Job description

Icon Water is an iconic Canberra organisation that has been delivering essential water and wastewater services to the ACT community for more than 100 years.

Our people play a vital role in delivering services that support the health, prosperity and liveability of our region. Guided by our values of Care, Connection, Community and Courage, we are committed to building a high-performing, inclusive workplace where our people can thrive while making a meaningful contribution to the Canberra community.

Icon Water is an Equal Opportunity Employer which values diversity and inclusion. We encourage applicants from all backgrounds, including Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders, people with disabilities, people from culturally diverse backgrounds and all ages. We also have a strong focus on gender balance within the organisation and encourage women to apply.

The Opportunity

At Icon Water, sound commercial decision-making is critical to ensuring we continue to deliver essential services while investing in the infrastructure our community depends on.

As the Senior Commercial Analyst Supervisor, you will play a key role in supporting the Infrastructure Solutions portfolio through the provision of financial and commercial insights that inform strategic decision-making, investment planning and business performance. Working closely with operational leaders and stakeholders, you will help shape decisions that influence the future of Canberra's water and wastewater infrastructure.

Leading a small team within the Commercial Business Partnering function, you will combine strong commercial analysis with people leadership, partnering with stakeholders to translate complex financial information into meaningful insights and recommendations. From supporting commercial decision making to developing budgets, forecasts and performance reporting, your work will directly contribute to the sustainable delivery of essential services for our community.

What You'll Bring

You are a commercially minded finance professional with experience supporting strategic decision-making in complex and operationally focused environments. You enjoy working closely with leaders to understand business challenges, influence outcomes and identify opportunities to improve organisational performance.

With a strong foundation in business partnering and commercial analysis, you can translate complex financial information into practical insights that support informed decision-making. You are equally comfortable leading a small team, coaching others and building collaborative relationships across a diverse group of stakeholders while maintaining a focus on delivering high-quality outcomes.

Success in this role will be supported by:

Experience supporting commercial decision-making within essential services, infrastructure, utilities, asset-intensive or other complex operational environments.
Demonstrated ability to lead, coach and develop team members while maintaining high-quality service delivery.
Experience preparing financial performance reports, identifying business insights and supporting continuous improvement initiatives.
Experience developing and maintaining trusted senior stakeholder relationships.
Experience providing financial analysis to support budget development, investment or sourcing decisions, including developing commercial models or cost forecasts using a diverse range of inputs.
Commercial acumen, including a general understanding of procurement, contract management and commercial risk.
Experience working with large ERP systems and advanced Microsoft Excel capabilities.
Relevant tertiary qualifications in Finance or a related discipline, together with CPA or CA ANZ membership.

Why Join Icon Water?

This is an opportunity to play a meaningful role in shaping the commercial and financial decisions that support Canberra's critical water infrastructure.

At Icon Water, you'll partner with operational leaders on complex challenges, influence significant investment decisions and contribute to projects that support the long-term sustainability of essential services. You'll join a collaborative team environment that values professional growth, innovation and continuous improvement while providing opportunities to further develop your leadership and commercial expertise.
