Transport for NSW is responsible for delivering safe, reliable and sustainable transport outcomes for the people of NSW. High-quality financial insight and strong financial leadership are critical to supporting informed decision making across the organisation.

Our Suburban Services Branch in Sydney Trains delivers the end-to-end customer journey across 156 stations, 13 depots and all suburban rail lines. The role provides financial leadership across two closely connected operational functions – Service Delivery and Operations and Resources.

As Senior Manager Finance Partnering & Insights, you will be a trusted advisor to the Executive Directors. This is a highly operational finance leadership role supporting one of the largest workforce and operating cost bases across Sydney Trains.

You will lead financial management, planning and performance insight across functions that operate 24/7 and directly influence customer safety, reliability, service outcomes and workforce productivity.

You hold strong analytical, communication and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to influence senior leaders and explain complex information clearly.
