About Megaport

We’re not your typical tech company – and we don’t want to be. Megaport is the global leader in Network as a Service (NaaS), and has transformed the way businesses connect to the cloud, data centers, and each other. We’re publicly listed on the Australian Stock Exchange and partnered with the biggest names in tech like Amazon, Microsoft, Google, Oracle, IBM, and more. Headquartered in Brisbane with a crew of over 600 people spread across Asia-Pacific, Europe, and the Americas, our employees enjoy an environment that is collaborative, supportive, and (actually) fun.

Our Team Culture

We’re a team of problem solvers, pixel pushers, code slingers, and cloud fanatics. Culture is more than a poster on the wall here – collaboration beats hierarchy, curiosity fuels our growth, and everyone’s voice matters. We take our work seriously, but not ourselves. We work across time zones to execute on our global vision, trust each other to get things done, and never compromise our values for commercial gain. Most importantly, we place our customers at the center of everything we do.

We’re committed to increasing representation in the tech industry and welcome applicants from all backgrounds. Don’t meet every requirement? That’s okay. If you’re excited about this role, we encourage you to apply.

Develop and maintain SQL views and finance-specific models in the curated (reporting) layer that feed TM1 and Power BI.

Validate new and changed datasets before they are used for reporting, and monitor the ongoing completeness and timeliness of finance data.

Define access requirements for sensitive finance data and work with the Data team to apply them through Unity Catalog.

Own the flow of finance data between source systems, Databricks, TM1 and Power BI, ensuring a consistent, single source of truth.

Design and maintain reconciliation and data quality checks so that reported and planning data ties back to the general ledger and source systems.

Maintain finance master data and mappings, including chart of accounts, entities, cost centres, products and other reporting hierarchies, across platforms.

Investigate and resolve data discrepancies, working with system owners and Finance users.
