About the opportunity

Join a leading Australian energy business in a newly created role at the centre of how the organisation plans and makes decisions. You’ll own medium-term and integrated planning across Australian and New Zealand operations as well as trading and shipping, turning complex data into clear insights that senior leaders can act on.

This is a rare chance to build a new function from the ground up. Within 18-24 months, the team is expected to evolve into a Centre of Excellence, and you’ll shape what it looks like, what analytics it owns, and what stays with the business.

What you’ll do

• Lead planning and analysis that supports commercial decisions, tactical analysis and medium-term planning
• Build and develop a high-performing analytics team and define its scope and operating model
• Understand the end-to-end supply chain and value chain, and translate the numbers into the “so what” for the business
• Review current analytical methods and introduce future best practice
• Shape and deliver a change plan, partnering with stakeholders across every part of the business
• Present and test recommendations with senior leaders

Your first 3 months

• Get to know the supply chain and develop a roadmap for the team
• Learn the current analytical approach and propose better practices
• Help shape the change plan and gain buy-in from senior stakeholders

About you

• Strong experience in planning, value chain, commercial analysis and analytics, with the ability to see the story behind the data
• A solid grasp of how a supply chain works, beyond spreadsheet modelling
• Experience leading or building teams, ideally at a scale that required you to define how analytics should be structured
• Comfortable handling pressure and ambiguity, with the resilience to tackle problems that stakeholders want solved
• High emotional intelligence and credibility with senior stakeholders
• An engineering, commercial or analytical background; finance qualifications are welcome, but this isn’t a traditional finance role
• Experience in fuels, energy, mining or resources is advantageous, but not essential. The right mix of intellect and EQ matters more than industry background
• A consulting background and exposure to transformation programs are highly regarded, along with the ability to adapt to a corporate culture and drive change within it

Why this role

• High visibility and regular exposure to senior stakeholders
• Broad exposure across all areas of the business thanks to the integrated nature of the role
• Genuine career pathways into commercial, supply or operations leadership
• The chance to build a new function and make a lasting impact
