Job Description

TCCD is a privately owned, family-founded business built to be the leading independent grocery sales growth partner in Australia. We're not a corporate. We're not a multinational. We're a family-owned business with family values — where people know each other by name, leadership is accessible, and decisions are made quickly by people who care about the outcome.

We've been recognised with six Supplier of the Year awards across Metcash, Foodland, and Ritchies. We manage a $40M+ national portfolio of world-class tier one brands. Our leadership team brings over 100 years of combined FMCG experience — and in a flat structure, you don't just report to them, you learn from them.

We're hiring a graduate data scientist to join a small, high-performing team to accelerate analytics on a tier one portfolio across Australia's independent grocery channel. This is a 4-day role — deliberately designed to match the workload, not squeezed from 5. The fifth day is yours — extend your studies, invest in your own development and/or enjoy the work/life balance.

What You'll Do

You'll be paired with a senior account manager and work across the same categories they own. Your role has two sides:

Drive the Analytics

• Produce monthly Promo ROI analysis — actual vs. expected, baseline impact, rate of sale
• Run pre-promo analysis: expected uplift, margin impact, cannibalisation risk
• Support range reviews with scan performance data (Circana/IRI)
• Prepare field briefing materials and cycle priorities
• Build dashboards and automated reporting — if you can see a better way to present the data, build it

What We're Looking For

• Recent graduate — data science, analytics, commerce, economics, or quantitative discipline
• Strong Excel skills and genuine curiosity about data — Python, Power BI, SQL, or similar is a bonus, not a requirement
• Interest in how data drives commercial decisions — not just modelling in isolation
• Commercially curious — you want to understand why an investment worked, not just that it did or didn’t
• Self-driven — you manage your workload with discipline and minimal supervision
• Clear communicator — you can translate data into a story that a buyer or a sales rep can act on

Why TCCD?

• 4-day week — structured to match the workload, not compressed from 5. The fifth day is yours
• $80,000 package inclusive of superannuation
• Tier-1 brands — world-class commercial development and credibility on your CV from day one
• Flat structure — direct access to the CEO, NBM, and senior leadership. Your ideas are heard, your contributions are visible, your impact is measurable
• Mentoring, not managing — leadership with 100+ years of combined FMCG experience is accessible and invested in your growth. You won't be left to figure it out alone
• Real commercial ownership —genuine analytics, not just reports. You will sit in buyer meetings, present data, and defend recommendations
• Data science runway — you'll work with Circana/IRI scan data, promotional ROI models, and real commercial datasets. If you want to build predictive models, automate reporting, or develop dashboards — bring it. We'll back you
• PURPLE values — Partnership, Unity, Results, Positivity, Laughter, Excellence. These aren't on a poster — they're in our quarterly awards, our daily conversations, and the way we work
• Walsh Bay offices — daily barista, breakfast, and end-of-trip facilities
• Career progression — exposure and development through skill development and experiences

Who This Role Suits

This role is designed for a graduate who wants more than a grad program:

• A data science or analytics graduate who wants to apply their skills to real commercial problems
• A commerce graduate who is curious about data and wants to build analytical skills alongside commercial experience
• A postgrad student who wants real ownership and a day to continue their studies
• Someone who wants to learn FMCG from the inside — promotional mechanics, trade spend, buyer negotiations, category management — with data as their lens
• Someone who values autonomy, ownership, and direct access to leadership over a big-company grad program

How to Apply

Include your CV and a brief note on why this role suits you. We're looking for the right person, not just the right CV.

TCCD — Real ownership. Real Relationships. A team that wins together.
