Job Description

Data Architect

Data Platform Transition, Reporting Continuity & Enterprise Data Dictionary

Initial 12 Month Fixed-Term Contract

About the Role

As Kinetic introduces new ANZ enterprise systems and progressively replaces legacy solutions, we need a Data Architect who can help guide the transition of our reporting and data landscape. This role will support the move from fragmented legacy reporting to a more governed, rationalised and scalable reporting model.

You will help assess current reports, define future reporting patterns, support Day 1 reporting continuity, and establish an Enterprise Data Dictionary that provides clear and consistent data definitions across the organisation.

This is not a pure strategy role and it is not a lift-and-shift reporting role. You will help determine which reports should move to native platform reporting, which require data platform support, which should be retained for historical or cross-system reporting, and which should be retired or revalidated.

You will work closely with enterprise architecture, solution architecture, integration, data, reporting, business SMEs, project teams and vendors to define practical data architecture outcomes that support the Kinetic Transformation program and broader ANZ platform transition.

What You Will Do

  • Define the ANZ data platform transition approach.
  • Support reporting continuity for Our Tools go-lives.
  • Assess current reports and determine future reporting disposition.
  • Establish and maintain the Enterprise Data Dictionary.
  • Define common data entities, attributes, owners and business definitions.
  • Create conceptual, logical and physical data models.
  • Develop source-to-target mappings and data lineage documentation.
  • Support Power BI, Fabric, PBIRS and SQL reporting patterns.
  • Work with business SMEs to clarify reporting and data requirements.
  • Support data governance, metadata, quality, access and security controls.
  • Produce architecture artefacts for DAB, TAB and delivery teams.

What You Will Need

  • Strong data architecture and reporting architecture experience.
  • Experience with Microsoft Fabric, Power BI, PBIRS, SQL or Azure data services.
  • Strong data modelling and semantic modelling skills.
  • Experience creating data dictionaries, business glossaries or metadata artefacts.
  • Experience working across complex enterprise systems and transformation programs.
  • Ability to assess legacy reports and define whether they should be rebuilt, replaced, retained or retired.
  • Strong understanding of data governance, data quality, metadata and lineage.
  • Strong stakeholder engagement and communication skills.
  • A practical delivery mindset with the ability to balance architecture direction and business continuity.

About Kinetic

Established over 45 years ago, Kinetic has grown to become the largest bus operator in Australia and New Zealand, and a global, multi-modal transport network with operations that span across the UK, Europe and Singapore.

We began in 1978 with Melbourne’s Skybus – a cost efficient, reliable airport transfer service. Today, we manage a global network of bus and rail services, with a team of 36,000 dedicated people and 11,000 buses seamlessly moving over 100 million passengers every year.

We’re the trusted operator of urban, regional, school and charter bus services across Australia and New Zealand. We operate 40 per cent of buses in Queensland, a third of Melbourne’s bus network, and almost half of bus services in Tasmania. In NZ, we’re proud to partner with councils in Auckland, Christchurch, Wellington and Tauranga.

Our expertise spans continents, operating in five countries across Europe. In the UK, we run the Go Ahead network – alongside joint venture partner Globalvia – which includes the Govia Thameslink rail link, the largest and most complex rail system in the country.

We believe in improving the communities in which we live and operate, and making a positive impact on people’s lives.

We’re removing the diesel buses that emit millions of tons of greenhouse gases every year. We’re putting women up front. And we believe in LGBTQI+ inclusion and the freedom to be your true self.

Governments, airports, businesses, schools and councils count on us every day. You too, can count on Kinetic.
