About the Opportunity

At ECU, we’re committed to creating an inclusive, innovative, and high-performing workplace where people thrive. We’re looking for a detail-driven and analytical professional to join our People & Culture team as an HR Reward, Reporting and Data Analyst .

About the Role

This role is central to ECU’s commitment to transparency, compliance, and evidence-based decision-making. You will lead the preparation and submission of all external legislative reports, ensuring ECU meets its statutory obligations with accuracy and integrity.
