About the IT Industry in New Zealand
IT and Communications is the fastest growing sector in New Zealand, consistently earning IT professionals double the income of the national average. New Zealand’s reputation for innovation and our growing international profile has attracted steady overseas investment, while the New Zealand ICT sector’s investment into research and development is by far the highest of all sectors.
The number of IT firms and employees has also shown significant annual growth country-wide. The highest concentration of IT firms and jobs is in Wellington, where Computer Systems Design makes up 3.5% of all Wellington firms, and 5.7% of Wellington’s employment. Auckland and Canterbury also have high numbers of firms and employment in this area.
Alongside technological advancements, we have seen small and large companies alike transition to digital platforms.
Almost everything can be done online now, from banking to booking a haircut. The economy is becoming increasingly digital, so even companies that are not in the IT industry require skilled professionals to keep their technology functioning and up to date, and to keep their customers happy. The demand for digital skills is high across the whole economy.
Demand for Skills in the IT Sector
As the economy continues to be digitised, job vacancies in computer system designs have become harder to fill than those in any other sector. In the latest MBIE report on the sector, employers cited that applicants with professional, technical, and computer skills were the hardest to recruit.

Love turning raw data into sharp business insights?
We are looking for a Data Analyst with a strong technical foundation in Python and SQL to join a specialist team in central Auckland.

You’ll join a team that values habitual curiosity and high-quality technical output, using analytical scripts to translate datasets into clear, actionable narratives. While there is a specialized geospatial component, the core of this role is about technical ownership, automation, and applying statistical thinking to drive business decisions. This is an ideal next step for an experienced analyst who thrives on blending mathematical rigour with creative storytelling.
You will:
Deliver High-Quality Products: Work collaboratively to support the delivery of customer data insights and geospatial analytics on time and to customer requirements.
Deep Dive into Data: Analyze datasets to identify trends and patterns using statistical methods and modeling to support critical business decisions.
Code & Automate: Use Python and SQL to assist in producing analytics outputs, with a focus on turning manual processes into scalable, automated workflows.
Visualize & Storytell: Assist in creating templated and bespoke reports, dashboards, and visualizations that turn complex data into actionable narratives.
Maintain Data Integrity: Help maintain best-practice data quality, security, and the currency of essential datasets like census and spatial data.
Collaborate Regionally: Work with internal teams to ensure analytics outputs are accurate, timely, and aligned with broader business goals.
What’s in it for you?
Collaborative Culture: Join a team that values being curious, being awesome (not average) and puts "Passion in Play".
Innovation-Led Environment: Exposure to leading-edge projects, including the building of an AI-powered analytics platform and advanced geospatial modeling.
Growth & Impact: A role where you can build deep expertise in data analytics and geospatial methods while seeing your insights drive real value.
You’ll bring:
Experience: At least 3 years in a data analysis role, preferably with exposure to customer insights or geospatial intelligence.
Technical Literacy: Proficiency in Python, SQL, and Excel, with the ability to write and maintain analytical scripts.
Mathematical Mindset: A solid understanding of statistical methodologies
Communication Skills: The ability to explain findings and recommended actions effectively to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
Education: A BSc/BA in Computer Science, Statistics, Data Management, or a related field.
Bonus points for:
Experience with Esri (ArcGIS suite) or similar mapping applications.
A proactive, problem-solving mindset and a willingness to contribute ideas to improve standard products.
