Description & Requirements

Being in a business support role at Australia Post means helping our people deliver for every Australian. Just like our Posties, you’re still the people behind every parcel. Whatever your team or role, you’re helping grow our people, grow our business and making a lasting impact on the Australian community. You’ll find a culture of connection in our great people and the flexibility to balance work with life outside of it.

About the opportunity

As Finance Manager, Retail, Brand & Marketing, you will partner closely with General Managers, acting as a trusted adviser to deliver end-to-end strategic, commercial and financial leadership across the division.

Leading a team of Finance Business Partners, you will oversee budgeting, forecasting, reporting, investment appraisal and performance analysis in a complex, multi-channel retail environment, while collaborating cross-functionally to drive commercial outcomes and continuous improvement.

You will translate the Post30 strategy into actionable plans, optimise product profitability and provide financial oversight of Australia Post’s national retail network to support performance, efficiency and long-term growth.

You’ll also

Provide commercial advice to Senior Leaders and General Managers, offering insights on profitability, network performance, pricing and investments to drive value.

Use data, analytics, and digital tools (e.g. Power BI, SAP, Power Platform) to strengthen reporting, modelling, and decision support.
Lead budgeting, forecasting and planning, ensuring alignment with financial targets and accountability for outcomes.
Identify opportunities to improve efficiency, reduce costs, and grow revenue while supporting Australia Post’s commercial and public objectives.

About you

You are a commercially minded leader who thrives in complex environments and brings a forward-thinking, change-oriented mindset. With the ability to influence and partner with senior stakeholders, you drive alignment across mindset, culture and ways of working to enable meaningful transformation. You are confident leading and embedding change, challenging traditional thinking and bringing others on the journey to deliver sustainable outcomes.

You’ll also

Bring a minimum of 10 years’ progressive experience in finance, with significant depth in commercial finance, FP&A and finance business partnering within large, complex organisations.
Demonstrate a proven track record of leading financial planning, P&L management and commercial advisory across multiple business lines or portfolios, with measurable impact on strategic decision-making and business performance.

All walks, one route

It takes a lot of us to deliver for every Australian – and it’s important to us that our people behind the parcels reflect the people receiving them. We come from all walks. Different backgrounds, different ages, different genders, different sexualities and different abilities, but we all believe in the same purpose.

We welcome people all ages, genders and backgrounds – including Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, people with disability, LGBTQIA+ communities, and refugees. We’re a Disability Confident Recruiter, committed to making our hiring process and workplace inclusive and barrier-free. We’re also working hard to remove bias and build a gender-equitable experience for everyone who joins us. If you’ve got questions about accessibility, reach out to our Diversity & Inclusion team at [email protected] or on 03 8737 9415.
