Financial Analyst
Mō te Tūranga | About the Role
Are you a numbers guru with a knack for turning data into stories that drive real business decisions? As our Financial Analyst, you’ll play a pivotal role in driving strategic financial insights and enabling smarter decision-making across the organisation. You’ll lead the development and continuous improvement of our three-year financial plans and annual budget models, working closely with stakeholders to align forecasts with strategic goals. Your expertise will ensure that our financial models are not just robust and accurate but also powerful tools that shape our organisation’s growth.
In this role, you’ll also take the lead in pricing strategy and analysis, partnering with revenue leaders to evaluate pricing performance, analyse impacts on profitability, and drive competitive strategies. Whether it’s scenario modelling, sensitivity testing, or ad hoc deep dives, you’ll deliver timely, actionable insights that empower executives and operational teams to make informed, data-driven decisions.
This is a hands-on, high-impact role where you’ll be building and refining financial models, contributing to board-level reporting, and driving continuous improvement in tools, systems, and processes. If you love turning complex data into clear, strategic recommendations — and want to make a real difference in a dynamic, purpose-driven organisation — this is your opportunity to shine.
