Are you someone who looks at a spreadsheet full of financial data and immediately starts thinking about how to make it useful?

About The Role

This is a hands-on data and analytics role sitting within Finance, focused on one core question: how do we get the right insights in front of the right people, in a way they'll actually use?

You'll be building and maintaining PowerBI dashboards and reporting tools that serve a wide range of stakeholders from finance teams to commercial and operational leaders who think in outcomes, not data structures. That means understanding how non-financial people want to see information, not just how it should technically be presented.

What You'll Be Doing

• Building, validating and improving PowerBI dashboards and visualisations
• Translating business requirements into clear data and technical specifications
• Understanding and reconciling the different systems’ datasets and how these relate
• Gathering, cleansing and analysing financial data to surface meaningful insights
• Managing small projects end-to-end - from scoping through to go-live
• Identifying opportunities to improve data quality, structure and automation
• Building close working relationships with Finance and BI stakeholders

About You

We're not looking for someone who builds dashboards and hands them over. We want someone who stays curious about whether the output is actually landing.

You'll need to present data clearly to a wide range of audiences, adapting how you communicate depending on who's in the room. An Operations Manager and a Finance Director need very different things from the same dataset, knowing how to bridge that gap is core to this role.

• Tertiary qualification in a data, finance, quantitative or related field (or equivalent experience)
• 3-4 years' experience in a data analytics, BI or finance analytics role
• Strong PowerBI skills - building, validating and maintaining dashboards
• Financial data literacy - comfortable working with finance data structures and metrics
• SAP or other ERP experience is a significant advantage
• Exposure to AI integration in reporting is a bonus

Why join us

• Senior stakeholder exposure and commercial impact from day one
• Hybrid flexibility - Mascot-based, 3 days in office
• Projects that will genuinely build your capabilities
• Parental leave: 12 weeks for primary carers, 6 weeks for secondary carers
• Health and wellbeing support: BUPA discounts and an Employee Assistance Program
• Novated leasing and superannuation sessions

To apply, submit your CV and a brief cover letter. We look forward to hearing from you!
