Finance Partner

Hello. We’re Virgin Australia. And we’re back (in a big way).

We’re the airline that’s always done things a little different. Our way. The Virgin way. For us, flying is so much more than simply taking off and landing (although we understand that is quite important). It’s about going the extra mile, in the air and on the ground, to create authentic experiences that put our guests firmly at the heart of everything we do.

What you’ll be doing:

The objective of the Finance Partner role is to provide effective planning, analysis and advice on all financial aspects within the portfolio of departments. The portfolio currently includes FP&A activities for Ground Services and Technical Operations. With a commercial focus, this role will ensure the initiatives and processes are in place to deliver the business unit requirements & targets.

You will be required to work from the airport Hanger once a week. The rest of your time can be split between working at our head office at South Bank and working from home (if you wish).

Further responsibilities:

• Preparation and presentation of the management packs for the portfolio
• Deliver budget and forecasts in a timely manner that meets strategic and financial deliverables for the portfolio
• Maintain a solid working relationship with Group Finance and key external stakeholders
• Provide commercial and strategic support to the Senior Management Team in relation to financial targets, efficiency and delivery of key business priorities
• Monitor and appropriately challenge senior leaders on business performance and forecasts to drive to agreed targets, reduce conservatism and increase accuracy
• Delivery of internal/external benchmarking & ongoing performance assessment against key competitors
• Provide input into scoping, analysis and sign-off of modelled financial benefits for business cases & initiatives
• Manage the provision of ad-hoc, value add financial analysis that ultimately drives value into the business
• Contribute to the development and review of all contracts to ensure financial integrity and adherence to Finance policies e.g. payment terms, limiting risk exposure. Where required, co-ordinate input from other relevant Finance groups

You’ll be great in this role if you:

• Tertiary qualification in Business/Commerce/ Economics. CA/ CPA preferred.
• Extensive budgeting and forecasting experience
• Financial/Management reporting experience
• Experience in a business support function
• Excellent written and oral communication skills and the ability to effectively manage various stakeholders
• Demonstrable systems abilities and a high level of computer literacy, including Advanced Excel spread sheet and financial modelling

We’re committed to looking after you, with some of the best benefits and conditions in the industry – including (but not limited to):

• Heavily discounted air travel for you and your loved ones (including $1000 worth of travel credits per year)
• Flexible working arrangements (including work hours and work from home)
