Business Specialist – Hubspot | Reporting | Business Improvement
Are you commercially minded, analytical, and confident turning business data into practical insights? Symbio Australia is seeking a full-time Business Specialist – Commercial Performance & Planning to help strengthen commercial decision-making, forward planning, and operational performance across our business.
Reporting to the Senior Business Specialist, you will work with Senior Leadership, Sales, Customer Service, Operations, Finance, Service, Marketing and Supply Chain.
This is an internally focused role combining commercial analysis, management reporting, forecasting, demand planning, pricing, and margin analysis, HubSpot insights and cross-functional improvement projects.
About the role
The Business Specialist will turn financial, sales, customer and operational data into meaningful commercial information that supports better decisions. You will help management understand performance, identify trends and exceptions, strengthen forecasting and planning, improve commercial visibility and coordinate agreed business-improvement initiatives.
