You will demonstrate a strong business performance perspective, success in the efficient and effective creation and use of data and information assets, a deep understanding of the value they bring to an organisation as well as highly developed analytical skills to add insights and translate these into initiatives that provide senior leaders the information required to make decisions.
You will be comfortable in supporting broader capability development initiatives and will be able to communicate complex insights effectively, both in written reports and in person. You will be seen as highly collaborative and collegial, someone who is brought into a range of areas across the group as your ability to understand root cause issues and provide solutions is highly valued.

- Proven experience in the understanding of data sourcing, creation of dynamic reporting and the ability to ‘read' across the group to provide relevant report insights.
- Demonstrated experience in the identification, evaluation, and adoption of data analytics capabilities to transform group performance with evidence-based performance measures.
- Excellent attention to detail, clear plain language written and oral communication, delivering requirements through practical technical documentation and business case contribution.
- Comfort in challenging current thinking and asking good questions to understand processes, issues, and barriers.
- Strong leadership skills with the ability to use different interpersonal styles and communication techniques, expectations management, and targeted influencing of senior leaders and other stakeholders to gain cooperation, support, effect change, and inspire others.
