- Experience supporting teams in the BI and data analytics space in their undertaking of complex financial modelling leveraging data from core financial systems or finance data warehouses.

**About our Team**
The Defence Transformation Strategy identified the need to establish a continuous improvement culture a component of which includes becoming a more data-informed Defence organisation. Foundational to this will be the ability to establish high quality data providing the right information on the right things at the right time to support decision-makers. Strategic direction to the organisation on how data is to be managed in a more deliberate and disciplined manner including how information is collected, stored, analysed and applied in the decision making process is being provided through the implementation of a Defence Data Strategy.

Key enablers of these strategies include the proposed One Data Defence (1DD) and Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) capabilities, both of which require Defence Groups and Services to begin to catalogue data sets, undertake data remediation and enrichment and implement improved data governance and management practices in support of the deployment of these improved capabilities.

Defence has adopted a federated approach to enterprise data governance. A federated data governance model can be described as a ‘hub’ and ‘spoke’ model. For Defence, the central ‘hub’ represents the Data Division under the leadership of the Chief Data Integration Officer (CDIO) and the central ‘spoke’ for Finance Group being the Directorate of Financial Information Management (DFIM). This means that the execution of data governance and management practices are decentralised ensuring flexibility for the Groups and Services accommodating their respective needs.

DFIM plays an active role as custodians of the finance data assets. This includes oversight, standardisation and coordination of data governance, establishing foundational data management practices and capabilities, articulating data requirements, facilitating data sharing, improving and maintaining data quality, establishing curated datasets and integrated data warehouses and supporting analytics and business intelligence teams across DFG. DFIM operates a small but evolving team out of Victoria Barracks Melbourne.

You are a capable, flexible problem solver with strong data management, analytical and conceptual skills and are able to operate as part of a multi-disciplined team.

You will be required to identify, anticipate and respond to stakeholders’ needs and expectations to achieve Defence outcomes. You will be accountable to lead a team, set work priorities, communicate effectively, manage workflow and resources whilst working in a dynamic and busy environment. Core competencies we are targeting include:

- People’s leader, influential communicator, develop
