About US:

Just Reinvest NSW (JRNSW) is an Aboriginal-led organisation dedicated to reducing the over-representation of Aboriginal people in the criminal justice system. We advocate for justice reinvestment: redirecting resources from punitive criminal justice systems toward community-led initiatives that address root causes. Our work is grounded in collaboration with Aboriginal communities, ensuring solutions are driven by local priorities and cultural knowledge. By fostering opportunities for systemic change, we aim to create safer and more empowered communities across NSW.

the Role:

Reporting to the CEO, you will manage a small team to undertake research and develop data function and capabilities, and oversee our newly launched JR Data Hub. Your insights will guide evidence-based decision making, along with collaboration with our stakeholders in communities to understand the context of both place and community. We facilitate both virtual and in person connections, so a small amount of regional travel is required to meet with community to build relationships and see how things work on the ground.

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

• It’s essential that you know your way around data management, research and analysis, and tools such as SQL, R, Python and PowerBI.
• A solid 3-5 years’ experience is required to be successful in this role.
• You bring tertiary qualifications in statistics, data science, public health, social sciences, or a related field.
• Ideally you’ll bring working knowledge of the criminal justice system and its impacts on Indigenous Peoples, but other relevant experience in social justice or community development would also be valuable.
• You’re confident managing and developing your team - some who are new to the data space - who are based in Redfern as well as in our community sites.
• Cross-cultural communication skills and cultural sensitivities are a must for our organisation.

WHY JOIN US?

• Be part of a pioneering organisation driving systemic change to reduce incarceration rates of Aboriginal communities.
• Attractive salary, with salary packaging options to increase your take-home pay
• Relaxed and friendly office in leafy Redfern, with great local cafes and lunch spots.
• Work 4 days part-time, hybrid.
• Parental leave backfill until September 2025, with potential for extension.
