  • Have experience in a customer-facing role—preferably a consulting role within rail, transport modelling, logistics, or shift-planning
  • Are comfortable interpreting data and delivering analytic insights with tools like SQL, Power BI, or Tableau
  • Enjoy problem-solving, modelling, and collaborating directly with users
  • Are based in Brisbane, with willingness to travel Australia-wide (and occasionally abroad)
  • An aptitude for clear, personable communication (verbal and written)
  • The ability to influence and manage customer relationships.
  • A passion for innovation and a desire to grow and learn.
  • Delivers what they promise to a high standard

Benefits

  • Fun, inclusive and nurturing team culture who'll work hard to deliver excellent results for customers
  • Annual bonus
  • Flexible, hybrid schedule – 2 days WFH and 3 days in our Brisbane office once you have completed onboarding
  • Opportunity to learn from a great mentor who is an expert with our software
  • Work closely with our developers scoping, testing, and implementing solutions
  • Opportunity for travel – domestic to start and international as we scale
