Data Analyst - SharePoint and Power BI Reporting

About the role

A newly established Commonwealth regulator, which became an independent statutory agency last year, is looking for a Data Analyst to help its PMO improve its reporting and data maturity. The PMO has built the first version of a Microsoft-based reporting system and now needs someone to deliver the next iteration, with SharePoint and Power BI central to better-informed executive decisions. The initial scope is SharePoint-heavy before moving into Power BI, with roughly an even split over the contract.

• Build forms, workflows and automation in Power Apps and Power Automate where needed
• Deliver training, user support, user guides and technical documentation
• Support testing, deployment and handover so departmental staff can run the solutions after the contract ends

Required profile

• Data analyst with experience using Power BI and SharePoint who has improved how a team uses its data, ideally in a regulator, defence or APS environment
• Ability to turn business requirements into practical solutions, then document, train and hand over well
• Australian citizenship and NV1 required; highly suitable candidates with a Baseline may be considered

Required skills

• Hands-on experience developing SharePoint Online sites and Power BI reports and dashboards in Microsoft 365
• Power Apps and Power Automate
• Desirable: experience on the Defence Protected Network or within a major Defence program
