Operations and Planning Analyst

Position Objective

Newly created opportunity for an Operations and Planning Analyst to work as a key member of our Finance and Operations team to drive the business through a period of significant growth. This is a dynamic role in a fast-moving culture.

The role is multidisciplinary working across operations/logistics, demand planning, finance and business intelligence ensuring no day will be the same. The role will work closely with the Head of Finance and Operations to leverage data to plan our Australian and International demand and then execute on that plan. The role requires a blend of strong analytical skills, an understanding of international logistics mixed with a passion for driving great operational outcomes. 

We’re definitely no longer a startup, but we’re also not large enough to let red tape and office politics get in the way of our expectation of the huge impact every team member can have. We don’t have room for passengers, so if you’re looking for a driven culture of collaboration, growth and real accountability, then we’d love to talk to you.
