  • Analyse data for trends and patterns with clear objectives in mind

  • Maintain schema, metadata and data documentation

  • Provide training to stakeholders on data exploration, visualisation and report usage

  • Proven capability in data modelling and transformation

  • Excellent analytical and problem-solving skills, including root cause analysis

  • Experience working with structured and unstructured datasets

  • Data pipeline and workflow tools: dbt, Airflow, Fivetran, Luigi, Azkaban

  • Python or similar scripting languages

  • Machine learning toolsets such as Snowpark Python or Jupyter Notebook

  • Working knowledge of Agile / Scrum methodologies

A graduate degree in Computer Science, Statistics, Informatics, Information Systems or a related quantitative discipline is preferred.

  • $145,000 + Superannuation

  • Hybrid working model based in Adelaide
