendors and solutions, build compelling, interactive, and actionable reporting. There's like more like data-ey side of this role. Um, you're gonna be doing, uh, different analysis, end-to-end test cases, a management plan for each venue, determine and document user requirements for business procedures, and abide by those in the future. So you need experience translating business requirements into system requirements. Cruise ship booking application or hotel reservation experience is a plus here, so if you've worked in the hospitality industry. Detailed analytic capabilities, strong experience in user testing and project management, and practical application ability with Microsoft Office and Visio. So this isn't even saying, like Excel or anything like that necessarily, but you're definitely doing a lot of analysis. You're definitely doing a lot of reporting, and you're gonna be doing that while you're on a cruise line, which is absolutely incredible. So if you're just searching for data analyst, you might miss out on a role like this, where you're actually doing this analysis, these experiments, on a literal cruise ship around the world. That is freaking awesome. Job number two is the field data specialist archeologist, which, as it sounds, you're gonna be working in the field of an archeology, an archeology field. And you have the chance to do some pretty cool things. So you're gonna support field work in the Northern California regions. You're gonna have to travel a little bit. This is actually only a part-time temporary role at $27 to $35 per hour, and you'll be doing the following. You'll be conducting pedestrian surveys, construction monitoring, and testing, including collection of field data, digital photography, artifact identification, GPS data collection, and mapping. Coordinate with construction crews on monitoring needs and schedules, maintaining project files and confidentiality at all times. Um, knowledge of regulatory standards, interact with customers and clients, perform other duties. Basically, they want you to have a bachelor's degree in some sort of field, and you're gonna be in Northern California. Proficiency with Microsoft Word and Excel is really key. I love that it says Excel. That means you're gonna be doing some sort of tables and analysis. And of course, it might... things might get hot. You might be outside because you're gonna be at archeology fields. So I think this is awesome. This role, I think, you know, a lot of people might be listening to this and being like, "Field data analyst? That's not a data analyst job." And you're right. This is a data specialist role. It's a step right below a data analyst, but I think it's a really good stepping stone if you're transferring your career or if you're, if you've never really worked in the data field, this is a great opportunity. And of course, with that being a step below data analyst, the pay isn't quite as good. So the salary is 56 to 73,000, which obviously is a step below what a data analyst get paid. Yeah, I think the average around there is, like, 64 or something like that. That's not terrible. Like, it could be a lot worse, and that could be either a raise for many of you guys, or it could just be a stepping stone where you're, like, making that much now, but then you get to be in the data field. So I think this is a really good first job if you wanna transfer into the data world, and I think this would be, like, a really cool experience. You'd get some hands-on data. You definitely saw that there would be GPS data. Um, there would be field data. There would be mapping. That's all data right there, and you definitely would use some sort of Excel as well. It mentioned it down there as well. All right. The third job that is in a weird location is near and dear to my heart, and it's a data analyst role. It says data analyst dash in Field Preach My Gospel training part-time, and it's for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. And if you guys didn't know, I'm a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and I actually served a mission in Sweden. We'll pop up a picture right here of me in my 20s in Sweden. So this position is central to the missionary's role to invite others to come unto Christ by helping them receive the restored gospel through faith in Jesus Christ and his atonement, repentance, baptism, and receiving the gift of the Holy Ghost and enduring to the end. The role supports missionary training efforts by providing operational insights, keyword there insights, to increase efficiency and effectiveness, solving complicated problems using technology, and partnering with research and evaluation in providing analysis, another keyword right there, and insights into... that help missionary training efforts scale and support the strategic goals of the missionary department. And so specifically, you'd be doing, um, you're providing transparency, insights, and recommendations to inform operations, decision-making, and planning. You'd be evaluating the onboarding experience and tools to effectively train leaders, tutors, mentors, trainers, and training coordinators on necessary knowledge and skills. I'm not sure what that one 100% means. Partners with the MTC Research and Evaluation on key outcome efforts, and this is why I have it in the weird locations. The MTC is stands for Missionary Training Center. There's, uh, maybe a dozen of these around the world. The biggest one is in Provo, Utah, and that's the one I went to, where I learned how to be a missionary, and I learned Swedish in six weeks. And if you're wondering if I speak Swedish, Now I kinda forget 'cause I speak a lot of Spanish now. So anyways, this is, like, a really cool place where they train people how to speak literally every language around the world in a very short period of