This is not your typical data role.
At the Cowboys Community Foundation, data is more than dashboards and reporting — it is about understanding impact, informing better practice, strengthening programs and helping create better futures for young people, families and communities across North Queensland.
As the charitable arm of the Cowboys Group, the Cowboys Community Foundation delivers a broad range of community programs and initiatives focused on education, wellbeing, employment pathways and community impact. From NRL Cowboys House through to grassroots community programs and fundraising initiatives, our work creates real and lasting change across the region.
We are looking for an exceptional Data & Insights Officer to lead and help drive the next phase of our impact, evaluation and insights capability across the organisation.
This is an exciting opportunity for someone who wants to take some ownership of this space for the Charity, bring fresh thinking and innovation and help shape how we use data to inform strategy, demonstrate impact and continuously improve the work we do.
If you are passionate about using data and insights for purpose-driven outcomes — and want your work to genuinely matter — this could be the role for you.
About the role
Working across our programs, fundraising and leadership teams, you will help transform data into meaningful insights that support evidence-based decision making and strengthen organisational impact.
You will play a key role in building and evolving our reporting and insights capability, helping establish scalable systems, frameworks and processes that support both operational and strategic outcomes.
This is more than a reporting role — it is an opportunity to help drive and shape the Foundation’s data and impact journey.

- Helping develop KPI frameworks and reporting systems
