  • Provide actionable insights and recommendations based on data findings, and present clear narratives for both technical and non‑technical audiences
  • Mentor and coach junior analysts as the Melbourne team scales, fostering a culture of quality, reuse and continuous improvement
Required skills and experience
  • Significant experience as a Data Analyst or Analytics Consultant, preferably in a professional services environment, with comfort serving both internal stakeholders and external clients
  • Strong technical skills in SQL and Python, with experience across Databricks / Spark and Power BI; familiarity with Alteryx (or similar) is a plus
