• A strong commitment to data quality and governance, including data cleansing, validation and reconciliation, clear documentation, and compliance with NSW Government privacy, cybersecurity and data standards.
• Strong organisational skills and a continuous improvement mindset, with the ability to manage competing priorities, maintain analytical accuracy and rigour, and improve reporting processes to support the EPA’s strategic goals.
