About the role

Join the Decision Support & Insights (DSI) team and help shape how St Vincent's Health Network Sydney uses data to drive clinical, operational and strategic decision-making. As our Business Analyst, you will:

• Deliver Analytical Solutions: Design and build dashboards, ad hoc analyses and reports using Power BI that translate complex healthcare data into decision-ready insights for clinical and executive audiences.

• Drive Automation & Innovation: Identify and implement opportunities to automate processes using Power Automate and AI-assisted approaches.

• Bridge Business and Data: Elicit requirements from clinical, operational and corporate stakeholders, document business processes and translate needs into fit-for-purpose analytical and technical solutions.

• Impact Patient Care: Support priority projects and business cases where analytical outputs directly shape patient care, clinical quality and service improvement.

• Strengthen Data Culture: Build analytical capability across the Network through end-user training, documentation and knowledge-sharing as the organisation prepares for a major digital transformation.

About you

You're a practical problem-solver with strong technical foundations who can move confidently between stakeholder conversations and hands-on analytical work. To succeed in this role, you'll bring:

• Formal qualifications in business analysis, information systems, data science, health informatics, statistics or a related discipline — or equivalent demonstrated experience in an analytical role.

• Demonstrated experience performing data analysis and ETL processes using tools such as Excel, SQL, Python or R, with the ability to work across complex datasets — ideally in a healthcare context.

• High proficiency in Power BI and DAX, with experience designing reproducible, well-documented dashboards and analytical products that support evidence-informed decision-making.

• Proven ability to elicit business requirements, translate them into functional specifications, and deliver solutions end-to-end — including testing, documentation and stakeholder training across concurrent priorities.

• A self-directed learner who can pick up unfamiliar tools, datasets and domain knowledge rapidly, and shift comfortably between project work and urgent ad hoc requests as priorities shift.
