Job Description

Hello. We're Virgin Australia. We're the airline that's always done things a little different. Our way. The Virgin way. We're on a mission to make flying better than 'nice'. And to do that, it takes a team of talented people who are passionate about customer experience, doing the right thing always, with a focus on safety – in the air, on the ground and in our workplaces. A team who values real diversity and inclusion, in a big brand with big ambitions.

What you'll be doing

n

As a Data Analyst within our Technology Platforms team, you'll sit at the intersection of analytics and engineering, helping shape how we turn business questions into trusted, reusable data products.

n

Reporting to the Data Management Lead, you'll work closely with engineers, product owners and delivery leads to deliver high-quality information products aligned to our Commercial domain.

n

In this role, you will:

n

n
- Facilitate workshops with business stakeholders to define and refine requirements for data and information products
n
- Translate business questions into structured data requirements and semantic definitions
n
- Design and build data models, including contributing to our "gold" layer models (in Databricks)
n
- Maintain and evolve business glossaries, ensuring data is clearly defined, catalogued and aligned across domains
n
- Partner with Data Engineers on data integration and transformation, balancing semantic accuracy with technical implementation
n
- Embed testing into your workflow, including authoring and validating data quality checks
n
- Ensure metadata, lineage and governance standards are applied through tools such as Unity Catalog
n
- Drive stakeholder alignment on priorities,



outcomes and delivery sequencing
n
- Contribute to agile delivery through sprint ceremonies and maintaining Jira story cards
n

n

This is a blended role reflecting the evolving nature of data teams, combining strong analytical thinking with hands‐on data engineering capability.

n

This role is Brisbane based, but we may also consider candidates that can be based out of our Sydney office.

n

You'll be great in this role if you have...

n

n
- Experience in data analysis, analytics engineering or data modelling roles, ideally within a modern data platform environment

- Strong SQL skills, with working knowledge of Python

n
- Proven ability to facilitate workshops and engage stakeholders to translate business needs into data solutions

- Experience building and testing data models, with a focus on quality and reusability
n
- Familiarity with tools such as dbt, version control (Git) and data cataloguing or metadata management practices (desirable)
n
- A background managing or working closely with data platforms, with an interest in both analytics and engineering
n

You don't need to have come from a pure data engineering background.



We're looking for someone who is comfortable operating across both analytics and engineering, and enjoys working closely with the business to deliver meaningful outcomes.

n

We're committed to looking after you, with some of the best advantages and conditions in the industry – including (but not limited to):

n

n
- Discounted flights for you and your loved ones (including $1000 worth of travel credits per year)
n
- A flexible, hybrid work style. Work from home or the office, adapt your location to suit your style and needs
n
- One of Brisbane's most admired head office locations, with South Bank train station, a supermarket, pharmacy, and lunch options downstairs plus a 5‐minute walk to the Busway, a rooftop restaurant and onsite gym (with a low membership fee) and South Bank Parklands just across the road
n
- Discounts on travel insurance, lounge membership, car hire, accommodation, and experiences worldwide
n
- Cheaper hospitality, retail, technology, beauty and wellness services
n
- Free counselling and access to a well‐being app to support your physical, mental, social and financial health

When everyone is included, everyone wins
