Job description

Shape the decisions that keep supply chains moving:

As one of Australia and New Zealand’s most trusted logistics providers, our Commercial and Finance teams play a critical role in linking operational performance to business outcomes.

Working closely with teams across transport and warehousing operations, you’ll turn data into insights that drive smarter decisions and improve performance across the business.

With our focus on data, efficiency and continuous improvement, you’ll help build a more connected and future-ready supply chain.

At Linfox, anything’s possible when your insights help shape what comes next.

What does the job look like?

We are looking for an experienced finance or commercial professional to join our Transport Commercial team on a 6-month Max Term contract. Supporting a large and complex transport portfolio, you’ll combine financial analysis, commercial modelling and operational insight to understand what’s driving performance and help shape better commercial decisions.

This is a hands on role where no two days are the same. We’re looking for someone who can hit the ground running, work confidently across a varied portfolio and partner closely with Senior Commercial and Transport leaders.

Key areas:

• Analyse financial and operational results, identify P&L risks and provide clear commercial commentary to management
• Prepare customer rate requests, commercial calculations and new business transport models
• Manage billing documentation, invoicing calculations, fuel levies and rise-and-fall adjustments
• Deliver weekly KPI, contract performance and financial reporting across the transport portfolio
• Support commercial governance across customer contracts, rate cards and portfolios of varying size and complexity
• Partner with General Managers, National Business Managers and operational teams to identify issues, improve performance and support commercial decision making

Are you the one?

You’ll be an experienced finance or commercial professional who enjoys getting into the detail while understanding the bigger operational picture. You’ll be comfortable working independently, navigating competing priorities and turning complex financial information into practical commercial insights.

Transport or logistics experience will be highly regarded, but it isn’t essential. We’re equally interested in strong finance & commercial professionals from manufacturing, FMCG or broader supply chain environments who bring transferable commercial capability.

• Demonstrated experience in a mid to senior level finance or commercial role, with strong exposure to financial analysis, reporting and business performance
• Strong P&L analysis, financial reporting, budgeting, forecasting or commercial modelling experience
• Strong analytical and financial modelling capability, supported by intermediate to advanced Excel skills
• SAP experience within a finance or commercial environment will be highly regarded
• A tertiary qualification in Accounting, Finance, Commerce or a related discipline
• Experience partnering with operational stakeholders and using financial insights to support business performance and decision-making

What’s in it for me?

• Gain hands on commercial exposure across a large and complex transport portfolio
• Work across Leading Australian Consumer & Retail Customers
• Partner closely with senior Commercial and Transport leaders and build exposure beyond traditional finance
• 12 weeks paid parental leave and return to work bonus for eligible employees
• Career development opportunities and mentoring programs
• Access to a range of benefits across dining and adventure, travel and health and wellbeing
• The chance to work in a high-performing team where your contributions truly make an impact

At Linfox, we focus on providing an inclusive and diverse workplace where our people can perform at their best. We welcome and encourage applications from people of all backgrounds, identities and perspectives; with people of diverse genders, ages, religions, abilities, sexual orientations and cultures, including Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, encouraged to apply.
