Ability to translate complex or ambiguous problems into clear, defensible, evidence-based insights that drive action.
Experience working with operational or workflow data (e.g. case management systems such as ServiceNow) and applying a system-wide performance lens.
Strong communicator who can explain technical concepts in plain language, build trusted relationships, and collaborate effectively across teams.
Applied understanding of Māori data sovereignty, including working with data in ways that respect Māori rights, interests and tikanga, and support ethical, responsible use in partnership with Māori.

Familiarity with regulatory, permissions or consenting environments
Exposure to modern data platforms and tools (e.g. DBT, Snowflake)
