Data Analyst

Turn data into knowledge and deliver meaningful business outcomes with Mackay Regional Council.

Join our Information Services Branch in this Level 4 (Stream A) role. Work with key business stakeholders and external vendors to understand business needs, analyse data and design reporting solutions that provide information-not just data. Help improve corporate systems and processes and evaluate whether implemented solutions achieve stakeholder goals and measurable outcomes.

You'll need:

3-5 years' relevant experience in data analysis, business reporting, business systems or a related field.
Experience contributing to successful ICT projects and preparing business requirements and functional specifications.
Strong analytical, communication and stakeholder engagement skills, with the ability to turn business needs and data into practical solutions.
Knowledge of business process mapping, systems development and project methodologies, and an understanding of change management.
A detail-oriented, self-starting and solution-driven approach, with the ability to work independently and in a project team.
A current Queensland C class driver's licence and a commitment to safe, inclusive work practices.

Practical experience and skills are essential; relevant qualifications are desirable but not required. Familiarity with SQL, data modelling, Microsoft Fabric, cloud-based analytics, SharePoint or local government corporate applications would be advantageous.
