Job Description

We’re looking for an experienced Finance Business Partner (Internal Job Title is Analyst – Sales) to join our Sales Finance team for a 9-month Full Time contract, partnering closely with our Sales teams to drive strong financial performance and decision-making.

You’ll work directly with senior Sales stakeholders, building trusted relationships and bringing the commercial story behind the numbers to life.

If you’re comfortable moving between P&L performance, forecasting and analysis one minute and sitting down with Sales leaders to work through performance and commercial drivers the next, this could be a great fit.

Based in our Sydney CBD office, this role is available for immediate start and we offer hybrid working arrangement.

What you’ll be doing

As a key finance partner to our Sales team, you’ll:

  • Partner closely with Sales stakeholders, including senior leaders, providing practical commercial finance support and insight
  • Lead monthly performance reviews, helping stakeholders understand performance and the key drivers behind the numbers
  • Deliver core FP&A activity including forecasting, budgeting, month-end, accruals and variance analysis
  • Support strong financial governance and controls, including customer investment agreements and SAP
  • Partner with Sales to work through customer claims, trading terms and other commercial issues
  • Oversee monthly CDS volume reporting and support annual audit and compliance requirements
  • Look for opportunities to simplify reporting, automate manual processes and continuously improve how the team works

What you’ll bring

  • Experience in Commercial Finance, FP&A and Finance Business Partnering is a must.
  • Strong relationship-building skills and the confidence to partner with senior Sales stakeholders
  • A solid understanding of P&L performance, forecasting, budgeting and commercial drivers
  • Experience working with SAP and financial reporting/planning tools
  • CA/CPA qualification, or equivalent professional finance qualification
  • The ability to turn financial information into clear, practical insights for non-finance stakeholders
  • FMCG industry experience is ideal but not required

Most importantly, you’ll be someone who enjoys getting close to the business. You’ll be curious about what’s driving Sales performance, comfortable building relationships across the commercial team, and able to balance strong financial discipline with pragmatic business partnering.
