About Analytic Insights

We are start-up that is mobilising a team of experienced practitioners to build an employment and award compliance platform for businesses owners as well as employees. There are 122 modern industry awards that set out the entitlements employees have in the workplace with respects to minimum pay, leave, superannuation, break and overtime allowances, termination and other associated entitlements. These rules shift with age, classification, seniority and hours, and they change every year. Recent reforms have raised the stakes considerably, with underpayment now attracting criminal penalties in serious cases. Our platform will take a compliance first approach so that businesses ensure that they carry out their obligations to employees.

As the Graduate Business Analyst, you will work directly with the founders and carry genuine ownership from day one. The role sits between the problem domain (award interpretation, payroll data, the operational reality of businesses) and the solution (what our development team builds). Your analysis and documentation will directly shape the product.

Key responsibilities

• Analyse and decompose modern awards and the rules within them into precise, testable pay rules. This is the foundation of the product and the core of the role.
• Prepare clear requirements and user stories for the development team, and work with them daily to support accurate, on-schedule delivery.
• Validate pay calculations against Fair Work pay guides and real payroll scenarios to confirm the platform's outputs are correct.
• Participate in customer discovery with business owners across a variety of industries as well as employees of all types and translate their feedback into product decisions.
• Document how businesses currently manage payroll and rostering across systems such as Xero, MYOB, Deputy and Tanda, to ensure our integrations reflect real workflows.
• Maintain a prioritised, well-documented product backlog to support each development sprint.

Selection criteria

Essential

• A completed degree in commerce, information systems, computer science or a related discipline. Combined business and technology backgrounds are particularly well suited to the role.
• Strong written communication. Much of the role involves converting complex, ambiguous rules into unambiguous documentation.
• Confidence working with data. Proficiency in Excel is expected and familiarity with SQL is an advantage.
• A genuine interest in the modern award system and the willingness to develop deep domain expertise in it. Prior exposure to payroll, employment law or regulatory technology is beneficial but not required.
• Early-career candidates, ideally recent graduates. We place greater weight on attitude, willingness to learn, analytical ability and initiative than on years of experience.
• The capacity to work independently and structure your own work. This is an early-stage company and the role requires self-direction.

Desirable

• Work experience in hospitality or retail, including casual employment. First-hand familiarity with rostered, award-covered work is a meaningful advantage in this role.
• Exposure to Agile delivery practices or experience working with a distributed development team.
• Prior experience with payroll, rostering or workforce management software.

What we offer

• Direct involvement at the earliest stage of a company, with regular access to the founders and real influence over product direction.
• Ownership of the domain knowledge on which the entire product depends.
• Rapid professional development across product management, regulatory compliance software delivery and business analysis disciplines.
