Introduction
The Data Analytics & Intelligence Analyst at the Greyhound Welfare and Integrity Commission is an ongoing Sydney role where analysis directly supports investigations, compliance work and regulatory decisions. It suits someone who can make sense of information from several sources, notice emerging risks or associations, and turn that work into concise products that operational and executive audiences can use.
This guide walks through how to apply for Data Analytics & Intelligence Analyst. The application needs a cover letter and current CV, so your written evidence needs to show more than familiarity with data tools. It needs to demonstrate sound judgement, careful handling of sensitive information and a clear link between your analysis and the action it informed.
The strongest application will make your judgement visible. Give the panel a specific example of how you collected, tested and interpreted information, then communicated a defensible finding to people who needed to act on it. View the official job ad before you submit.

Application requirements
The main written task is straightforward, but the evidence inside it matters. Make each document easy to assess and use the same language as the work you have actually done.
