Tēnei tūranga - About the Role:

We have an exciting opportunity for a Senior Data Analyst to join the RSBED & SCI Domain sub-team of the Domains team in Data Service Delivery (DSD) unit at the Ministry of Business, Innovation & Employment (MBIE).

As a Senior Data Analyst, you will work closely with your peers to collect, manipulate and interrogate data to deliver robust analytical outputs to our customers and produce the quantitative insights and evidence required for them to be confident in their decision making. You will translate requirements into effective solutions which have a significant impact on the perceived value of the Domains team and the DSD unit.

Experience working with the Longitudinal Business Database and the Integrated Data Infrastructure would be a bonus.

This will be complemented by strategic and critical thinking skills, with sound judgement to analyse evidence and issues. You will provide intellectual leadership and support the team by guiding and mentoring colleagues. You will have excellent communication skills and be a natural relationship manager, being comfortable in building relationships with a wide variety of stakeholders across Government and the sector. You will also have a commitment to innovation and continuous improvement and generating new ideas and ways of doing things.
