Overview of the Role

IER Pty Ltd is seeking a well-rounded Data Analyst to support the analysis and evaluation of major events across Australia. This hybrid role blends analytical rigour with consultative thinking, ideal for someone who enjoys working with data, building models in Excel, and interpreting results to inform strategy.

You’ll play a key role in maintaining and improving our Excel-based economic impact models, while also contributing to event evaluation deliverables that influence government, tourism, and sporting bodies. Just as important as technical capability is your ability to work with internal teams, understand business questions, and help translate data into meaningful insights.

This position is suited to a capable analyst with 2–5 years’ experience looking to step into a consultative role that balances hands-on modelling with stakeholder-focused interpretation.

Key Responsibilities

Operate and enhance economic impact models in Excel, ensuring accuracy and efficiency.

Identify opportunities to simplify and improve spreadsheet workflows using macros/VBA.

Support the preparation and interpretation of event evaluation reports for clients.

Collaborate with research leads and senior analysts to understand project goals and translate them into analytical outputs.

Assist in managing and preparing survey and secondary data sources for analysis.

Create data summaries, visualisations, and commentaries that bring clarity to clients’ decision-making.

Contribute to internal workshops and planning sessions around modelling and research strategy.

Skills & Experience

A degree in Economics, Data Science, Business, Statistics or a related field.

2–5 years of professional experience in data analysis or modelling.

High proficiency in Excel, including experience with multi-sheet models and automation (macros/VBA).

Strong analytical and quantitative skills, with sound judgement around data interpretation.

Effective communication skills for discussing results with internal teams and senior stakeholders.

Ability to work independently while managing multiple tasks and timelines.

Experience with survey data or event evaluation is highly regarded.
