Hawthorn East, Australia Coles Full time

JOB DESCRIPTION

We’ve been trusted to serve Aussie communities since 1914 and grown to become a top 30-listed on the ASX with 120,000 team members and a portfolio of iconic brands. At Coles Group, you’ll not only get to make a difference to millions of Aussie lives—you’ll also get to see your impact.

About the team 

 
Finance makes it easier for us to win together as a business. Our team works side-by-side with every other team to help bring commercial thinking into what they do and make moves that support our strategic business decisions.    

We offer good work-life balance, flexible working arrangements and excellent compensation benefits.  We have an empowering and inclusive culture with open and effective management providing career stability. 

 
About the Role

We have a brand-new role available for an Insurance Accountant to join our Group Insurance Team. This is a great opportunity for someone with an accounting or accounts processing background to expand their skillset into Insurance and support our Insurance Program Manager on our Insurance renewal strategy, alongside daily accounting responsibilities.  

You will also;    

  • Carry out banking, cancellation and reconciliation in relation to cheques returned or received from vendors 
  • Support the Senior Insurance Accountant in relation to reporting, journals, payment, reconciliation and analysis 
  • Support the Insurance Program Manager in partnering with the business to understand insurance risk financing requirements and ensure effective coverage, including timely, accurate and useful insurance insights 
  • Support the Insurance Program Manager in designing and implementing all aspects of the Group’s external insurance program 

About you and your skills

We are looking for a driven Accountant with sound commercial judgement and experience in either an Accounting or Accounts Payable environment, with a strong understanding of financial reporting compliance requirements, accounting standards, and procedures. Insurance experience is desirable, however it isn’t essential. 

You will also ideally have;  

  • Tertiary qualification in Finance, Commerce, Business, or Insurance discipline 
  • Excellent Excel knowledge 
  • Intermediate knowledge of major accounting software packages for both general ledger and statutory accounting (Finance One, SAP, Hyperion, Cognos) 
  • Well-developed awareness of risk factors impacting the above work and how to mitigate them 

Take your next step into something bigger, apply now

With us it’s not about the discounts (although you do get those), it’s about joining a team where your wellbeing and professional development is our investment and celebrating your contributions is the norm. And because everyone leads unique lives, we offer flexible work, additional leave and parental leave entitlements.

We’re continuing to build a gender equitable team, and a culture that is just as diverse, inclusive and welcoming as the communities we serve. We are committed to creating a workplace that is safe and respectful for our team. We encourage applications from people of all ages, cultures (including Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples), abilities, sexual orientation and gender identities.

We’re happy to adjust our recruitment process to support candidates with disability. For further information and additional contact details visit the ‘Our Recruitment Process’ section of our careers site or email inclusionrecruitment@coles.com.au
