Plan International Australia · Australia
Join Plan International Australia as our Data & Intelligence Manager to lead the data, analytics, and knowledge capability that drives strategic impact for girls’ equality. You’ll own data governance, analytics, infrastructure, and AI integration while building a high-impact team that connects across departments to fuel evidence, influence, and investment. This is a mission-driven role at the heart of a bold new strategy to scale change for girls globally.
About the Role
You’ll report to the Associate Director, Technology, Data & AI, and lead a small, high-impact team (currently one Data Analyst) while partnering across the entire organisation. You won’t sit in a back office — you’ll sit at the joins of our flywheel — connecting fundraising, programs, finance, impact, people and external affairs through data that is trustworthy, accessible, and ready for both human and AI use.
What You Will Do
Lead PIA’s enterprise data governance — standards, stewardship, quality frameworks and classification — ensuring our data is accurate, consistent, secure and ethically managed.
Champion data quality as an organisational discipline, not just a technical task.
Deliver the analytics, dashboards and insight that underpin supporter acquisition, retention, lifetime value, financial reporting, program evidence and workforce planning.
Turn data into stories that shift decisions and create momentum.
Shape and deliver PIA’s data warehouse and integration architecture in partnership with our Lead Systems Manager and CRM product owner.
Build the pipes that connect our systems so data flows cleanly and reliably.
Own PIA’s knowledge management approach — structuring organisational information so it’s findable, well-maintained and ready for both people and AI.
Integrate AI and automation into data and intelligence practice, ensuring our data foundations are AI-ready.
Model ethical AI use across the organisation.
Lead, mentor and develop the Data Analyst with genuine investment in their growth.
Foster a collaborative, curious, service-oriented team culture.
Support onboarding of contractors and specialists for major data programs.
What We Are Looking For
Significant experience in data management, analytics, business intelligence or a related field — ideally in a not-for-profit or mission-driven context.
Experience leading data governance, data quality and reporting frameworks.
Strong technical capability across data warehousing, analytics platforms, dashboards and data integration.
Experience with CRM data (e.g. Salesforce) and supporter/fundraising analytics.
Practical understanding of AI and automation as applied to data and analytics.
Experience in knowledge management or information architecture.
People leadership experience with genuine investment in developing others.
