Our Avalon DC is where the scale of our business comes to life. It’s our largest global distribution centre - 50,000 sqm, 1,000 team members, and the critical link between our product and our customers across 700 stores and 8 brands.

ABOUT THE ROLE

We’re looking for a high-performing Commercial Finance Analyst to support our Distribution and Freight teams on a 12 month fixed term contract. This is a role for someone who’s not just good with numbers, but passionate about turning complex data into simple, intelligent insights that influence commercial decisions.

You’ll work closely with the Commercial Finance Manager and Heads of Country Distribution with preparation of annual budgets, monthly reporting and forecasting, building robust financial models, automating reporting and crafting visual, high quality outputs that tell a clear story. You thrive in Excel, love working at pace, and have a sharp eye for both detail and the bigger picture.

You love solving problems, not just crunching numbers but working across functions to understand the context, ask the right questions, and land on solutions that truly add value. Your curiosity and commercial mindset are what will set you up for success in this role.

You bring strong communication skills, can translate financial information for non-finance stakeholders, and take pride in producing high-quality, presentation-ready outputs. If you're someone who loves making data meaningful and wants to help shape the performance of our Supply Chain, we’d love to hear from you.
