Data Governance Analyst

Hi, we're PEXA

Every time a house is bought, sold or refinanced in Australia your lawyer, conveyancer and lender will most likely use a digital platform to settle your property, this is where we come in. PEXA's world-first digital settlement platform has revolutionised the way we exchange property in Australia helping over 20,000 people a week safely settle their homes. And this is just the beginning. Our data and insights are helping organisations unlock the intel they need to drive change and possibilities. 

Since starting our journey in 2010, we now employ a team of over 1,000 people working across multiple continents. We're still growing, innovating and looking ahead, but behind our greatest achievements, there is a team of curious creators and big thinkers. That's why, we're looking for ambitious people like yourself to join the team.

A day in the life

As a Data Governance Analyst, your day will be about keeping our data organised, accurate, and compliant so the business can move forward with confidence. You'll spend time maintaining relevant and appropriate metadata using the data dictionary, making sure private information is tagged and masked and, more broadly, educating and encouraging stakeholders to integrated data governance practices into their daily work.

You'll follow up with colleagues in Risk, Security, Legal or Regulatory Affairs to confirm data governance, security and regulatory requirements are adhered to when new projects and initiatives are set up.

Some days you'll prepare evidence for our upcoming ISO 27001 audit, other days you'll help compare and test cataloguing or privacy tools to see which best fit our needs. It's a varied role where you'll make a visible impact, support a collaborative team, and keep things running smoothly while a valued colleague is on parental leave.

We're open to flexibility, so if part time is more suitable, let's chat.
