A data analyst is a data management role identifying data requirements, defining data, and developing and maintaining data models.

Responsiblities of a data analyst are: * Collecting data from different sources, either by surveying people, or gathering already captured data. * Cleaning and preparing data depending on the requirements of the analysis to ensure result accuracy. * Analyzing data and interpreting results – this involves identifying trends or patterns in data that can help in making informed decisions. * Communicating analysed results to teams through visualizations or written reports.
