• Senior BI/data role

• Sector with huge variety and interest

An increase in workload and a focus from management on maximising data, has opened the opportunity for an experienced BI Systems and Data Analyst for this diverse South Auckland based service sector organisation.

We're after someone who can translate business needs into technical specifications, and design, build and deploy technical solutions.

You'll need to have the following skills:

• Strong BI experience within complex environment

• A high level of computer literacy, with advanced skills in Microsoft Excel

This client is highly regarded in their sector and is punching well above its weight in comparison to larger and more established operators in their field, and is destined to become more dominant over time.  Therefore you can be an integral part of this growth and development.

• Wellington based contract
  
• Senior Project Manager - technology delivery project
• 6 month+ term, potential for extension

We're looking for an accomplished senior level Project Manager who has strong technical skills, but also has a proven experience in delivering a technology change project that encapsulated managing a significant number of stakeholders – successfully!  You'll need to be degree qualified and you'll also need PM qualifications either as a Prince2 and MSP practitioner or higher (or equivalent).

It's likely you'll have a minimum of 10+ years direct work experience in a senior IT or other senior project management capacity, including all aspects of diligence project planning, possess exceptional attention to detail and superior interpersonal skills able to manage the complexity associated with multiple stakeholders – therefore great communication skills will be critical. Strong understanding of ITIL is critical, and you will have worked in the infrastructure (IT) space and if you have expertise in delivering on a project with Oracle Identity and Access Management that would be a bonus!

The key requirements of this role are to ensure that the projects fall within the specified tolerances of time, cost, quality, scope risk and benefit. This is a complex, complicated and challenging business environment with a wide range of business, sector specialist and "technical" stakeholders whose unique needs must be understood and catered for.  You will have general project management responsibilities including delivery of multiple work streams as part of a large portfolio of work, you will be involved in initiation and detailed planning through solution delivery to handover, you must be able to navigate a highly governed and structured environment and manage interdependencies between workstreams, projects and programmes.

You'll need strong persuasive and clear communication skills, both with the written word, as well as verbal, as the level and intelligence of stakeholders will test even the most battle-worthy!  So, this is not for the feint-hearted! The project is at initiation stage, so great for a talent PM to have input into the planning rather than inherit someone else's plan! The organisation is change ready, approval in place for the project funding and now we need a Senior Project Manage to plan, engage, drive and manage via a well-defined delivery methodology.

This client wants to ensure that the project proceeds with the least possible "challenges" and as such, excellent rate will be paid for the best available skills and the project will offer huge opportunity and influence as a senior Project Manager.

Experienced professionals who are available immediately, or coming available in the next few weeks or at short notice are encouraged to click on "apply" and follow our registration process.  Alternatively, you can contact Amanda Scott, Consulting Director 021 784483 or amanda.scott@talentnow.co.nz.

• Exciting major cornerstone project
  
• Develop key analysis components
• 12 month fixed term tenure, possibly longer

We're after an accomplished technical BA for this key project that has been underway for some time with this large and complex organisation.  And if you're an expert at what you do, then we won't need to spell out too much detail - which can be outlined more in discussion.  But as a "top-line outline", you will:

• Develop and implement appropriate methodologies, standards, templates and guidelines for analysis and implementation.
• Gathering, analyse & develop business reporting requirements for the Project.
• Define solutions that will meet those agreed requirements.
• Identify and analyse existing processes and identify those that will be retained or modified.
• Lead the consultation and analysis, design, produce, and implement new operational reports.
• Lead the migration from the existing infrastructure to the new.
• Identify risks and mitigate those risks where possible.

Because of the nature of this component of the project, you'll need to be top-notch at what you do.  So it's likely you won't have less than 5-6 years in a functional Analyst role within a large and/or complex commercial environment, and that could be either in the public or private sector.  You'll also need your experience backed up by appropriate tertiary qualifications and a track record of accomplishment with verifiable outcomes and and achievements.

