Lead Data Analyst

Sydney or Melbourne

Hybrid

Up To $170,000 + Super + Bonus

About the prospect:

This global medical company runs a centralised Data & Analytics function that operates more like an internal consultancy than a traditional department, small, highly engaged, and trusted enough to sit close to senior leadership. This particular role is dedicated to a business unit which has never had its own analytics partner before, so it is a genuine build from the ground up rather than stepping into an established function. You will work directly with finance, supply chain, customer service, sales and commercial leadership, moving the business off legacy, manual reporting and onto a up-to-date analytics platform, while shaping how the function itself operates.

What you'll be doing:
Own analytics initiatives end to end, from problem definition through build to delivery and stakeholder adoption, personally involved at every step rather than handing pieces off to someone else
Work hands on in SQL and either Databricks or Microsoft Fabric, moving the business off a legacy on premise environment
Partner directly with senior stakeholders across finance, supply chain, sales and operations, translating business problems into data solutions




Build and maintain Power BI reporting, replacing manual and Excel based processes
Prioritise and push back on competing demands with explicit, commercial reasoning rather than simply absorbing every request
Contribute to the team's broader move towards more advanced data engineering and AI/ML capability
Mentor and build capability across stakeholders and colleagues as the function grows

What we need to see:
Genuine hands on experience in Databricks or Microsoft Fabric
Strong SQL experience
Real, evidenced ownership of a project end to end, not just requirements gathering or design handed off to someone else to build
A track record of translating ambiguous business problems into practical data solutions
Genuine enjoyment of stakeholder engagement, education and relationship building
Evidence of drive and initiative both in and out of the workplace

Bonus points:
Experience in healthcare or medtech
Exposure to a business undergoing genuine data transformation or modernisation
People leadership experience, useful for the pathway into broader Data & Analytics leadership over time, though not required