time. And so I think that'd be, like, a really cool place to get data and to do an analysis on that data. You'd be using analytical tools like R, Python, and SQL, analyzing missionary training data from programs in Power Apps to determine use and effectiveness of training and provide visualizations of findings in Tableau. So that's where we found the skills and tools that you'll notice on the right-hand side. We pull these from the description. So Python, SQL, Tableau, and R. So this is, like, a full-blown data analyst job, and I think it'd be really fun. Basically, you'd be using these different tools, try to figure out how quickly these missionaries are learning languages, how effective they're being, be showing those insights to, you know, key stakeholders. You'd be using Tableau, those types of things. So I think this is a really neat job. I think it's very cool, obviously very niche. But I was like, "Wow, to be a data analyst inside or around the MTC would be really neat." Let's move on to job number four. The fourth weird place to be a data analyst job is this quality and data analyst registered nurse. So what the heck? There's a lot going on there. There's quality analyst, there's a data analyst, and then there's a registered nurse, so there's like three different job titles in this one job. And it looks like this is... We ranked it about five out of 10 on the experience level. This is a mid-level job, although it does only require Excel. So let's read a little bit more. So the quality and data analyst RN is responsible for coordinating the care of quality improvement processes- For the care of patients. So this is a job where you're trying to help patients get better care, better quality of care, and you're improving it with data. Lead a multidisciplinary team as an advocate. So lead is probably one of the reasons why we said this was a harder job, a more experienced job. As an advocate to observe and report care throughout the internal and external tracking systems. Track that care and report outcomes and possible interventions. So I like that we're doing tracking and reporting here. Responsible for serving as a patient advocate and working closely with a team of providers and operations management while serving as a clinical expert using data mined from EHR via chart review. So basically, you're gonna be working in a clinic, and you're, like, half a healthcare provider, like a registered nurse, and half a data analyst. You're like a data analyst talking to a registered nurse, but one of the things you'll notice down here in the requirements is the BSN is preferred. So, like, they do want someone... And if you're fr- unfamiliar with BSN, it stands for Bachelors of Science in Nursing. It's actually what my wife has. So maybe I should send this job to my wife, and she could be a data analyst. Finally, I'd convince her that data is the way to go. Um, so really interesting to, like, actually have, need a nursing degree almost. Actually, you do need to. Like, you need to have an RS license, RN license, which is literally a registered nurse license, to do this job. But it looks like... And let's see where they use the word Excel because I'm curious, like, where they're going to be writing that. Right here. I guess just you're gonna have excellent skills with Microsoft Office, including Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. So I'm curious what other, like, jobs, responsibilities they have in here that are actually more data-y. Organize and conduct care conferences. Okay, not that. Okay, initiate and perform ongoing chart review of clinical outcomes related to the continuum of recommended patient care. Okay. Got it. Work with business and clinical intelligence. So that's probably, like, another department. This is probably, like, their more data department. So you're kind of a bridge between the healthcare department and the data department. Analyze data, create and present reports with intent to show practice trends, outcome, and gaps for improvement. So that's a big one right there. So very cool job here. Basically, three jobs in one: a quality analyst, a data analyst, and a registered nurse, but you're gonna be working in some sort of a healthcare clinic, which is not where I've worked as a data analyst in my career, so that's why I thought it belonged in here. Now, you may have noticed that most of these jobs were expired, as I posted a lot of these jobs over 30 days ago, and after 30 days I say that they are expired. But if you want fresh data jobs as well as tips to land those roles, you wanna make sure that you're subscribed to my newsletter, The Data Career Newsletter. Every Wednesday, I send you a few handpicked data jobs that you should apply to, as well as tips on how to actually land those roles, and it's 100% free. So go to datacareerjumpstart.com/newsletter to subscribe. Or you can just click on the link in the description down below. But that actually concludes group one of weird places to be a data analyst, and it starts us in our next group, group two, which is combo roles. So not only are you a data analyst, but you're a blank. And for instance, this registered nurse one could have gone in there, but I deferred it to group one. With that, let's get into group number two. All right, the fifth job or the first job in this weird group of combo roles is this school data specialist/bookkeeper for Putnam County Charter School system in Georgia. And, uh, you can see that the job description here is nothing amazing. If you click job description, it'll actually open up the job description, which is like a scanned PDF of what the job description is. So already off to a very weird start. But the title is school data specialist/bookkeeper. It says, "The school data specialist/bookkeeper is responsible for the management of