What is the Opportunity?

The Pharos Data & Analytics team within RBC Global Security is looking for a Data Analyst to help transform security data into meaningful insights that drive decision-making across the enterprise. You will work closely with data engineers, product owners, and security stakeholders to explore, analyze, and visualize data from our security data platform.

Collaborate & Communicate

Improve & Scale

• Identify opportunities to automate recurring analyses and reporting workflows.

• Contribute to data quality standards by flagging inconsistencies and proposing validation rules.

• Advanced SQL skills — complex joins, window functions, CTEs, subqueries, query optimization, and performance tuning on large datasets.

• Experience working with Databricks, Delta Lake, or similar cloud-based data platforms.

• Proficiency in building dashboards and visualizations (Python,Power BI, Tableau, or Databricks SQL dashboards).

Nice to Have

• Proficiency in Python for data analysis (pandas, notebooks).

• Experience with Azure cloud services.

• Background in cybersecurity data (vulnerability management, SAST/DAST, asset inventory, compliance metrics).

• Familiarity with version control (Git) and Agile workflows.

• Exposure to statistical analysis or basic ML concepts.

• Experience with data quality frameworks or data governance practices.

What’s in it for you?

We thrive on the challenge to be our best, progressive thinking to keep growing, and working together to deliver trusted advice to help our clients thrive and communities prosper.
