Your role at St John of God Health Care
We are looking for a commercially minded Analytics Lead to turn data into actionable insights that improve hospital funding, procurement and supply‑chain operations. You will be joining a bright, engaged and supportive team who genuinely care – about their work, each other, and the patients and communities we serve. We are collaborative, sociable and curious – always looking for better ways to visualise and communicate data so it can drive real-world value.
This is a key leadership role across our broader Data and Analytics function. You will lead a small, capable team of data scientists and analysts, helping them grow and stay focused on high-impact work. There is a strong culture of autonomy and empowerment – and your calm, pragmatic leadership will help shape how we work and how we influence across the organisation. You will need to be comfortable balancing foundational improvements in BI and reporting with more advanced modelling and innovation. That might mean anything from refining theatre utilisation metrics to developing new cost and care optimisation models.
If you enjoy variety, value purpose-driven work, and want to help shape how we use data to improve healthcare, we’d love to hear from you
The Position
- Commercial analytics strategy – Own and execute the roadmap for hospital funding, procurement and supply‑chain insights, aligned to organisational goals.
- Team leadership – Coach and develop a multidisciplinary team (data scientists, analysts) to deliver high‑quality, timely outputs.
- Stakeholder partnering – Engage executives, clinicians and supply‑chain leaders to frame problems, prioritise work and embed data‑driven decisions.
- Advanced modelling – Direct the design, build and production deployment of predictive and prescriptive models.
- Data product ownership – Oversee interactive dashboards, self‑service reporting and model monitoring to ensure sustained business value.
- Governance & quality – Champion best‑practice documentation, testing, change control and data governance.
You will have a minimum six years experience preferably within the healthcare industry in analytics or data science, including team leadership and have proven success delivering commercial value (e.g., hospital funding models, procurement analytics, supply‑chain optimisation). You will have strong hands‑on skills in Python/R and SQL; adept with Power BI or similar BI tools and working knowledge of Australian private hospital funding or procurement & supply‑chain data flows. Additionally you will have exceptional prioritisation and storytelling ability—able to manage competing demands without losing sight of people
To succeed, you will be degree qualified in Data Science, Computer Science, Statistics or other quantitative discipline.
Above all, people will be at the core of everything you do committing to and supporting our Mission and Values.
