About the opportunity 

 As a Network Analyst, you'll play a pivotal role in enhancing the performance of Australia Post's end-to-end network. Focusing on network flow analysis and optimisation, you'll collate and interpret data on volumes, asset capacity, and network flows to identify opportunities for redesign that meet capacity demands while optimising service and cost.

The ideal candidate thrives on complex data, turning insights into actionable recommendations that drive both strategic and operational decision-making.
