Overview

Wilga Farming (Australia) is seeking a proactive and commercially minded Business Analyst to join our team.

With a strong analytical mindset and eye for detail, you thrive on managing complex information flows and uncovering the trends that matter.

You're commercially astute, experienced in business agribusiness or agriculture, and confident presenting insights that influence stakeholders at all levels.

You build trusted relationships easily, whether you're out in the paddock with farm managers or in the boardroom with finance teams.

Above all, you're organised, proactive, and motivated. You take ownership, deliver on deadlines, and help the business stay ahead of the curve.

What You'll Bring

• Strong skills in business analysis, financial modelling, and strategy development.
• Excellent communication and relationship-building skills.
• Tertiary qualifications in business analytics, commerce, economics, agribusiness or a related discipline.
• Current driver's licence and ability to undertake regular travel.
• Experience in agribusiness, agriculture, or a related sector (desired but not essential).

What We Offer

• Impactful Work – the opportunity to shape commercial decisions and contribute to the growth of a large-scale, innovative farming business.
• Professional Growth – exposure to diverse aspects of agribusiness, with ongoing learning and career development opportunities.
• Collaborative Culture – work alongside a supportive team of farm managers, finance professionals, and industry experts.
• Flexibility & Variety – a role that balances desk-based data and strategy with boots on the ground, on-farm collaboration with operational teams.
• Competitive Package – remuneration aligned with experience, plus the tools and resources to succeed.
• Travel Opportunities – regular on-farm exposure across Australia, connecting you directly with the people and operations you'll be supporting.
