PowerBI Developer, Business Data Reporting (2-year fixed term)

The role

This multi-faceted role contributes to the redesign of APRA’s internal and external reporting suite, as APRA continues its focus on transforming our technology and use of data.

The PowerBI developer will contribute to the design, build, and maintenance of dashboards and interactive reports which serve the data dissemination process across different data collections.

The team

Business Data Reporting sits within Business & External Data Reporting (BEDR), a team within APRA’s Chief Data Office function.

These products are leveraged internally by APRA’s supervision and risk teams to support decision making. The BEDR team is also responsible for the external dissemination of data via APRA’s formal Statistical Publication suite, which is also supported by the Data Processes team. It is expected that some initiatives will see you working in blended teams, oriented around data products or delivery streams.
