Posted 9 days ago Contract Competitive

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.
