About the Role:
Talent Insights is partnering with a Sydney-based enterprise as they build out their analytics function and push towards self-serve reporting.
We're looking for someone who can sit with a stakeholder, translate what they actually need, build the underlying data model and ETL pipeline, validate the data is fit for purpose, then bring it to life in a dashboard. One person owning data through to story, not a hand-off between a data person and a viz person.
Key Responsibilities:

We're looking for someone who can sit with a stakeholder, translate what they actually need, build the underlying data model and ETL pipeline, validate the data is fit for purpose, then bring it to life in a dashboard. One person owning data through to story, not a hand-off between a data person and a viz person.
Key Responsibilities:
- Partner directly with stakeholders to gather requirements and shape them into a data and visualisation solution
- Design and build ETL pipelines and data models across multiple source systems
- Build star schema and medallion architecture models to support self-serve reporting
- Validate and quality-check data before it reaches a dashboard
- Build Power BI/Tableau dashboards that clearly tell the story behind the data
- Write and optimise SQL, DAX and Power Query for performance at scale
- Work autonomously, owning problems end-to-end rather than waiting for direction
Must haves:
- Strong hands-on ETL and data modelling experience
- Deep, demonstrable Power BI development experience
- Solid SQL and DAX skills
- Hands-on Databricks experience
- Self-driven with strong stakeholder management, comfortable running requirements conversations and owning the outcome.
- Python experience nice to have, not essential
- A genuine passion for turning data into a clear, compelling story, not just building charts
- Prior experience blending data engineering/modelling work with visualisation delivery, rather than working purely on one side of that line.