student data, state reporting data, attendance, scheduling, assessment, and managing the finance records of the school." So I really like this. It's like, okay, you're going to manage student data, all the reporting data, all the attendance data, all the scheduling data, all the assessment data. Oh yeah, and you're gonna manage the whole financial records of the school. So, uh, I think that's pretty crazy that it's like the extra, I don't know what this is called, like a gerund in English. Managing the financial records of the school gives it the bookkeeper status. The first part of it is just school data analyst, and then managing the financial records of the school. That's what makes you a bookkeeper. Uh, the good news is requirement is only high school graduate. So for all of you guys out there who maybe don't have college degree, you know, this is an opportunity. This job right here doesn't necessarily require one, which is great. I'm actually gonna zoom in here so you guys can see this a little bit better. You must have knowledge of approved office practices and excellent computer skills. Must have some experience in records and financial management. Preferred: some college and preparation in bookkeeping, ability to use complete record system and financial programs for completing data, formal computer training skills. I think a lot of you guys watching this would be qualified for this job. After, like, literally week two of my boot camp data analytics accelerator, all of you guys would be 100% ready for this job, I think, because my guess is they only are using Excel. And I don't know that for sure. Let's try to figure out what we can learn here. So you're going to be using, doing the financial bookkeeping, which is interesting, data entry, which is interesting. Let's see what else. You're gonna record attendance data. You're gonna help with grade book functions, maintain and monitor class size, maintain and file permanent records, withdrawals, provide statistical report of registration student data. Aha. Finally, this is more of what makes the job a data analyst job. It, it is obviously a data specialist job, which is a step below a data analyst. But a lot of the times, these data specialist jobs sneak things in here where you're analyzing data. So this is a pretty interesting role. I think a lot of teachers, transitioning teachers out there, you guys would be great fits for this role. If you're maybe an accountant or maybe you have, like, some sort of a business or a finance or some sort of degree like that, this could be a really good role for you. Really interesting title and a great start to our combinations role group two. The second job in our combo role is in an illustrator/data analyst level four at Lockheed Martin, and it says, "We are seeking a highly skilled technical illustrator to play a pivotal role-" And establishing a new illustration part breakdown for the F-35 program. So pretty cool. Lockheed Martin, if you're not familiar, is, like, a military subcontractor, and I guess they're working on F-35s, which is, like, a pretty cool fighter jet, if I'm not mistaken. As a key team member, you'll be responsible for several critical tasks that ensure the successful standup of the illustration systems and requirements while supporting 3D and 3D ISO data management requirements. So this is very interesting. It looks like it's, like, 3D computer-aided design, CAD, illustration, I'm pretty sure. And you're going to be, like, illustrating, like, what the F-35 looks like, like, to scale, right? Not to, not to scale, but, like, with all the really important informations on it. And I don't know exactly what makes this a data analyst job. You can see it pays fairly well, like, six figures for sure, and that's... When you see a level four, that usually means it's a more senior role, so a higher pay would go in there. Let's see if we can figure out why this is an analyst role. I don't see the word analyst anywhere. I just see the word analyze. Nope. I see the word data. Okay, data ISO data management requirements. Maybe that's why. I don't see the word Excel except for in Excel. They want you to have this 3D experience, work collaboratively, strong communication. So this is a really interesting job. I'm actually not exactly sure what- In the job description really makes this a data analyst job. But my point here, these combo roles are kind of insane. You never know, I guess, what's gonna actually be in the combo roles. But if you're maybe a mechanical engineer or you're, you're really good at CAD, this could be a good fit for you. Moving on to our third weird combo job, and that is executive assistant and data analyst at Learn, Develop, and Succeed, which is a growing, innovative, research-informed nonprofit charity based in Vancouver, British Columbia. We serve children, youth, and adults with diagnosed and suspected learning differences such as dyslexia, written output disorders, and ADHD. All right. Let's take a look at what you'd be doing. So you'd be supporting the executive director. So you're basically like an executive assistant to the executive director and the leadership team. Um, but this position, this dual role position blends high-level administration coordination with data-driven insights to strengthen our strategic planning and mission delivery. The ideal candidate thrives on managing logistics while also interpreting data to guide organizational decisions. This is a unique opportunity for a motivated professional who enjoys working in a fast-paced, purpose-driven environment and is keen to work collaboratively with a diverse and driven team. Okay, so very interesting. You're basically a data... I would call this a data-driven executive assistant because you're basically doing executive tasks or, or administration tasks, but