Christchurch, New Zealand Phocas Software Full time

We're a business planning and analytics company on a mission to make people feel good about data.
Since 2001, we've helped thousands of companies turn complex business data into performance boosting results.
Despite our now global status of 300 world-class humans, we've held on to our start-up roots.
The result is a workplace that's fast, exciting and designed for fun.
As the Internal Data Specialist, you'll ensure the business can leverage our internal data sources, allowing us to make better decisions, react faster to changes and build confidence in our data and decisions.
Your work will be split between support and project deliverables working with the Phocas IT and Finance teams and the wider business.
What will you be doing?
Supporting internal reporting systems and data transformation processes.
Implementing new dashboards, reports, data sources and improvements to existing data sources.
Creating scalable and robust pipelines to ingest data from multiple structured and unstructured sources (APIs, databases, flat files, etc.)
into our data platform.
Generating answers to the business' questions by working with our internal data assets.
Improving business understanding of our data including where it comes from, how it fits together, and the meaning of the data.
What are we looking for?
A degree in data science/computer science or similar, and solid (5+ years) experience in similar roles, working with data analytics products (Phocas, Power BI, etc.).
Strong database experience (SQL Server, PostgreSQL) and experience with scripting languages (Python).
A general understanding of finance basics: terms, systems, processes, and best practices.
Strong experience designing, developing, and supporting complex data import and transformation processes.
Experience creating technical and non-technical documentation and user guides.
Proven critical thinking skills; able to proactively problem solve and develop out of the box solutions.
A growth mindset: a willingness to embrace new challenges and opportunities to grow.
Someone who can develop strong relationships and work collaboratively and supportively with a diverse global team.
Bonus points for experience building financial reporting solutions, working with third-party APIs to extract data in an automated manner, and/or experience working in internal customer facing support roles.
Why work at Phocas?
People – when we ask what people like about working here, 'the people' is the single most common answer.
Social/fun stuff – opportunities to get together, sometimes (optional) silly games, & food.
Our office – spacious, conveniently located in sunny Sydenham, plenty of parking for all types of vehicles.
Southern Cross, Life, TPD and Income Protection Insurance.
Extra paid parental leave.
Flexible/hybrid working policy.
Phocas is an Accredited Employer and typically we are strong supporters of international talent, but due to current visa settings and processing times, we can only consider applicants with current NZ working rights.
We are a 2024 Circle Back Initiative Employer – we commit to respond to every applicant.
Phocas is an Equal Employment Opportunity Employer.
All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, colour, religion, sex, national origin, sexual orientation, gender identity, disability and protected veterans status or any other characteristic protected by law.
