Data Manager – Drive a Major Data Transformation

📍 Sydney CBD | Full-time | Hybrid work options

Are you a hands-on Data Manager ready to shape the future of data in a leading insurance group? This is your chance to join a business on a major transformation journey — building a modern, consolidated data platform that will redefine reporting, analytics, and decision-making.

About the Company

Our client is a fast-growing insurance group with multiple specialist agencies across Australia and New Zealand. Backed by a major industry partner, they’re investing heavily in data, technology, and people to create a smarter, more connected organisation.

The Role

As Data Manager, you’ll take ownership of day-to-day data operations while leading the design and delivery of a new enterprise data platform. You’ll ensure data accuracy, consistency, and accessibility — supporting critical reporting, analytics, and business insight needs.
You’ll be both strategic and hands-on, working closely with internal teams, vendors, and business leaders to deliver real impact.

What You’ll Do
  • Lead daily data operations and ensure data accuracy and reliability.
  • Oversee data ingestion, transformation, and reporting pipelines.
  • Collaborate with solution architects and vendors to deliver a new data platform.
  • Manage data migration and integration across multiple agencies.
  • Act as the go-to expert for insurance data, reporting, and governance.
What You’ll Bring
  • Proven experience in data management within the general insurance sector.
  • Deep understanding of insurance data models (policies, claims, brokers, premiums).
  • Proficiency in SQL, ETL, Power BI, and data warehousing.
  • Familiarity with cloud data platforms (Azure/Fabric preferred).
  • Strong communication skills and a delivery-focused mindset.
  • Bachelor’s degree in a related field and 5+ years’ relevant experience.
Why You’ll Love It
  • Be at the forefront of a major data transformation.
  • Work with a collaborative, forward-thinking leadership team.
  • Balance hands-on technical work with strategic influence.
  • Competitive salary and hybrid working flexibility
