About the Position

A new opportunity has arisen for a full-time Data & Analytics Manager role to deliver and maintain the College's reporting capabilities, data integrations, and analytics outputs across operational and academic functions.

This is a hands-on management role that combines strong technical analytics skills with the ability to work across teams and translate business questions into clear, reliable data solutions. The role sits within the ICT team and reports to the Director of ICT.

The College is in the early stages of a multi-year migration from its legacy Student Information System (Synergetic / SQL Server) to Microsoft Dynamics 365. This will reshape the College’s data landscape, moving from traditional relational databases to Dataverse as the primary data layer. The Data & Analytics Manager will work with ICT leadership and the project team, to design and build the future-state reporting and analytics layer as part of this programme.

The successful candidate will be equally comfortable building a Power BI semantic model, writing SQL queries against legacy databases, and working with stakeholders to scope reporting requirements.

Further details about this position can be obtained by contacting Mr Dan Collins, Director of ICT at dcollins2@newington.nsw.edu.au.

About You

It would be expected that the successful candidate will have:

• Advanced Power BI skills, including semantic model design, DAX, paginated reports, row-level security, and Power BI service administration.
• Solid SQL fundamentals, with experience querying relational databases and the ability to support legacy reporting during the transition from Synergetic.
• Working knowledge of Microsoft Dataverse concepts: data modelling, entity relationships, and how Dataverse integrates with the broader Power Platform.
• Experience building and maintaining data integrations and automated workflows (e.g. Power Automate, Data Factory, or similar).
• Demonstrated ability to work across multiple business functions, translating diverse operational requirements into coherent data models and reporting outputs.
• Strong communication skills, with the ability to explain data insights and technical concepts to non-technical audiences.
• A data governance mindset — someone who instinctively thinks about data quality, naming conventions, security, documentation, and lifecycle management.
• Willingness to learn and engage with academic reporting domains (assessment, compliance, learning analytics), supported by an experienced team member.
• Understand and adhere to the College’s Child Safeguarding policies and practices.
• Contribute to the continuous improvement of Child Safeguarding at Newington.

Desirable criteria:

• Experience with Microsoft Dynamics 365 (any module) and an understanding of how Dynamics data structures relate to reporting requirements.
• Familiarity with Azure data services (Data Factory, Azure SQL, Synapse/Fabric) and modern data platform architectures.
• Experience in education, or in a similarly complex multi-departmental organisation (health, government, NFP) where analytics serves diverse operational stakeholders.
• Understanding of academic operational domains: assessment frameworks, NESA compliance, or student information systems.
• Experience with change management in a data or analytics context, particularly platform migrations.
• Familiarity with Power Query (M), Excel-based data preparation, or Crystal Reports (relevant during the Synergetic transition period).
• Interest in AI-augmented analytics tools, including Copilot in Power BI or natural language querying.
