  • Lead Agile delivery cadences (backlog, sprint planning, stand‑ups, reviews) and manage work in Azure DevOps (Boards, Repos, Pipelines), including code reviews and QA checks
  • 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
  • Demonstrated delivery leadership using Agile ways of working and Azure DevOps
  • Excellent communication skills and the ability to collaborate effectively across diverse teams, adapting communication for technical and non‑technical stakeholders
  • Proven ability to lead projects and mentor team members, setting clear standards and uplifting capability
Desirable
  • Exposure to dbt, Microsoft Fabric / ADF, data product thinking, or analytics in a financial advisory / transactions context
Benefits & culture
  • 9‑day fortnight with no salary reduction
  • Funded professional membership and study assistance
  • Up to 26 weeks' paid parental leave | paid secondary carers' leave
  • Fully funded gym membership | Health Insurance discounts
  • And many more
