I'd say, if most of your job is analyzing the data yourself and trying to make sense of it, R wins hands down. Particularly if statistical graphics or advanced statistical methods may be needed, but it's still the case even if they won't. If most of your job is going to be implementing data analysis techniques that you or someone else has done earlier and putting things into production, then Python will quite possibly be more suitable.
