• Familiarity with modern data stack concepts — pipelines, warehousing, BI tooling — sufficient to ask the right questions
• Experience working in agile delivery environments with a structured approach to backlog management
• A track record of shipping products that generated measurable business value
• Comfort operating in a retail or consumer-facing organisation where customer insight is a core input to product decisions

Joining David Jones means working inside a brand that carries genuine cultural weight in Australian retail, now backed by a strategic commitment to becoming a more data-informed organisation. Our Technology team is at the heartbeat of the business, and the Data team sits close to decisions that matter. You'll find a collaborative environment where product thinking is valued and where your roadmap has real visibility with senior leadership. We offer staff discounts across our brand portfolio, flexible hybrid working arrangements, and genuine scope to grow your career as our data capability expands.

• Unique opportunity to be part of a highly engaged, successful team, focused on the transformation of an iconic Australian brand
• A competitive remuneration package including performance-based incentives
• Hybrid working arrangements in office and from home that provide appropriate work/life balance
• Parental leave policy of 18-weeks paid leave for the primary carer, and 3-weeks paid leave for the supporting partner
