The role / impact:
As a Data Analyst supporting our Customer Experience and Payment Operations teams, you’ll turn raw data into decisions that matter, from monthly business reviews to headcount planning. Payment Operations doesn’t currently have dedicated analytics support, so you’ll start by building that foundation before broadening out to cover both departments.
Your analysis feeds straight into conversations with senior leaders: helping shape service level agreements, informing performance reviews, and guiding decisions on where the team invests its time and people. Accuracy counts here, since your numbers influence bonus and resourcing decisions across two departments.
The team & how they connect
You’ll sit within the workforce team, working alongside a Workforce Analyst who focuses on real time scheduling and short term forecasting while you take on deeper reporting and strategic analysis. Together you support Customer Experience and Payment Operations leaders across New Zealand, the US and the UK. It’s a genuinely connected team: even across time zones, everyone leans on each other’s data to make faster, better decisions.
Initially, the role may focus on:
Tools like Tableau and Zendesk Explore for reporting, forecasting and performance analysis
Monthly business reviews and quarterly proficiency scoring to support performance and salary reviews
Building out dedicated reporting support for Payment Operations from the ground up
Longer term headcount and workforce planning models as the business scales
Where and how you can work
This role is based in New Zealand, working in a hybrid pattern that blends time in the office with time at home. Your first 60 days will run on an earlier start to overlap with our US colleagues while you onboard, moving to standard hours once you’re settled in. Boost days bring the team together in person throughout the year to connect, collaborate and celebrate.
Here are some of the things we’re looking for, for this role:
You’ll bring sharp analytical skills and comfort working across data from more than one department.
Confidence with reporting tools such as Tableau and Zendesk Explore.
Executive presence, since you’ll regularly present findings to senior leaders and the C-suite.
A solutions focused mindset, able to bring stakeholders along on data driven recommendations, even when they’re new to the detail.
Precision and care with numbers, given how directly your reporting shapes bonus and resourcing decisions.
A collaborative approach, comfortable supporting more than one department at once.
Apply even if your experience isn’t a perfect match! At Xero, we hire based on your skills, passion, and the unique perspective you can bring to enhance our culture and team.
