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.

In this collaborative and consultative role, you will  provide effective planning, analysis and advice on all financial aspects within our revenue teams. With a commercial focus this role will ensure initiatives and processes are in place to deliver the business unit requirements and targets.

• Review of month end results; ensuring accurate and timely reporting and variance analysis, and meaningful business insights ;
• Oversee the preparation and presentation of the management packs for revenue business units ;
• 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.

You’ll be successful in this role if you have :

• A minimum 5-7 years’ experience in commercial finance type role ;
• Excellent written and oral communication skills ;
• Demonstrated systems abilities and a high level of computer literacy, including Advanced Excel spread sheet and financial modelling ;
• Exceptional stakeholder management and relationships skills.

What you will get from us :

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).

Equality rules :

We’re all individuals. We love that. That’s why we encourage applications from Indigenous Australians, people with disability, those from diverse cultural backgrounds, our friends in the LGBTQI community, and anyone else who wants to join our family.

COVID-19 :

At the Virgin Australia Group, the safety and security of our people, guests and operations come first. Always. That’s why we’ve put together a comprehensive ‘Mandatory COVID-19 Vaccination Policy’. In a nutshell, to work with us, you’ll need to comply with our (and the airport’s) rules and regulations. And be fully vaxxed.
