About us

At Officeworks we make bigger things happen. Our customers, our team, and our community are our heart and soul. And if our brilliant people have taught us anything, it is that we can do all kinds of incredible things, each and every day.

Fast paced. Innovative. Inspiring. With close to 10,000 team members and a national footprint of more than 173 retail stores Australia wide – we’re focused on delivering a wide range, low price and great service.

We’re about teaching a customer something new and supporting the community. We’re about making a difference.

You'll also play a key role in helping us deliver our vision for the future by supporting finance transformation initiatives, leveraging automation and AI opportunities, and partnering with our growing Commercial Analyst team in Bengaluru.

What you'll be doing

  • Partner with the Chief Operations Officer and senior leaders to drive sales, profitability and business performance.
  • Provide strategic commercial insights and recommendations that influence decision-making across the Stores portfolio.
  • Identify trends, risks and opportunities that drive growth and operational efficiency.
  • Lead meaningful conversations around financial performance, investment decisions and business priorities.
  • Support weekly trade reporting and deliver insights that help leaders react quickly to changing business conditions.
  • Drive continuous improvement through simplification, automation and new ways of working.
  • Work closely with Commercial Analysts to transform data into clear, actionable business recommendations.
  • Support key strategic projects across stores, operations, technology and business transformation.
