Hi guys, I recently joined a consultancy company as a business data analyst for the internal team. I am in my initial stage of the career and am also wondering except creating reports and visualisations, what is expected from a business data analyst? It would be great if I get some ideas about what all is expected from a data analyst for an internal team.

This is going to be really hard for strangers to answer without more context. Can you talk to someone on your team or find a mentor at your company?

Yes, I’ll do that first thing in the morning.

At least, put the company name down so people working at the same company can give you the advice

I had a chat with my team regarding this so they have a tasks to complete, I thought this was the easiest way to find out. Thanks for the suggestion though!
