Working with the AA | Me mahi tahi tatou ki AA

For over 120 years the AA have been helping Kiwis on their adventures! Today, we're one of New Zealand's most respected and trusted brands. From our humble beginnings as a motoring enthusiast's club, the New Zealand AA (Automobile Association) has grown into a large, dynamic organisation offering many services and products to more than a million Members.  

And now, we’re building the organisation of the future – more connected, modern, and purpose-driven. We are a business in transformation, with opportunities to work cross-functionally, grow new skills, and make a meaningful impact. We’re investing in our people, platforms, and ways of working to stay ahead of what our Members and customers need.

What You'll Be Doing | Mō te Tūranga

As our Senior Data Modeller, you’ll lead the design of AA’s enterprise data models across multiple domains, helping to shape the foundations of our new data warehouse and platform.

You’ll help make AA’s data consistent, trusted and reusable across domains such as membership, motoring, insurance and finance

In this role you will:

• Design conceptual, logical and physical models across membership, motoring, insurance, finance and other core domains.
• Act as the subject matter expert for data modelling standards and best practice. Mentor to various levels of detail all those who are working with Data Models.
• Define conformed dimensions, canonical definitions and shared reference/master data.
• Work with data engineers to implement models through ELT/ETL pipelines using Snowflake and dbt.
• Support data quality, metadata, lineage and model governance processes.
• Partner with architects and stakeholders to ensure alignment across solution designs and business requirements.
