    JOBĀ  DETAILS

    Requirements
    • You have 6+ years of experience in roles that combine data, design, and complex stakeholder environments.
    • Demonstrated experience mapping data landscapes and assessing data quality in complex, multi-system environments.
    • Strong facilitation skills – you’ve run workshops that actually move things forward, not just surface information.
    • Experience designing governance frameworks, operating models, or data strategies that organisations can realistically adopt, including the use of AI.
    • Comfort with ambiguity and low data maturity – you don’t need a clean slate to do good work.
    • Excellent written communication – your deliverables are clear, practical, and used, not filed away.
    • Tech literacy: able to understand system architectures, integration points, and data flows without being a developer.
    Responsibilities
    • Map data landscapes – what data exists, where it lives, how it moves between systems and teams
    • Identify gaps, inconsistencies, shadow processes, and manual workarounds that create or consume important data
    • Conduct stakeholder interviews and workshops to surface pain points and current-state practices
    • Assess data quality issues – duplication, incomplete records, inconsistent definitions – and their organisational root causes
    • Apply AI across these processes to accelerate analysis and focus effort where it adds the most value
    • Design practical data governance frameworks: principles, roles, decision rights, standards, and escalation paths
    • Define the use of AI – how models access organisational data, what they’re permitted to do with it, and who’s accountable for the outcomes
    • Define data domains and map datasets to business purpose, ownership, and stewardship responsibilities
    • Develop future-state operating models and transition roadmaps that are staged, realistic, and fit for purpose
    • Document roles and responsibilities – Data Owners, Stewards, Custodians – in ways people can actually act on
    • Design and run cross-functional workshops for discovery, validation, and alignment – bringing competing stakeholders into the room
    • Navigate complex organisational dynamics across multiple teams, with varying data literacy and competing priorities
    • Communicate clearly with executives and operational teams, translating between technical and non-technical audiences
    • Build genuine buy-in, not just sign-off
    • Manage your own engagements with light oversight – coordinating stakeholders, maintaining workplans, and tracking progress
    • Produce concise, evidence-based deliverables: process maps, data flow diagrams, governance frameworks, roadmaps, and RACI matrices
    • Contribute to scoping and estimation for proposals where your expertise is relevant
    Desired Qualifications
    • Experience in government, health, legal services, aged care, disability, or other mission-driven sectors
    • Background in business analysis, including business requirements documentation and process mapping
    • Familiarity with data reporting, advocacy data, or national and sector-level data standards
    • Experience working in or alongside digital delivery teams, including UX researchers, service designers, developers and project managers
    • Understanding of human-centred design and how your work can integrate with human-centred processes and insights
