Statistical assistants usually support analysts, researchers or managers by preparing datasets, running calculations, producing charts and checking that survey or administrative data is usable before reporting.

Career paths
Development can move toward data analyst, research assistant, statistical reporting specialist, survey analyst or database-focused support work. Building clean documented datasets is the usual stepping stone.
Good to know
Check which software is used, who defines the formulas, how data quality is reviewed and whether the assistant presents findings or only prepares material for others.
