Job Description

You’re curious and open to learning and finding new ways of doing things.

You're all about the detail and this role will allow you to drive evidence-based decision making to optimise systems and efficiency, not just for the business but for our customers too. It's data and research with impact you can see.

In this role, you'll:

Lead the design and delivery of data enablement solutions that make customer and mobility data accessible, secure and easy to use across the organisation. You’ll drive the adoption of modern data enablement patterns, ensuring data is available to support analytics, digital services and informed decision-making while maintaining strong governance and data quality standards.

You’ll oversee the development and optimisation of interfaces and integration frameworks, including APIs and scalable data products, enabling business teams to confidently access trusted data when they need it. Working closely with engineering, architecture and analytics teams, you’ll ensure data enablement solutions are aligned to enterprise standards and support a consistent, integrated approach to data democratisation.

Leading a team of data specialists, you’ll champion a culture of collaboration, innovation and continuous improvement, helping to modernise data capabilities and strengthen the organisation’s ability to deliver value from its data assets. Your leadership will play an important role in enabling reliable, secure and scalable access to data across the broader Transport for NSW environment.