you're supposed to have a data mindset when actually doing it. But I guess you're supposed to come up with the actual interpretation of what the data is and what to do. I think this role-- I mean, it says it's a senior role because the description sounds like it. The salary is a little bit low to be a senior role in my mind. But let's go ahead and read a little bit more about it. So you're doing calendars, appointments, and meeting logistics. So once again, very administration. Uh, draft, edit, and manage executive correspondence. Once again, presentations, reports. I guess reports could be analytics-y. You're following up on key tasks, deliverables. Once again, very admin. Provide logistical and research support for key initiatives, including fundraising, government relations, and annual reporting. That one's a little bit more data-y or analyst-y at least. Oh, that was all the executive assistant functions. Now we're moving on to the data analyst functions, which you're collecting, organizing, and maintaining data sets related to program delivery, learning outcomes, finance, operations, and supporting engagement. So this is like a data analyst for the entire company. It seems like you'd be the only data analyst at this company because you're doing it for, like, all the different departments. You're analyzing data to identify trends, opportunities, and insights and measure k- KPIs. Create visual dashboards and custom reporting using Excel, Power BI, or similar programs. Collaborate with leadership and generate monthly, quarterly, and annually reporting. Okay. Great. That is awesome. And then we have some of the qualifications down here, which is basically proficiency in Excel, data viz tools like Power BI and Tableau, and basic statistical analysis. So very interesting to be both an executive assistant and data analyst at the same role. I think this would be a very fun job, but probably pretty intense and challenging. Just a weird combo job, you guys. Very strange. Our last combo role is a mouthful. Here we go. It is PV and energy storage remote operator and data analyst. So I think this is, you're basically an operator and data analyst, and the PV and energy storage is what you're operating. Remote says how you're operating it. So let's take a look. So Ameresco is a leading energy solutions provider dedicated to helping customers reduce costs, enhance resilience, and decarbonize to net zero in the global energy transition. That sounds pretty good. I like that. We are a trusted full service partner to public sector and government entities, K through 12, higher education, utilities, and healthcare customers across the United States, Canada, UK, and the Europe. I have no idea what that means. Okay. So basically they're explaining who they are, but your job here would be to support the monitoring, analysis, and optimization of solar and energy storage system performance. So you're going to be monitoring, analyzing, and optimizing this solar and energy storage performance. Um, candidates must have an electrical engineering de- degree or electrical license with two years plus of solar operations and maintenance experience. So for all my electrical engineers, and to be honest, I hope they would take like other kind of degrees. Like a mechanical engineer could do this, I think. So I don't know. You never know what these degrees, how like actual sticky they are to it. But basically you're monitoring data from this real time solar and energy storage. So in my mind, solar and energy storage essentially means they have a bunch of solar panels. Solar panels, you know, harvest energy from the sun. And when they say energy storage, they usually mean batteries. So basically we have a bunch of solar panels and a bunch of batteries, and those batteries are probably sending electrici- well, they're storing electricity, but eventually it gets sent somewhere. But you don't always want to like use... You wanna store your energy, not use it right away, right? Because, you know, you might not have any electrical things on. So basically it's really important to harvest as much sun data as we can, keep it stored as efficiently as we can. There's a lot of things that could go wrong here. I kind of did some research in college about this. But you're gonna be looking for anomalies, trends, and performance deviations, analyze system performance metrics, ability to handle complex issues, collaborate with the technical team, remotely diagnose, troubleshoot, and reset equipment. That sounds kind of harder to me. I don't know much about doing that remotely. Being in person sounds a lot easier. You're gonna use data visualization tools, support predictive analytics models. So wow, that, this better pay well. Eh, it pays okay, but not great. It does think this job's kind of entry, four out of 10. Um, maintain and improve data integrity and investigate historical trends. Experience with machine learning applications. Gosh, this is, this job does not pay enough. This job needs to be Up 20,000 on the floor and the top at least. 