The Position

The Royal Melbourne Hospital (RMH) is seeking an accomplished Director, Data & Analytics to lead its Health Intelligence function and realise greater value from data across clinical, operational and research settings. Reporting to the Chief Quality Officer, this role will shape and execute RMH’s data and analytics strategy, strengthen governance and quality, and enable timely, trusted insights that support better decisions and improved patient care.

The Director will lead an established team shaping their purpose, building capability and developing a high-performance culture. Leading engagement across the organisation, the Director will be charged with building organisational confidence in data quality, enabling timely and tailored access to data and analytics tools, and provide strategic oversight of major initiatives including the transition from Qlik to Power BI, implementation of contemporary tools to support data for AI and modernisation of RMH’s data environment.

The successful candidate will bring a strong technical foundation developed through hands-on data and analytics roles, alongside a proven record of leading and developing people. Candidates are expected to bring contemporary expertise across data strategy, architecture, governance, analytics, business intelligence and visualisation, with the judgement to assess emerging technologies and translate complex technical matters into clear organisational priorities. Equally important will be the ability to engage broadly and build trusted relationships with executives, clinicians, operational leaders and technical specialists.

Healthcare experience would be valuable but is not essential. Applications are welcomed from senior data and analytics leaders in other complex, regulated or mission-led environments who can bring contemporary tools, technologies and approaches to RMH.
