Role Title: Digital Manufacturing Supply Excellence (MSE) Analyst

Segment: Pet Nutrition

Location: Wodonga
Hours: Permanent, Full time
Reporting to: ANZ Digital Manufacturing Supply Excellence (MSE) Lead

Are you a highly technical, hands-on change champion who loves translating complex data into real-world factory-floor impact?

As a Digital MSE Analyst, you will be the on-the-ground catalyst responsible for embedding digital solutions into our daily manufacturing processes. You will bridge the gap between physical work processes and digital systems, acting as a "data translator" who partners with site teams to drive the adoption of analytics, automation, and standard workflows. Your success won't just be measured by the quality of your code and data pipelines, but by your ability to guide, coach, and uplift the analytical capabilities of our factory-floor associates and leadership.

What you’ll do

• Design, build, and deploy high-performance, site-specific dashboards and reports using Power BI, SQL, and other Mars-approved data platforms.
• Act as a local site consultant, deeply analysing physical work processes to translate raw reporting requests into clean, highly intuitive, and standardized visual tools.
• Challenge the status quo when requested reports do not solve underlying business problems. Advise users on effective layouts, formats, and visual storytelling.
• Clean, model, and govern site-level relational databases to protect and establish a single source of truth for manufacturing performance.
• Partner with the ANZ Digital MSE Product Lead and central Digital Technology teams to ensure secure data pipelines flow seamlessly from shop floor hardware into local databases.
• Lead shop-floor discovery sessions to audit, debug, and resolve data anomalies, building high trust in automated metrics among operators and leadership.
• Coach operational, reliability, and leadership teams to transition from viewing raw figures to extracting actionable insights.
• Actively guide site teams through technology and process changes
• Serve as the on-site point of contact for end-user digital issues, feeding feedback to the ANZ Digital Product Lead to drive continuous improvement.
• Ensure consistency of process and tools across our Pet Nutrition sites
• Ensure critical digital infrastructure supporting daily connection points remains functionally robust.
• Build and sustain analytical back-end models tracking Compelling Business Need (CBN) metrics, mapping rework, downtime, and operational deviations to fuel productive shift conversations.

Your unique ingredients

• Bachelor’s degree in Data Analytics, Information Technology, Computer Science, Engineering, or a highly quantitative business discipline (or equivalent practical experience).
• 3–5 years of experience in data analytics, business intelligence, or analytics engineering. Experience in FMCG, supply chain, or heavy industrial manufacturing is highly preferred.
• Proven track record designing, building, and deploying production-grade, enterprise-scale Power BI suites (advanced DAX, Power Query, and star-schema modelling).
• Hands-on experience building automated data ingestion workflows (ETL/ELT) using SQL, relational databases (Postgres), and modern data platforms (Microsoft Fabric is highly desirable).
• Experience leveraging low-code solutions (Microsoft Power Platform: Power Automate, Power Apps, or Weever) to streamline manual data entry and capture shopfloor feedback.
• Proven experience guiding teams through technology or process changes
• Awareness of Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) or Mars Tactical Efficiency (MSE) methodologies is highly regarded.
