This is a role for someone who loves solving complex problems, turning ambiguity into clarity, and helping others make better decisions through data. You'll work across the business, partnering with senior leaders, engineers, product teams and stakeholders to uncover meaningful insights, build robust analytical solutions, and establish the standards that shape how advanced analytics is practised at Netwealth.

You'll join a growing Data & AI function where data is treated as a strategic asset, AI is thoughtfully governed, and advanced analytics plays a critical role in shaping the future of our products, experiences and business decisions.
