Senior Analyst Operations FP&A

Hello. We're Virgin Australia. We're the airline that's always done things a little different. Our way. The Virgin way. We're on a mission to make flying better than 'nice'. And to do that, it takes a team of talented people who are passionate about customer experience, doing the right thing always, with a focus on safety – in the air, on the ground and in our workplaces. A team who values real diversity and inclusion, in a big brand with big ambitions.

What you'll be doing:

As a Senior Analyst in our COO FP&A team, you'll play a key role in driving financial planning, performance, and efficiency across our Operations departments. You'll lead the consolidation of monthly financial presentations, deliver deep analysis on cost drivers and operational metrics, and provide insights that shape strategic decisions. Working closely with teams like Network, Workforce Planning, and Training, you'll help identify risks and opportunities, support key initiatives, and influence long-term value creation.

You'll also help shape how we use new budgeting and planning tools, enhance reporting packs, and support operational decision-making across a diverse and high-impact portfolio. If you're analytically minded, curious about how airline operations come together, and thrive in a collaborative, performance-driven environment, this is your opportunity to make a meaningful impact.

You'll be great in this role if you:

• Hold a bachelor's degree in finance, accounting, or a related field
• Have experience in FP&A within a large, complex organisation (e.g. airlines, resources, tourism)
• Have a background in a Big Four accounting firm (audit, advisory, or transaction services)
• Thrive in fast-paced environments and can apply an 80/20 mindset to deliver quick, effective insights
• Are highly proficient in Excel and PowerPoint
• Have worked in large corporate settings and are comfortable presenting to non-finance stakeholders
• Bring strong systems and project skills, including planning tools and data visualisation platforms
• Can analyse financial data, identify trends, and communicate insights clearly
• Are confident partnering with senior leaders and influencing decision-making

You'll stand out if you also…

• Are CA or CPA qualified
• Have experience in airline finance or similar multifaceted industries
• Possess financial modelling skills and can produce cost estimates under tight timelines
• Understand International Accounting Standards and economic drivers in aviation or transport
• Experience in designing compelling dashboard presentations in PowerBi
• Can simplify complex models and analysis into clear, actionable outputs
• Bring a strong commercial mindset and a passion for continuous improvement
