Entry-Level Data Analyst

Role overview

Olive Tree Consulting Group is hiring an entry-level Data Analyst to support a Dublin-based financial institution on a fully remote basis. The role is centered on converting raw operational information into practical insights that help consultants identify where work slows down, where communication breaks, and where management processes can be strengthened.

This position is suited to someone who is organized, naturally curious about how businesses operate, and able to explain findings in straightforward language. The work is less about advanced statistical modelling and more about clarity, careful documentation, and making data genuinely useful for consulting decisions.

What you'll do

• Collect, structure, and maintain data connected to internal workflows, project timelines, and meeting patterns.
• Build simple visual dashboards and charts that highlight delays and bottlenecks for both consultants and the client.
• Examine logs and records to spot recurring patterns in decision-making and follow-through.
• Support the upkeep of project databases that preserve the working record for the engagement.
• Work with the consulting team to prepare reports focused on practical recommendations.
• Track management improvements over time by monitoring relevant performance indicators.
• Keep all information accurate, organized, and clearly documented so it can support long-term planning.

What the role requires

The ideal candidate values precision, simplicity, and sound judgment. You should be comfortable spotting small inconsistencies before they turn into larger issues and explaining what data means in a plain, usable way. Because the role is remote, strong written communication and the ability to manage your own schedule are essential.

A calm, focused approach will be more valuable here than corporate language or pressure-driven working styles. The organization is looking for someone who can work independently while remaining dependable and responsive to the consulting team.

Helpful background

• Basic familiarity with Excel or Google Sheets, including formulas and tables.
• Introductory exposure to data visualization, or a willingness to learn how to present information clearly.
• Strong concise writing skills with a preference for plain, direct communication.
• Interest in finance or management consulting, especially in how large teams coordinate work.
• Experience from university projects or internships involving large volumes of information or fixed deadlines.
• Ability to handle confidential client information with discretion and professionalism.

What the company offers

This is a permanent, full-time role with a fully remote working arrangement. The employer offers a competitive salary for an entry-level professional starting out in data or consulting. The work environment emphasizes clear communication, sustainability, and a steady pace rather than frantic deadlines.

You will gain exposure to management challenges within a Dublin-based financial client and have the opportunity to see how practical, structural improvements can make large organizations run more smoothly. The team is focused on helping you build your skills in a supportive, remote-first setting.

About Olive Tree Consulting Group

Olive Tree Consulting Group is an advisory practice that helps leadership teams solve recurring management problems. Its work sits between strategy and daily execution, with a focus on the patterns that cause decisions to be reopened, priorities to stall, or ownership to remain unclear.

The firm values practical changes over broad transformation programs. Its approach looks closely at how decisions are made, how meetings are conducted, and how accountability is recorded. It prefers concise written notes and clear ownership over polished presentations and vague alignment.

The company believes that memory is not a management system. It helps teams create the smallest possible written record to support ongoing work, reducing dependence on who attended a meeting or who remembers what was agreed. The goal is a quieter, more manageable operating rhythm that makes existing work easier to lead.
