ABOUT THE JOB

We are looking for an experienced Senior Data Analyst, Senior BI Analyst or Senior Technical Analyst to work on a six-month business intelligence engagement in the Melbourne CBD. The role has two objectives.

In pursuit of these objectives, the Senior Data Analyst will:

• identify data sources, methods of capture, structure, completeness, accuracy, rates of change, availability, and access permissions;
• work closely with senior client stakeholders to agree on business processes which will contribute data to the data warehouse;
• establish BI objectives, build out the data warehouse, establish master data, and begin a data dictionary;
• develop and embed the business processes necessary for data capture by working with the business to determine requirements and constraints;
• specify and implement technical mechanisms for capturing data from multiple data sources and populating the data warehouse;
• provide requirements and business context for the development of a suite of reports and dashboards;
• until the data warehouse is established, meet immediate reporting requirements by designing and building reports and dashboards using Excel, Power BI, and SharePoint lists; and
• at all times emphasise meaningful metrics, effective visual communication, actionable insights and gently guide the client organisation towards BI best practice.

The outcome of this work will be a BI solution providing meaningful reports and analytics which highlight emerging issues, trends, actionable intelligence, and facilitate data-driven decision-making.
