At Fisher & Paykel Healthcare, we fully understand the life-changing impact that can result from delivering inspired and world-leading healthcare solutions.

After all, we changed the way the world delivers respiratory humidification to critically ill patients in hospital. Today, through an unrivalled commitment to innovation; to doing the right thing; and doing what is best for the patient, we continue to inspire world-leading healthcare solutions.

The Role

Are you a commercially minded Analyst with exceptional IT skills and sharp financial acumen?

We are seeking a dynamic Business Analyst to act as the strategic bridge between our Sales, Finance, Operations, and IT divisions. Reporting directly to the Financial Controller - Australia, you will play a pivotal role in optimizing inventory levels, safeguarding product margins, and empowering our sales teams with cutting-edge reporting.

This is not a traditional IT BA role; it is a commercially focused position where your data models and business cases will directly impact our bottom line and growth strategy.

Key Responsibilities

• Financial & Margin Analysis: Review and evaluate sales proposals, pricing frameworks, and commercial contracts to protect and maximize gross margins.
• Inventory & Demand Planning: Assist in managing inventory levels to maintain high product availability for healthcare clients while minimizing holding costs and aged stock.
• Forecasting & Budgeting: Partner with the sales and finance teams to build accurate sales, stock, and demand forecasts.
• Sales Intelligence & Reporting: Design, build, and maintain automated dashboards (Power BI) that track sales pipeline performance, client accounts, and revenue targets.
• Business Case Preparation: Research, model, and prepare formal business cases for new product lines, distribution agreements, and operational investments.
• Cross-Functional System Liaison: Act as the translator between business requirements and technical execution, working with IT to maximize our ERP capabilities.

Your Profile

To be successful in this role, you will possess a unique blend of technical IT prowess and strong financial literacy:

• Financial Acumen: A deep understanding of commercial finance, including gross margins, variance analysis, pricing elasticity, and inventory accounting.
• Advanced IT & Data Skills: Expert-level mastery of Advanced Excel (Power Query, modelling, macros) and data visualization tools like Power BI.
• System Exposure: Hands-on experience navigating major ERP systems (e.g., SAP) and other platforms (e.g. Planning Analytics and Power BI).
• The "Bridge" Mentality: Exceptional communication skills with the ability to talk data with IT, margins with Finance, and strategy with the Sales team.
• Industry Experience: 3–5 years of experience in a Commercial Analyst, Financial Analyst, or Operations BA role. Experience within inventory-based distribution (Medical Devices, Pharma, or FMCG) is highly desirable.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Accounting, Commerce, Business Analytics, or a related quantitative field.

What’s on Offer

In return, we will offer you an opportunity to work as part of a dedicated and energetic team at a company with a fantastic culture of commitment to our employees and customers.

Work as part of a team committed to ensuring the success of our company through solid working relationships with our customers.
