Job Description - Business Analyst - Data

Senior Data Platform Business Analyst

Azure Databricks

Contract - long term

Melbourne

$650-700 all in, ex GST

We're supporting a major data modernisation program. It needs an experienced Business Analyst with a strong focus on data who is equally comfortable in a requirements workshop and in a technical design discussion about cloud data platforms.

What you'll be doing
  • Running discovery sessions and workshops with business leaders, end users, engineers and product owners to define what the new platform must deliver
  • Capturing needs as user stories, functional designs, process views, wireframes and mock-ups within an Agile delivery model
  • Defining the non-functional side of a Databricks-based platform on Azure: access control and security, connectivity, ingestion patterns, governance, support model, cost controls, performance and scale
  • Reviewing the current data landscape and helping shape the future-state design, including data flows, lineage, source-to-target mapping and a staged migration plan
  • Writing integration specifications between source systems and the platform
  • Making sure reporting needs, especially Power BI, are properly reflected in platform design
  • Brokering trade-offs and agreement across competing stakeholder priorities
What you'll bring
  • 3+ years as a BA on reporting, BI or data analytics programs (essential)
  • Hands-on involvement in Azure data platform initiatives, ideally with Databricks, ADLS, Data Factory and related Azure services
  • Confidence documenting technical and non-functional requirements, not just business ones
  • Experience assessing legacy data environments and contributing to target-state and roadmap work
  • Strong facilitation, negotiation and written communication skills
  • Solid grounding in Agile ways of working
Nice to have
  • Exposure to Unity Catalog, data governance frameworks or platform cost optimisation
  • Prior work on cloud data migrations at enterprise scale
If you've helped take a data platform from whiteboard to delivery and enjoy being the bridge between business and engineering, we'd like to hear from you.
