Duties: Provide support on updating and quality assuring data held on the department's database, ensuring the accessibility of accurate information across the department and to internal and external stakeholders as required. Manage all aspects of property information processing including data input and validation, quality assurance, data cleansing digitisation, preparing insight reports, and working with stakeholders.
