'data analyst' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe you can see a link between them that I don't see?

'it's titanic as complicated' is the wordplay.

'its'+'titanic'+'as'='itstitanicas'
'itstitanicas' with letters rearranged gives 'STATISTICIAN'.

'for' is the link.
