  • Collaborating with data engineers and analysts to ensure data quality, accessibility and governance standards.
  • Supporting capability uplift across the business through coaching, training and knowledge sharing.

About You

You are a commercially minded data professional who enjoys solving complex problems and influencing decision-makers through data-driven insights.

To be successful, you'll bring:

  • Approximately 5+ years' experience in decision science, data science, advanced analytics or data engineering.
  • Proficiency in SQL and at least one programming language such as Python.
  • Experience working across descriptive, predictive and analytical solutions.
  • Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to communicate complex concepts to both technical and non-technical audiences.
  • Knowledge of data governance, metadata management and security principles.
  • A relevant degree in a quantitative discipline will be highly regarded.

Why Aurizon?

At Aurizon, we're committed to building a data-driven organisation where insights shape strategy and operational excellence. You'll have the opportunity to work on enterprise-wide initiatives, influence key business decisions and collaborate with a highly capable team of data professionals.
