About the Role

The Digital Product Finance team at Coles Group is accelerating digital transformation by partnering with Business Leaders to bring financial expertise and enable strategic decision making. Our online business is key to Coles' future success, and in this role, you will work at pace to support the strategic growth agenda and drive value creation.

This is a rapidly growing area of the business, which will see you owning your remit and objectives, collaborating closely with the broader finance team, and influencing stakeholders at all levels to achieve best business outcomes.

You will:

  • Work closely with senior business leaders in Digital Engineering, Data, and Platforms teams to understand their drivers and drive efficiency and good commercial outcomes.
  • Ensure a strong control framework is in place for all Digital expense lines and accuracy and integrity of reporting.
  • Contribute to achieving forecast accuracy and deliver complex analysis that effectively draws out insights to drive value creation.
  • Prepare, understand, and analyse financial information to identify business opportunities and challenges and recommend a course of action.
  • Design and implement reporting processes for executive and leadership levels.
  • Contribute to efficient capital allocation and investment decision-making.
About You and Your Skills

We are looking for a passionate Finance Business Partner who understands the value of harnessing strong commercial relationships. Ideally, you will have had exposure within digital, but this is not essential.

You will also have:

  • A CA/CPA or similar business qualification or near with commercial awareness and business focus.
  • Experience in the Retail or FMCG sectors will be highly regarded, alternatively a big 4 or mid-tier environment.
  • FP&A experience.
  • Proven ability to challenge and influence key business stakeholders to achieve best business outcomes.
  • Experience of presenting financial information concisely, focusing on drawing out insights.
  • Experience of owning end-to-end planning processes.
  • Strong Excel and financial modelling skills.
  • System literacy; experience of developing dashboards in PowerBI or similar.

Coles Group offers a culture that values wellbeing and professional development, with flexible work arrangements and excellent compensation benefits. We are continuing to build a gender equitable team and a culture that is diverse, inclusive, and welcoming.
