Using a range of data sources relating to parliamentarians work expenses, the Senior Data Scientist will use an agile approach to design and deliver dashboards. The dashboards will:
• Provide an overview of expenses
• Identify areas of risk
• Perform risk monitoring
• Identify outliers
• Enable evidence based decision making
• Benchmark parliamentarian’s work expenses

The Senior Data Scientist will be responsible for increasing IPEA’s data capability by mentoring 1-2 IPEA staff to assist in the development of the dashboard and developing instructional material for IPEA staff.

The Senior Data Scientist will provide detailed documentation outlining how to use, maintain and extend the dashboards including all data sources and data preparation/cleansing undertaken.

The Senior Data Scientist will work onsite at IPEA using IPEA’s network and systems. IPEA would like the data scientist on-site 2 days per week (max 15 hours per week), for approximately 12 weeks.
