Data Analyst

Company Description

Are you ready to be a big part of something big? 

At carsales, we're all about making buying and selling a great experience. For 25 years we’ve been evolving with the new economy to help people choose how they move today and tomorrow. 

When it comes to your career, we want to provide big opportunities to help you make a big impact. But for this to be possible, we strive to feel small. Small enough to quickly change tack, small enough to learn from different departments and small enough to connect authentically with leadership. 

Not something you’d expect from one of the country’s biggest tech companies, is it? 

And one of the best parts? We give you the autonomy to choose the working location that best suits your lifestyle – Office, Hybrid or Anywhere. 

What’s on offer: 

• A place where you can move your career forward, where you’ll be continuously backed to make new ideas happen, and the chance to do work that makes real, significant impact in the world. 

• We’re a certified Great Place to Work, Family Friendly Workplace and WGEA Employer of Choice. 

• The support of a highly engaged, high-performing team including a leadership team that’s you’ll actually have face time with. 

• 18 weeks paid parental leave for primary caregivers, four weeks paid secondary caregivers leave, six weeks paid gender transition leave. 

Job Description

What you’ll do

Placie is Australia’s first app that helps customers combine, compare, and book taxis, rideshare, and public transport. It’s so much more than a regular journey planner; Placie is a one stop (mobility) shop for consumers to save time, money and effort, using real time data for on-demand and scheduling multi modal journeys via one account. Placie has established best-in-class transport relationships with private transport providers including taxi, rideshare, car rental, private buses and parking operators as well as public transport networks. Placie is part of carsales.com

We are looking for a Data Analyst to join Placie and be an energetic agitator who gets a real kick out of kicking business goals!  You will be an integral part of the team helping the business turn raw data into insightful information, which will help make pivotal business decisions. You will be working closely with the Marketing and Development teams.

• Supporting our stakeholders by working with them to understand the problems that they're facing and what data we can provide to help to solve them.
• Share expertise in writing SQL queries to manipulate and extract meaning from our sometimes-complex data sources
• Develop and support solutions that deliver new dashboards and self-service insights solutions
• Demonstrate understanding, motivations and expertise in collaborating with our colleagues in the data engineering team to ensure that everything that’s needed for reporting is available

Qualifications

What are we looking for? 

• Demonstrated inclusive and interpersonal attributes that connect you to our behaviours (we change the game, we own it, we step in, we are curious, we don’t take ourselves too seriously)
• Understand and share expertise in SQL skills. Which variant you have experience with isn't important, but you should be comfortable writing complex queries that bring data together across multiple tables.
• Develop and support solutions that deliver technical solutions and business outcomes with non-analyst stakeholders to understand the problems that they’re facing and coming up with ways to use data to help solve them.
• Demonstrate understanding and motivations to work closely with technical and non-technical stakeholders alike
• Preferred experience in Tableau and Google Analytics would be valued.
• An understanding of Big Data Processing with Spark highly valued.
