You will join a team of seven Information Analysts, who work closely with other analysts and developers within the data warehousing and information management space. We enjoy a hybrid environment, with most of our time spent working from home. Currently, we come together in the Parramatta office on at least one specified day each fortnight, however, this may increase in future.

What we’re looking for

• specifying complex requirements using a variety of techniques including workshops, wireframes, business process mapping, etc.,
