Job description

Build modern data solutions and help shape a growing Adelaide team.

We're growing our South Australian practice and looking for a Senior Data Consultant who enjoys solving real business problems with modern data technology.

You'll work directly with clients across the design and delivery of modern data platforms, bringing strong engineering foundations together with consulting and advisory skills.

Snowflake capability is particularly important for this role, while experience with Databricks, Microsoft Fabric and emerging AI-enabled delivery approaches will give you plenty of opportunity to expand your toolkit.

What you'll work on

• Design and deliver modern data and analytics solutions.
• Build scalable, well-governed data platforms and pipelines.
• Apply strong data engineering and modelling practices.
• Translate business challenges into practical technical solutions.
• Work directly with client stakeholders.
• Contribute to the growth of our South Australian practice.
• Share your knowledge and support other consultants as they develop.

What you'll bring

We're looking for strong foundations rather than an impossible technology checklist.

Ideally You'll Have

• Strong Snowflake capability
• Data engineering and data modelling experience
• SQL and contemporary data transformation/integration experience
• Experience with Databricks and/or Fabric is highly regarded
• Understanding of data governance and scalable solution design
• Experience working directly with clients or business stakeholders

Exposure to enterprise AI solutions or AI-assisted engineering tools such as GitHub Copilot, Claude Code, Cursor or Snowflake Cortex is a bonus.

Most importantly, you should be curious about where the data profession is heading and capable of judging when new technology genuinely improves an outcome rather than adopting it simply because it's new.

Why Altis?

For more than 25 years, Altis has focused on one thing: helping organisations create better outcomes through data.

We're Australian-owned and technology-agnostic, which means our consultants can focus on solving the right problem rather than selling a particular platform.

At Altis You'll Have The Opportunity To

• Work across varied and challenging Data & AI engagements
• Learn from experienced specialists across consulting, engineering, analytics and AI
• Build your capability through ongoing learning and career development
• Work in a collaborative environment where you're encouraged to challenge ideas and contribute your own
• Work flexibly through our hybrid model
• Access health and wellbeing support for you and your family
• Access paid parental leave and our reward and recognition program

Our values — Be Curious, Own It, Lead with Heart and Discover a Way — shape how we work with our clients and with each other.

Your next move doesn't need to tick every box
