About BPA

BPA is a Brisbane-based company with 34 years of expertise in analysing and advising on how to manage Organisational Culture as an organisational asset. This is our core business.

At its most basic, Organisational Culture is all about “How we do things around here”.

We make extensive use of narrative text research to unpack what an organisation’s culture is actually doing.

Through diagnostic research, we advise organisational executives on how to build their culture strengths and reduce/eliminate the behaviours that are unacceptable or undesirable.

BPA’s office is located in the Brisbane CBD and is close to many public transport options.

About the Position The Assistant Social Researcher will join our Culture Analytics Team (yes, the CATs) and will develop into the role by building skill sets in a range of research activities such as cultural modelling, benchmarking, client advocacy, text analytics, data analysis, data quality assurance, and report-building.

The CATs are a deliberately eclectic group with a range of degrees including Sociology, Anthropology, Philosophy, Psychological Science, Humanities, Data Science, and Applied Sciences.

Their common bond is a serious interest in digging into data to discover the underlying themes coupled with a relentless focus on the quality of what they do.
