Elevate your career at Qodea, where innovation isn't just a buzzword, it's in our DNA.

We are a global technology group built for what's next, offering high calibre professionals the platform for high stakes work, the kind of work that defines an entire career. When you join us, you're not just taking on projects, you're solving problems that don't even have answers yet.

Forget routine consultancy. You will operate where technology, design, and human behaviour meet to deliver tangible outcomes, fast. This is work that leaves a mark, work you’ll be proud to tell your friends about.



Qodea is built for what’s next. An environment where your skills will evolve at the frontier of innovation and AI, ensuring continuous growth and development.



We are looking for a Data Analyst to join our Professional Services team for a 6 months contract. The role will include client-facing stakeholder engagement to capture and validate requirements and translate them into a technical interpretation that can be consumed by the Engineering team.

We look for people who embody:

Innovation to solve the hardest problems.

‍Accountability for every result.

‍Integrity always.

About The Role

• Define and Document Data Migrations: Clearly outline and document source-to-target mappings to support the migration of legacy data pipelines. This mapping must include precise definitions for data format and transformation rules for both incoming and outgoing data.
• Requirements Elicitation: Proactively liaise with client Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) to capture, validate, and document functional and non-functional requirements.
• Contribute to Project Sprints: Actively participate in backlog refinement meetings to clearly define and refine Jira tickets with the wider project teams.
• Communicate Progress: Deliver concise progress updates in daily stand-ups and present summary updates to both internal and external stakeholders in sprint reviews.
• Drive Continuous Improvement: Participate in sprint retrospective meetings to support team learning and continuous improvement processes.

This role is designed for impact, and we believe our best work happens when we connect. While we operate a flexible model, we expect you to spend time on site (at our offices or a client location) for collaboration sessions, customer meetings, and internal workshops.

Requirements

What Success Looks Like

• Data Structure Knowledge: A good understanding of nested data structures such as JSON, XML, and nested BigQuery tables.
• Technical Proficiency: Basic to intermediate understanding of SQL and data visualisation concepts.
• Requirement Translation: Demonstrable experience successfully capturing requirements from operational stakeholders and translating them into a technical format that can be directly consumed by an Engineering team.
• Autonomy and Proactiveness: Evidence of being a self-starter, comfortable working independently and proactively identifying, highlighting, and addressing any potential issues that could impact delivery timelines.
