Data Analyst (SQL/ETL/Azure) - Full Remote Portugal

ABOUT THE OPPORTUNITY

A leading international organization in the healthcare diagnostics sector is looking for a Data Analyst with strong ETL expertise to join a 6-month consulting engagement. This is a hybrid profile role — equal parts data analysis and ETL development — for someone comfortable working across the full data lifecycle, from extraction and transformation through to business reporting.

Full remote, contractor engagement, based in Portugal . Extension possible depending on project evolution.
PROJECT & CONTEXT

You'll be embedded in an Azure-based data ecosystem , contributing to data integration and analytics initiatives that support business reporting and decision-making across the organisation. Day-to-day work covers building and maintaining ETL workflows, validating data quality, documenting data flows and transformations, and supporting reporting initiatives with trusted, well-structured data.

This is not a reporting-only role — hands-on ETL development is central to the position. You'll collaborate closely with both technical and business teams throughout the engagement.

Duration: 6 months, with possible extension.
