Job description

Business Data Analyst | Global Consumer Brand (Sports)

We're exclusively partnering with a well-established global consumer sports brand to find a Business Data Analyst who can turn complex datasets into insights the business actually acts on.

This is a high-visibility role sitting within a broader global data and analytics function. You'll support Sales, Marketing and Finance with the data behind monthly sales insights, quarterly customer reviews and market share reporting - the kind of work that gets presented directly to customers and senior stakeholders.

The role carries real ownership of market share reporting and a growing presence in customer-facing reviews. There's a genuine progression path here too, including exposure to the wider global analytics team as your capability builds.

This is a role for someone who's comfortable picking up a dataset in Python and turning it into something a sales leader can act on. To be successful in this role you need curiosity, follow-through, and the ability to build trust with people less technical than you.

Key responsibilities

• Build and maintain Power BI reporting for monthly sales insights and quarterly customer sell-through reviews
• Own and refine market share dashboards and reporting
• Pull and connect data across multiple systems and sources using Python and SQL
• Support marketing with consumer and eCommerce analytics
• Present data-driven insights to stakeholders at all levels, including customers
• Support demand forecasting and inventory reporting
• Pick up and connect into existing dashboards and automations as handover progresses

About you

• Naturally curious with a genuine interest in what the data is telling you
• Comfortable working autonomously and figuring things out
• Accountable - do what you say you'll do
• A team player working in a small, friendly team
• Able to communicate complex data simply to non-technical stakeholders
• Keen to grow - open to where this role could take you
• Hands-on experience with Python and SQL to manipulate and analyse data (non-negotiable)
• Experience with Power BI or a similar visualisation tool
• Comfortable working with multiple, disconnected data sources
• Bachelor's degree in business, mathematics, statistics, data science or a related field
• Minimum three years' relevant experience

Why you'll want to join

• A genuinely global role, connected into teams across multiple regions
• Real progression, including exposure to the broader international analytics team
• A small, close-knit team that likes to have a laugh
• Well-established, globally recognised brand with a strong market reputation

Additional information

• Melbourne South Eastern Suburbs - on-site predominantly with flexible working arrangement
• Interview process will include a case study presentation
