Senior Data Analyst

Senior Data Analyst

As our Senior Data Analyst located in Brisbane or
Sydney, you will be working to transition and rationalise legacy data products
from our SAS, SQL, and PowerBI environments to a new AWS/Databricks
environment. You will be able to make a big difference with us and be exposed
to a broad range of complex data challenges, as we are smaller than the majors
and your circle of influence is greater. This position will have no direct
reports, but as a Senior Data Analyst you will be expected to support uplift
the capability of more junior peers.

Note* This is a 6-month contract.

You'll make an impact by:  

• Timely and accurate delivery of data products across all areas of the business
• Reporting, dashboard creation, analytics and insights generation, project support, data extraction, transformation, maintenance, and documentation
• Write, implement, debug, and test data queries, ensuring compliance with business rules and logic
• Actively support your colleagues, fostering a collaborative environment where knowledge sharing, and teamwork are prioritised
• Build strong working relationships with key stakeholders, including business stakeholders, subject matter experts, data engineers, analysts, testers, and delivery resources

Do things differently with us  

To succeed in this role, you will have: 

• ~5 years in a data analysis or technical analysis role, with a focus on understanding requirements and documenting data mappings.
• Strong Proficiency (~5 years) in SQL and/or Python (or similar) languages, with advanced skills in data manipulation to solve business problems.
• Strong Proficiency (3+ years) in PowerBI or similar data visualisation tools, including expertise in DAX, data modelling, and best practice visual design.
• Strong ability to cross-skill in database programming languages and work with raw and uncleaned data. Exposure to Cloud environments is advantageous, as you will be working on transitioning and rationalising legacy SAS, SQL, and PowerBI data products to an AWS/Databricks environment.
• Proven experience in self-managing and delivering data outcomes to business stakeholders, collaborating with technical and non-technical stakeholders and at varying levels of business.
• Experience in Finance or Banking with a strong understanding of regulatory obligations, data assurance, and governance practices.
