Data Intelligence Lead

About Us

Globally, energy markets are in transition to a net zero future and the entities within these markets are transforming their underlying business models to ensure that they stay relevant, sustainable and profitable. As one of Australia's largest energy providers, we are proud of our purpose to lead and accelerate the clean energy transformation for all.

We're looking for a data-driven problem solver to design and deliver innovative data solutions that unlock financial and operational insights across our Virtual Power Plant (VPP) assets and customer base.

About the Role

In this role, you'll develop tools and strategies that empower the team to perform routine reporting and analysis, while also leveraging these solutions yourself to conduct deeper, more complex investigations. Your work will directly support the efficient operation of our VPP and contribute to the broader energy transition—from a traditional centralised grid to a dynamic, decentralised two-way energy system.

You'll take ownership of integrating data from small-scale energy assets (under 5MW) with control systems, and lead the development of analytical tools that turn this data into actionable insights.

• Specify, design and deliver data analytics tools and solutions for small scale energy assets such as customer assets, community batteries and other DER capabilities to assist the operational and financial performance review of our VPP assets and customers.
• Engage with data analytics vendors as part of data solution design and ongoing operation. Responsible for monitoring and reporting on service level agreements with our data analytics vendors to ensure integrity of our data analytics tools where applicable.
• Conduct routine and adhoc business and data analysis based on prevailing business requirements. This includes analysing the performance of our VPP optimisation engine (versus a baseline) and investigating areas for improvement to drive better financial performance and customer outcomes.
• Analyse, plan, define data architecture framework, including security, reference data, metadata and master data. Create, implement and maintain back-end data processing routines and procedures.
• Actively engage and contribute to the team to maintain a high performance, flexible, collaborative and customer focused team and develop strong and productive internal and external technology networks.