Because of the complexities of this project, your technical skills will be enhanced by excellent communication skills, both verbally and written, and it's important that you can slide comfortably into an existing team structure, add value immediately, but also be prepared to learn from those already ensconced in this project.

This client is flexible how you are engaged - fixed term contract or employment - or they would even consider initially engaging for a shorter period.  One thing you can be assured of is that this is a "premium project" where your skills will be valued but the experience will be valuable - for future opportunities for you.

Interested?

If so, and you have this experience, then please send your CV and a cover letter to me by clicking on "apply" and following our registration process. If you'd like more detail, then please call Kevin Chappell on 0295 974739.

PLEASE NOTE THAT ONLY THOSE WITH RELEVANT EXPERIENCE AND/OR THE RIGHT TO WORK IN NZ, WILL BE CONSIDERED

• 6-12 month contract - but flexible term
  
• Major project with national focus
• Recent Oracle EBS experience a must!

We are looking for a resource for a BI Development role using Oracle BI tool set.  You'll be part of a significant project which is recognised as a game-changer in the sector it's involved in.  This role is based in Hamilton but is part of a national project.

The following are the skills you'll be required to have:

• Complex datawarehousing and reporting experience
• SQL and MDX languages
• UML modelling for data structures

You'll also need knowledge of current data warehousing technologies and ELT/ETL tools and have the ability to translate functional reporting requirements in to technical designs.  Your experience will include SDLC, and you'll need to be able to design and adhere to developmental standards and best practices

Ideally you'll have experience in the following technologies:

• Oracle Data Integrator and Oracle Database
• E-Business Suite R12.2 and data model
• Oracle Business Intelligence Application data warehouse data model

In addition, experience in Financial and Complex Supply Chain reporting, external warehouse integration, and security design and maintenance.

A big shopping list?  Perhaps, but if you have the predominant experience outlined above, then I'd like to hear from you.

Important (and non-negotiable) is fluency in English and that you've gained most of your experience in a comparative commerical environment to NZ and worked in a complex multi-level stakeholder environment.

This is a fantastic contract in an interesting and complex project that will definitely add value to your CV!

If this sounds like you, then don't delay and please submit your details by clicking on apply and attaching your CV and a cover letter.  You can also contact Kevin Chappell on 0295-974739 for a confidential chat about it, but please submit your details prior to calling.

• Significant supply chain technology project
  
• Initial 12 month contract with view to longer extension
• Great variety - analysis, documentation, testing, training

Primarily, responsibility in the project will be as follows:

• Analyse system interfaces with business operations
• Arrange UAT (with associated training), and then user training to the wider community.
• Analyse and manage transition, transformation and go-live activities

We're after someone who has come from a "subject matter" and systems or analytical background and can bring both the systems and practical experience to the project.  But you will need to have had experience in undertaking similar work within supply chain in a large ERP environment such as Oracle, SAP, JDE, or perhaps a bespoke system that has similar alignment.  Emphasis will be on process improvement and the people side, so whilst understanding the technical side is important, more important is your commercial and business "savviness".

You will also need excellent relationship management skills as you bring together the "wishes" of the multiple stakeholders within the project.  Because of the multiple site nature of the project, absolutely mandatory is a "self-starting and independent" style where initiative is second nature and self-management is predominant.  This cannot be emphasised enough and will be referenced through previous projects.

You may currently be working within a BA role, in a consulting environment, or in a role supporting supply chain change, and looking for a shift to a role where you can gain valuable experience and one that allows great input.

This client wants to ensure that the project progresses with the least possible "challenges" and as such, an excellent rate will be paid for the best available skills.  This is a Hamilton-based role and requires someone spending the bulk of the week in Hamilton as this is where the team is located.

This is a "game-changing" project in a sector that is evolving rapidly and as such, will offer huge opportunity to influence.  Quick start available and attractive rate on offer.

If you've got the skills, are available, coming available, or simply looking for a  change, then click on "apply" and follow our registration process.  Alternatively, you can contact Kevin Chappell on 0295-974739.
