Their responsibilities typically include collecting, entering, cleaning, and maintaining data to ensure its accuracy and accessibility. They often work with spreadsheets, databases, and specialized software to organize and analyze information, making it easier for teams to make data-driven decisions. Data Assistants may also help prepare reports and collaborate with other departments to support research or business operations.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a data assistant, and why are they important?

To excel as a Data Assistant, you need strong attention to detail, proficiency in data entry, and a basic understanding of data management principles, often supported by a high school diploma or equivalent. Familiarity with spreadsheet software such as Microsoft Excel, database platforms, and data visualization tools is typically required. Excellent organizational skills, reliability, and effective communication set top performers apart in this role. These abilities are vital for ensuring data accuracy, supporting efficient workflows, and facilitating informed decision-making within organizations.

What are some common challenges data assistants face when managing large datasets, and how can they overcome them?

Data Assistants often encounter challenges such as data inconsistencies, missing information, and time-consuming data entry tasks when handling large datasets. To overcome these issues, it’s important to develop strong attention to detail, utilize data validation tools, and follow established data management protocols. Collaborating closely with data analysts and IT teams can also help identify and resolve data quality problems more efficiently, ensuring that the information remains accurate and reliable for stakeholders.

Job description

About the Opportunity

We're looking for a Master Data Assistant to join our team at our Heatherton Support Office.

This role is ideal for someone who enjoys working with data, has a keen eye for detail, and takes pride in getting things right the first time. You'll be responsible for maintaining product & pricing information across multiple systems, supporting our merchandising and retail teams.

While there is a strong data entry component, we're looking for someone who uses common sense, asks questions when something doesn't look right, and thinks beyond simply keying in information.

This role could suit someone with experience in administration, data entry, pricing, inventory, retail support, category assistant support or product administration who enjoys working in a fast-paced environment and is keen to learn.

We offer a hybrid working environment, with 3 days in the office and 2 days working from home after the initial training period. Please note, training will be completed on-site, requiring 5 days per week in the office.

What You'll Be Doing

  • Enter and maintain product & pricing information across multiple systems
  • Create new products and update existing product records
  • Process pricing changes and product information updates accurately and on time
  • Review data for errors, inconsistencies and missing information
  • Follow up with stakeholders when information doesn't look right
  • Respond to requests from a shared inbox
  • Action exception reports to rectify errors in data
  • Work with spreadsheets and reports to upload and validate information
  • Support the team with data-related administrative tasks

You're Likely a Match If You Have

  • Previous experience in administration, data entry, pricing, inventory or product maintenance
  • Strong attention to detail and a high level of accuracy
  • Good Excel skills, including VLOOKUP
  • Confidence working across multiple systems at the same time
  • The ability to work efficiently in a fast-paced environment
  • A willingness to learn and ask questions
  • A practical, common-sense approach to problem solving
  • A positive attitude and willingness to help wherever needed

What's on offer

We're proud to offer a workplace that supports your well-being, growth, and belonging:
Extra Leave: Enjoy a 5th week of annual leave, 2 well-being days, plus 1 volunteer day annually
Career Growth: Endless learning and development opportunities
Parental Leave: 12 weeks of gender-neutral paid leave for primary carers
Inclusive Culture: Bronze Employer for LGBTQ Inclusion
Neutral Pay Gap: Gender pay gap under 5% (WGEA 2024-2025)
Mental Health: Gold accreditation by Mental Health Australia
Flexibility: Flex Ready and Family Friendly Workplace accredited