'Cause they want you to be basically an engineer with experience, with machine learning experience. There's not very many people that can do that. Uh, let's take a look. So electrical engineering, you're gonna be using Python, SQL, and Excel, Power BI, and Tableau. So yeah, really interesting role where you're basically watching this solar energy storage system, watching all the data for it, and making tweaks where needed. So it's like you're not an analyst giving those suggestions to the operator or the technician to make those changes. You're actually just making the changes, which I guess if it's easy to make changes, it's... That makes sense, it's fine. But like a really interesting combo role. We had four, like, I couldn't believe these jobs exist combo roles where it's like, that seems like two people's job that you combined into one. I'm a little suspect of you. And that ends group number two. Once again, all of these jobs were from findadat job.com. This is the job board that I run, so make sure you check it out. Moving on to group number three, which is very niche industries and niche jobs that you didn't think existed. And our first job for this category is the Bright Star Lottery Financial Analyst 3 from the city of Providence. And I think this is just fascinating. It could just be because we don't have a lottery in Utah, I just don't really think about the lottery very much. But of course, the lottery is like a business or an organization that brings in money, so of course they would need some sort of a financial analyst, right? To go over all their financial records. So in this role, you'd basically be supporting the reporting, analysis, and communication of the actual financial performance and forecast outlook for the retail lottery technology projects. So you're basically saying, "Is this lottery bringing in money? Are we losing money? How much money are we bringing in?" To do that, you're making these ad hoc financial reports for the month-end close, forecasts, and budgets, giving financial support as needed to understand updates from the contractors or pricing models and stuff like that, collaborating with a bunch of different types of teams. And basically you're being a financial analyst at a lottery company, which I think is so fascinating. It looks like you'd be using Excel and Power BI. I mean, what an interesting job to be analyst for the lottery. Absolutely crazy. I guess if you're into like gambling and lottery and money, this could be a really interesting fit for you. But who knew it existed? Not me. Job number two in this group is Billboard Charts and Data Analyst. Country Christian Gospel Charts. Really long title. This is from Penske Media. And you would be responsible for all aspects of the country, Christian, and gospel charts in Billboard and Billboard Country Update on billboard.com. So super cool. Like, this is the Billboard Top 100 songs, right? But specifically, we're focused on the country, Christian, and gospel charts. I guess those ones aren't as popular. You'd be depended upon to maintain the relevance and accuracy of Billboard's current chart menu, conducting daily and weekly data analysis, detailing chart movement and data trends via editorial and social content, and seeking out new means of charting music consumption dictated by market shifts. Wow, this is a really cool role. I love this role. So, um, let's break down what you're doing here. So you're going to make sure that the chart is up to date. So like based off the data they have, you wanna make sure that like... It's basically a sequel query, right? It's like select the, for instance, like song name, artist name, rank, where genre is equal to, uh, is in country, Christian, or gospel, and then you do a window function to get the rank there at the top. So you're basically in charge some sort of like SQL query that gives you like the top 10 songs of country or the top 10 songs of gospel or whatever, right? You're also the weekly analysis for that. The chart movements and data trends, so it's like what's changed. So like for instance, in country, you know, maybe Toby Keith. Is that a country person? Used to be like the guy, and he used to be, you know, on every weeks of Billboard Top 100 Country. But now it's Luke Combs or it's, uh, Morgan Wallen or something. And you create these editorial or social content to try to show this. So basically, you're like trying to entertain people giving this analysis to like the masses, to like normal people, which I think is really cool. Or trying to find new ways to chart music, like how cool would that be? The person would be the Billboard charts and data representative to the music industry community for his or her genre charts and act as liaison for those formats with our data sources. Super cool. Very awesome. I think this would be a fantastic role. Let's see like in terms of requirements. It wants you to have a music background. It wants you to have writing experience, once again, for those like social pieces or editorial pieces. Data analysis experience. Familiarity of influential people in various sectors of the industry is a plus. Well, that's awesome. It's like, "Hey, do you know anyone famous or influential?" That's really good. Knowing country music or Christian and gospel music is good. Experience in analyzing data sets to identify trends, patterns, and insights. Very interesting requirements here. And in terms of responsibilities, once again, you're reviewing new titles for proper genre placement, conduct weekly analysis and validation of this data set, maintain open dialogue, write daily and weekly chart related editorial sections. We talked about that. Appear on camera for Billboard created long form and short form videos regarding the genres that you oversee, providing insight and analysis on chart movements, data trends. This is such a cool job. You guys, if you like music, I highly suggest applying for this. It is remote. Now, obviously this job is expired, but we post more jobs like this on finddatajob.com. Or you can always go check out the Penske, uh, website and try to see if you can find something there. What a cool niche job. Let's see what's the next one. Our third weird job in this niche field is- High school sports data specialists. So obviously there's, like, sports data specialists, sports data analysts, those types of things. But did you realize that this even went as low as high school? So the candidate will identify clean data streams and help lead manual data mining. The goal is to deliver a robust inventory of stats, schedules, scores, rosters, rankings, and