Full time permanent opportunity | CBD Location

Bridging data and decision gap with intuitive, actionable insights using PowerBI. Drive smarter decisions and uplift reporting maturity across business.

Join a team that's All Kinds of Useful. At Origin, being useful is more than a tagline — it's how we approach work every day. We power homes, deliver award-winning internet, and help lead Australia's energy transition. If you're driven by purpose and excited to be part of something bigger, we'd love to have you on the journey.

As a Senior Developer, you'll play a key role in turning complex data into clear, engaging dashboards and reports that drive smarter decisions across the business. You'll work closely with stakeholders to design user-friendly, high-performing solutions, applying your expertise in Power BI, DAX, and semantic modelling with a strong eye for visual design. This is a great opportunity to shape how insights are delivered, uplift reporting maturity, and make a real impact across the organisation.

• Engage with stakeholders to gather reporting requirements, demonstrate prototypes, and deliver training or walkthroughs.
• Design, develop, and maintain Power BI reports, dashboards, and data models, ensuring alignment with business objectives and best practices in data storytelling.
• Collaborate within agile delivery teams, actively contributing to sprint planning, backlog refinement, and reviews.
• Optimise data models and report performance, applying techniques such as star schema design, DAX optimisation, Power Query transformations, and performance tuning.
• Integrate and manage multiple data sources (e.g. Databricks, Excel, APIs) while ensuring security, governance, and compliance through practices like Row Level Security (RLS).
• Drive continuous improvement by identifying automation opportunities, uplifting self-service reporting, and sharing knowledge on Power BI features and visualisation trends.
• Mentor and support junior analysts and citizen developers, fostering capability uplift across the organisation's data and analytics community.

• 5-7+ years' experience in business intelligence, data visualisation, or reporting within complex, data-rich organisations.
• Proven expertise in Power BI (Desktop & Service), including semantic model development, report development, deployment, workspace management, and content sharing.
• Advanced skills in SQL, DAX and Power Query (M) for complex calculations, data cleansing, and transformation.
• Strong understanding of relational data modelling and semantic model best practices, with exposure to modern data platforms such as Databricks (desirable).
• Experience in agile delivery environments, collaborating with business stakeholders to refine reporting needs and deliver actionable insights.
• Ability to apply UX and design best practices to create user-friendly, engaging dashboards for executive and operational audiences.
• Strong communication and documentation skills, with the ability to explain technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders and ensure governance compliance (e.g. RLS, access management).
• Hands on experience on GitHub on PowerBI is highly desirable
