• Lead hands-on data readiness and cleansing across ERP and corporate systems
• Initial 10-month contract + 6-month extension option
• Canberra-based position
• Must hold a Baseline security clearance

Join a major ERP transformation program focused on improving the quality and readiness of enterprise data ahead of the introduction of a new cloud-based ERP platform.

This is a hands-on data role for someone who enjoys getting into the detail. You’ll work across legacy HR, finance, procurement, travel and expense data, identifying quality issues, investigating their causes and driving practical remediation before migration to the new environment.

The Role

Working across business and technical teams, you’ll take ownership of data readiness activities across multiple legacy systems and data domains.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Extracting, profiling, analysing, cleansing and validating complex enterprise data
• Identifying and quantifying data quality issues and undertaking or coordinating practical remediation
• Developing repeatable checks, scripts and controlled cleansing procedures
• Working with system administrators, data owners and SMEs to confirm business rules and validate remediation outcomes
• Identifying potential archiving candidates and producing data quality measures, dashboards and readiness reporting

About You

We’re particularly interested in:

• Strong hands-on enterprise data analysis and data quality experience
• Practical capability across SQL, Excel, Power Query, reporting tools or comparable technologies
• Experience delivering data readiness, legacy data cleansing or preparatory work for an ERP or corporate systems transformation
• Experience identifying data quality issues and personally undertaking, automating or coordinating remediation
• Experience working with ERP, HRIS, finance, procurement, travel and expense or similar corporate data
• Strong ability to work across technical teams, business representatives, data owners and subject matter experts
• Experience assessing inactive, obsolete, redundant or superseded records for potential archiving
• Ability to manage a multi-domain data readiness workload and communicate technical findings clearly to stakeholders

Why Consider the Opportunity?

This is an opportunity to take ownership of a critical piece of a broader ERP transformation, with the quality of the legacy data directly influencing the success of the new platform.

Rather than being a purely reporting or requirements-focused Data Analyst role, you’ll stay hands-on with the data while working across multiple business domains and helping establish a clean, reliable foundation for the future ERP environment.

Senior Applied AI Engineer

Join a major digital transformation initiative focused on improving complex operational planning and scheduling.

The role sits within a small, highly collaborative product team developing an AI-enabled decision-support platform that combines operational data, mathematical optimisation and agentic AI.

A big focus initially will be working closely with Data Engineers to get the underlying data models right, before helping build optimisation and AI capabilities that allow users to interrogate complex operational information using natural language.

Key areas include:

* Data modelling and analytical workflows
* Mathematical optimisation, planning and scheduling
* AWS Bedrock and AgentCore
* Agentic AI workflows and tool integrations
* Python and production-grade software engineering
* Natural language interfaces over operational data
* Building practical, user-facing decision-support products

This is not a traditional AI Engineering role focused purely on LLM architecture or prompt engineering. The team is looking for someone who understands how optimisation models, operational data and AI can work together to solve complex planning problems.

A strong product mindset will also be important. They want someone who can challenge assumptions, ask what will genuinely create value for users, and help keep the solution aligned to the broader product vision.

Must-have experience:
* AWS Bedrock and AgentCore
* Strong data modelling experience
* Python / software engineering capability
* Experience building enterprise AI solutions
* Ability to work across data, optimisation and application engineering

Experience in optimisation, scheduling, industrial environments, mining/resources or other complex operational settings would be highly regarded.

If this sounds aligned with your background, feel free to reach out for a confidential conversation.
