Data Platform Transition, Reporting Continuity & Enterprise Data Dictionary
Initial 12 Month Fixed-Term Contract
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.
At Kinetic, we don't just move people - we're creating the positive change our planet needs. As a leader in sustainable transport, we're committed to creating cleaner, safer, and greener environments for generations to come.
Our size and scale give our people real opportunities to learn, grow, and progress in their careers. Calm, positive and respectful team players thrive here. Our people embrace change and are encouraged to stretch their comfort zone while making a difference. We challenge each other to be our best.
We're driven by respect, diversity and genuine connection. From networking groups to community partnerships and volunteering, our camaraderie naturally brings people together. Our energy and dedication keep communities moving and our people growing.
Kinetic is proud to be an Equal Opportunity Employer and our people represent the community which we service. We invite all suitably qualified applicants to apply, including First Nations People, and people from diverse social, cultural and gender backgrounds.

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.
