Opteon is a leading international provider of valuations, advisory, and specialist property services across Australia, New Zealand, and the United States. As the largest valuation professional services firm in these regions, we deliver meaningful insights and solutions across all property types and market sectors.
We are entering an exciting phase of growth and transformation—driven by innovation, diversification, and international expansion. This is a unique opportunity to help shape the future of a business that is redefining how data and analytics power decision-making in property services.
We’re building a modern, global data ecosystem and this is a pivotal role within it.
As Lead Analytics Engineer, you will own the analytics consumption layer across our enterprise data platform. This is a senior, hands-on role where you’ll lead the design and delivery of dbt models in Snowflake and shape a trusted, scalable Power BI semantic layer that supports consistent, high-quality reporting across multiple regions.
Reporting to the Senior Solutions Architect, you’ll operate as a technical leader without direct reports setting standards, guiding best practice, and uplifting the capability of analysts embedded across the business.
You’ll collaborate closely with domain experts, platform engineers, and stakeholders to ensure that metrics are not just technically sound, but meaningful, trusted, and actionable in real-world use.
This is also an opportunity to influence how we responsibly adopt AI-enabled analytics and semantic models as the foundation for the next generation of business intelligence.
