Job Overview

Turn data into insights that help our APAC business make better decisions

We’re looking for a Data Analytics Analyst to join our Sales & Presales team and help transform data into clear, reliable and actionable insights. The succesful candidate will be based in Australia.

This is a hands‑on role for someone who enjoys getting into the detail of data, understanding what the business is trying to achieve, and turning that information into dashboards and insights that people can actually use. You’ll work with stakeholders across our APAC business to improve reporting, develop and enhance Power BI dashboards, investigate data‑quality issues, and help create a more consistent view of business performance.

You don’t need to know everything from day one. We’re looking for someone with strong analytical foundations, practical Power BI experience, curiosity, and the confidence to ask good questions.

What You’ll Be Doing

You’ll work across analytics, reporting and stakeholder support, including:

• Developing and enhancing Power BI dashboards and reports that help Sales and Presales teams understand performance and make informed decisions. Working with stakeholders to understand their questions and translate business requirements into meaningful measures, reports and visualisations.
• Preparing, cleaning and validating structured data from multiple sources.
• Using SQL, Power Query, DAX and Excel to analyse and prepare data.
• Investigating discrepancies and data‑quality issues, identifying root causes and helping improve reporting accuracy.
• Analysing trends and patterns and communicating what the data is telling us in clear business language.
• Testing dashboards and reports to make sure calculations, filters, measures and outputs are accurate and reliable.
• Maintaining clear documentation for reports, datasets, definitions and analytical processes.
• Supporting users with reporting and dashboard questions and helping improve adoption of analytics tools.
• Working with colleagues across APAC to continuously improve how we use data within Sales and Presales.
• Using approved generative AI tools to support analysis, documentation and insight generation, while validating outputs and following our data‑security requirements.

What You’ll Bring

• You’ll ideally bring around 2+ years of experience in data analytics, business intelligence, reporting, sales analytics or a related area.
• More importantly, you can demonstrate that you’ve used data to solve real business problems.
• Hands‑on experience creating reports and dashboards using Microsoft Power BI.
• Working knowledge of SQL and structured data.
• Experience with Power Query and an understanding of DAX and data modelling.
• Strong Microsoft Excel skills.
• Experience cleaning, reconciling and validating data.
• The ability to understand a business question and identify the information required to answer it.
• Strong attention to detail and a commitment to data accuracy.
• The ability to communicate analytical findings clearly to people who may not have a technical background.
• Good problem‑solving skills and the curiosity to investigate why something in the data doesn’t look right.
• The confidence to work with stakeholders and ask questions when requirements or data definitions are unclear.
• It would be great if you also have

You don’t need to tick every box, but exposure to any of the following would be valuable:

• Sales, pipeline, CRM or revenue analytics.
• Salesforce or Microsoft Dynamics 365.
• Microsoft Fabric, Azure data services or another modern cloud data platform.
• Experience working with geographically distributed or APAC stakeholders.
• Experience in technology, software, telecommunications, consulting or professional services.
• Experience using generative AI tools such as Microsoft Copilot, ChatGPT or Claude as part of an analytics workflow.
• Microsoft PL-300 Power BI Data Analyst certification or equivalent practical experience.
