This is a rewarding opportunity to work with an innovative organisation in a growing team. Exposure will go beyond technology and focus on outcomes driven solution implementation, in an array of verticals.

  • Stay Ahead of New BI Tools & Features - continuously explore new technologies and industry trends, including AI & augmented analytics, to improve our data capabilities
  • Contribute to Development of the Team - help develop more junior team members with technical support and guidance. Share details of recent project solutions, transfer knowledge and discoveries in bi-weekly team catch ups

What we are looking for in you

• • 3+ years in a data/reporting analyst role - preferably in an agency, consultancy, or client-facing environment
  • Proficiency in reporting tools - Power BI, Tableau, Qlik, SQL, and Excel
  • Strong problem-solving skills - the ability to translate data into actionable insights
  • Interest in AI Assisted Analytics - demonstrate comprehension and articulate knowledge of emerging augmented analytics features, including Copilot, Insight Advisor, and Tableau Pulse.

A few of the benefits

• You'll have a great compensation package, private health & dental insurance, corporate discounts and career development through Dentsu University, and free access to LinkedIn learning

• 29+ days of annual leave (25 days of regular holidays, birthdays off and 3 additional wellness days)

• We also offer the opportunity to volunteer for up to 2 days per year and tend to close down the agency between Christmas and New Years
