Job description

Data Management Officer
Full-time Temporary with a Possibility of Permanency

Details: The Data, Projects and Improvement Branch partners with CED business units to provide rich data insights that uplift our services to the ACT community, target regulatory action and make a more efficient, effective directorate. The Data Management Officer is responsible for ingesting and transforming data into our warehouse, supercharging the work of reporting experts within the branch and beyond.

Working in a fast‑paced and dynamic environment, the Data Management Officer will work closely with the Assistant Director, Director and colleagues across the branch to extract, transform and load data from diverse business systems ranging from Salesforce platforms to Software-as-a-Service applications. The role also involves engaging with database administrators to optimise and monitor the CED data environment.

The successful applicant will bring strong analytical and communication skills, demonstrate sound judgement, and be able to manage competing priorities while delivering high‑quality outcomes. Experience in FME, SQL, Microsoft Fabric and using AI to support problem solving and query optimisation is essential for this role. The role does not involve the direct supervision of staff but does require a demonstrated capacity to work collaboratively and operate with a high level of autonomy.

We are committed to creating an inclusive environment where people with diverse thoughts, lived experience, and perspectives can thrive and contribute their unique talents to the ACTPS and ACT community. We encourage Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, people with disability, people with culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds, veterans, younger and older workers, and people with diverse genders, sexes and sexualities to apply.

Eligibility/Other requirements:

Required: Australian Government Baseline security clearance or the ability to attain this clearance.

Highly desirable:

• Certified FME Advanced or Professional certification
• MS SQL certification.

Notes: This is a temporary position available immediately until 30 July 2027 with the possibility of permanency. An order of merit will be established from this selection process and may be used to fill future identical vacancies over the next 12 months.

Note: Under the ACTPS employment framework you may be placed in another role where required for the efficient administration of the service.

Where an offer of employment is for a fixed-term period, any related temporary contracts within the Territory will be issued in compliance with the requirements and applicable exceptions outlined in the Fair Work Act.

The ACT public service is committed to closing the gap, underpinned by the belief that when Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people have a genuine say in the design and delivery of policies, programs and services that affect them, better life outcomes are achieved.