more across all high school sports, including clubs and academies, that can be easily accessible and utilized by readers in addition to sports journalism across the organization. The ideal candidate will show proficiency in Structured Query Language. Wow, it has been a while since I've seen someone spell out SQL. That is crazy. And coding language software such as Python. Establishing methods to ingest high school data at scale is a must. Wow, this is really interesting. This is less entry-level than it seems. The data specialist makes it feel entry-level, and the pay makes it feel entry-level, but if you have to know Python and you have to be able to know SQL and you have to be able to establish a method to ingest high school data at scale, AKA this means web scraping in my opinion, this job needs to be $20,000 up on both ends. This role would work closely with third-party data partners and editors and writers across the USA Today network, including the network sports AI team, which specializes in data automation. Ah, maybe they can help you 'cause they seem like they'd be good. They bring solutions to clarity to complex situations is a must. Wow, very interesting. What an interesting role. I think this would be really fun if you like sports. I think this would be a really challenging role. It's actually 100% remote. Work for a really big entity. Super cool, interesting niche job. You know, I played high school soccer, and I remember, like, reading my name in the newspaper when I scored goals in, like, the state tournament or whatever. So this would basically be doing that on a national level. It'd be like looking up, you know, what's Avery Smith's high school soccer statistics? And USA Today would pop up with, like, a, a page of my high school career. Shout out to anyone that goes and finds my high school career and finds out how many goals I scored. Was it a lot? Was it a little? Only a person who is able to ingest high school data at scale is a must. Only someone that can do that could figure it out. And the last one for this group is just so niche. I've never heard of anything like this. I saved the best for last. And that is business analyst to the chief of staff of the CTO organization And that's with Schoenfeld in New York, United States. So they're looking for a business analyst to support the chief of staff of the chief technology officer organization. Why isn't this just, like, the tech organization, and why is it the chief technology officer organization? I don't know. The ideal candidate is a fast learner, highly organized, self-motivated, with excellent written and verbal communication. Okay, so what would you do? You work closely with the chief of staff to analyze and document organizational workflows. Okay, so far that's more the business of the business analyst's role. And processes, and will support new processes and workflow implementations across the CTO organization. In addition to process and workflow support, this person will be responsible for the organization and management of the data department. You manage a whole department? Which they'll be required to analyze and use to produce data visualizations. Okay, this is insane. So you're going to... It says Excel, Power BI, Confluence, Jira, Trello. Okay, this is really interesting. So this is actually very similar to that role that we did earlier, the combo role of executive assistant and data analyst. This is basically you're an executive assistant slash... No, you're more of a business analyst. You're a business analyst to, I guess, this organization. But this is just a wild title. Like, why not just call it business analyst? And then this is like you're in this division, and, like, this is your boss. This is who you report to. I don't know why they named it this way, but very interesting niche role where you're basically looking at processes for a whole department. And I guess with data and with Power BI, you're tracking, are on- things on time. Are these processes going the way that they should? Are these systems working the way they should? And just making sure that everything is operationally functioning at a high level. You're using data to do that in this business analyst role. Very niche, very interesting. So here's the point. The point isn't that you should go become an archeologist or cruise ship analyst. The point is that the job market is just way bigger than what you see when you just type in data analyst into the search bar. Really, the key here is to think about the skills that you have. Excel, SQL, Tableau, Power BI, Python. And then ask yourself, "Hey, well, what industries actually use these technologies that maybe don't call it data analyst?" Whether it's healthcare or music or sports or energy or government, non-profits, churches, whatever. I don't know. Because these companies in the industries, they need people to analyze their data, and they might just be not very data mature, and so they don't call their roles a data analyst even though they are data analyst roles. And they're not getting flooded with applications like everyone else. They are real data analyst jobs hiding behind weird titles. So if you've just been applying to data analyst jobs on LinkedIn Jobs and you're getting nowhere, well, you need some help. And hopefully these weird job titles that we went through today, they will be things that help you. The link to the job board is down below in the description, and you guys, get on it, because it's really hard to find a data analyst job when you're looking only in one place that everyone else is looking in. But if you switch to a different place, some good things can happen. I promise that you can do it, especially if you're looking in the right place. I hope this helped. If it did, I'll see you in the next episode.
