About the role

AGL's Portfolio Valuation team have a newly created opportunity for a Senior Data Product & Governance Analyst.

This role will own and lead the data product, governance and operating model to ensure analytical models have clear ownership, robust testing and effective management.

Based in Melbourne, this is an opportunity to move beyond traditional data governance and take genuine ownership of how data products operate across the business. You'll help connect users, data owners, stewards and technical teams, resolving ambiguity and shaping data products around real business needs.

What you'll be doing:

• Own and evolve the data product and governance operating model, establishing clear ownership, stewardship and decision pathways.
• Coordinate data owner and steward reviews, sign-off and user acceptance testing.
• Lead the triage of data quality issues, bringing stakeholders together to clarify impacts, priorities and accountability.
• Ensure changes and upstream data issues are clearly communicated, including impacts, workarounds and resolution progress.
• Analyse how data products are being used to understand adoption, dependencies and changing business needs.
• Conduct user research to uncover friction, duplication, control gaps and opportunities for improvement.
• Translate business needs into clear requirements and priorities for data owners and developers.
• Help shape Databricks data products that balance usability, reuse, scalability, governance, quality and lifecycle ownership.

What you'll bring:

• A tertiary qualification in data science, information systems, engineering or a related field.
• SQL literacy and experience with Databricks are desirable.
• Experience across data governance, data product management, data stewardship, business analysis or related discipline, ideally within energy, trading or financial services.
• Knowledge of data ownership, stewardship, data quality, metadata and lineage, user acceptance testing, change control and release readiness.
• Stakeholder management, facilitation and communication skills, with the ability to navigate ambiguity and competing priorities.
• Experience partnering with data engineering and technology teams.
