Role impact and contribution
The Jobs First Commission is seeking a Senior Data Analyst to deliver high‐quality, evidence‐based insights that inform policy, strategy and delivery priorities across government.
Working in a small, high‐impact team, this role will analyse complex datasets from multiple sources to support labour market analysis, program design, monitoring and evaluation, and advice to senior decision makers.
The role plays an important part in supporting the Commission's work to improve employment outcomes, strengthen local jobs and ensure decisions are underpinned by robust data and analysis.
This role suits a practical, hands‐on analyst who enjoys working end‐to‐end - from shaping analytical approaches through to delivery and implementation.
You will be comfortable working across disciplines, collaborating closely with colleagues in policy, delivery, change, communications and stakeholder engagement to ensure insights are clearly communicated, understood and embedded in practice.
Key accountabilities include:
Analysing complex quantitative and qualitative data from multiple sources to generate insights that inform policy, strategy and delivery decisions
Developing and delivering practical analytical products, including reports, dashboards and visualisations, that translate complex findings into clear, actionable advice
Applying best‐practice analytical, statistical and data‐quality techniques to ensure the integrity, relevance and usability of data and insights
Working in a hands‐on, delivery‐focused way, taking responsibility for end‐to‐end analysis rather than solely coordinating or overseeing work
Collaborating across disciplines including policy, change, communications, stakeholder engagement and implementation to ensure insights are clearly communicated and embedded in practice
Building strong stakeholder relationships and providing trusted advice on data, assumptions and limitations to support informed decision‐making
You will be joining our Procurement Reform and Banking Group as part of the Jobs First Commission.

You will bring:
