The Opportunity
Join our team at an exciting point of transformation as a Business Data Analyst within the SMST Reporting stream. You’ll play a hands-on role in helping faculties, business units and central teams transition from legacy reporting, local workarounds and fragmented processes to governed, trusted and sustainable reporting solutions.
Working closely with diverse stakeholders, you’ll uncover business needs, analyse data and reporting challenges, translate requirements into practical solutions, and help users confidently adopt new reporting platforms and ways of working. You’ll also be instrumental during cutover, go-live, hyper care and transition, providing practical problem-solving and support when it matters most.
This is an opportunity to combine business analysis, data analysis, stakeholder engagement and change to make a tangible impact on how Monash uses and understands data. You’ll help build data literacy, strengthen governed practices and turn recurring business needs into durable reporting products and service improvements.
We are looking for someone with a genuine willingness and eagerness to learn, continuously upskill and embrace change. You’ll be supported to expand your capabilities in modern analytics and reporting while helping others navigate the transition to contemporary, governed and sustainable solutions.
