Data Scientist/Analyst - Graduate Role

Job Description

We're hiring a graduate data scientist to join a small, high-performing team to accelerate analytics on a tier one portfolio across Australia's independent grocery channel. This is a 4-day role — deliberately designed to match the workload, not squeezed from 5. The fifth day is yours — extend your studies, invest in your own development and/or enjoy the work/life balance. 

What You'll Do 

You'll be paired with a senior account manager and work across the same categories they own. Your role has two sides: 

Drive the Analytics

• Produce monthly Promo ROI analysis — actual vs. expected, baseline impact, rate of sale
• Run pre-promo analysis: expected uplift, margin impact, cannibalisation risk
• Support range reviews with scan performance data (Circana/IRI)
• Prepare field briefing materials and cycle priorities
• Build dashboards and automated reporting — if you can see a better way to present the data, build it

What We're Looking For

• Recent graduate — data science, analytics, commerce, economics, or quantitative discipline
• Strong Excel skills and genuine curiosity about data — Python, Power BI, SQL, or similar is a bonus, not a requirement
• Interest in how data drives commercial decisions — not just modelling in isolation
• Commercially curious — you want to understand why an investment worked, not just that it did or didn’t
• Self-driven — you manage your workload with discipline and minimal supervision
• Clear communicator — you can translate data into a story that a buyer or a sales rep can act on

Why TCCD?

• 4-day week — structured to match the workload, not compressed from 5. The fifth day is yours
• $80,000 package inclusive of superannuation
• Tier-1 brands — world-class commercial development and credibility on your CV from day one
• Flat structure — direct access to the CEO, NBM, and senior leadership. Your ideas are heard, your contributions are visible, your impact is measurable
• Mentoring, not managing — leadership with 100+ years of combined FMCG experience is accessible and invested in your growth. You won't be left to figure it out alone
• Real commercial ownership —genuine analytics, not just reports. You will sit in buyer meetings, present data, and defend recommendations
• Data science runway — you'll work with Circana/IRI scan data, promotional ROI models, and real commercial datasets. If you want to build predictive models, automate reporting, or develop dashboards — bring it. We'll back you
• PURPLE values — Partnership, Unity, Results, Positivity, Laughter, Excellence. These aren't on a poster — they're in our quarterly awards, our daily conversations, and the way we work
• Walsh Bay offices — daily barista, breakfast, and end-of-trip facilities
• Career progression — exposure and development through skill development and experiences

Who This Role Suits

This role is designed for a graduate who wants more than a grad program:

• A data science or analytics graduate who wants to apply their skills to real commercial problems
• A commerce graduate who is curious about data and wants to build analytical skills alongside commercial experience
• A postgrad student who wants real ownership and a day to continue their studies
• Someone who wants to learn FMCG from the inside — promotional mechanics, trade spend, buyer negotiations, category management — with data as their lens
• Someone who values autonomy, ownership, and direct access to leadership over a big-company grad program

How to Apply 

Include your CV and a brief note on why this role suits you. We're looking for the right person, not just the right CV. 

TCCD — Real ownership. Real Relationships.  A team that wins together.
