Mō te tūnga | The role

Your main focus is on data processing and data entry for our Business Prices Delivery team. Our team produce index statistics that measure changes in prices for goods and services and changes in wages (e.g. Producers Price Index, Labour Cost Index).

The role involves handling survey price data and entering the price movements into our systems. The work includes data entry, classifying, validating, processing, and checking the data and questioning results. The data comes to us in different shapes and forms, and at different dates and frequencies so time management, organisational skills and teamwork are crucial attributes to be successful in this role. Being able to work to deadlines is extremely important. Once finished, the processed data is then passed on to our data analysts to produce official statistics.

Another aspect of the role is the opportunity to innovate. We are looking to find new ways to work, be more efficient, automate and make process improvements.
