Role Overview

This Finance Business Partner role supports the Activity Management team by providing financial analysis, governance and decision support to optimise commercial investment and drive profitable growth. Reporting to the Head of FP&A; and Category Finance, you'll act as a critical financial and analytical hub connecting Finance, Marketing, Sales & Strategic Revenue Management ensuring financial robustness around recent product development and brand strategy.

Key Responsibilities

- Act as finance business partner for your respective brand, supporting brand strategy and delivery against operational and long-range plans

- Develop strategic partnerships with the portfolio team, understanding the competitive landscape and uncovering growth opportunities

- Partner with Strategic Revenue Management to roll out ROI models and best practices evaluating promotional activity and pricing strategy

- Drive portfolio mix decisions in line with business strategy

- Lead projects that improve business processes, partnering on major launches, portfolio changes and post-launch reviews

- Establish and drive digital tools, reporting and a value-creation mindset within the local sales/channel organisation

- Support ad-hoc brand activities through financial evaluation and recommendations

- Use market data to run size-of-the-prize simulations for new product launches

Why This Role Stands Out





- Genuine seat at the table on brand strategy and new product development, not just BAU reporting

- Broad cross-functional exposure across Finance, Marketing, Sales and Strategic Revenue Management

- Opportunity to work with modern digital and AI-driven tools to accelerate insight generation

- Still a genuinely family-oriented culture despite its global scale, with strong work-life balance

- Attractive benefits including novated leasing, superannuation co-contribution matching, and discounted gym membership

- Hybrid working arrangements (3 days office, 2 days from home)

Ideal Candidate

You're an emerging finance professional with strong analytical capability and a genuine interest in commercial and brand partnering. Category or trade finance experience isn't essential, it's something you can build here. You have a solid finance foundation and an understanding of how sales, pricing and cost structures interrelate will set you up well. You're a confident communicator who can translate financial detail into a story that lands with non-finance stakeholders.

Key Requirements

- Bachelor's degree in Finance or a related field

- CPA/CA or equivalent highly advantageous

- 1-3 years' experience in accounting, finance or audit environments

- Experience within FMCG, Manufacturing, Retail or a Big4 background is advantageous

- Strong analytical and insights capability

- Excellent communication skills, comfortable presenting financial insight to non-finance audiences
