Senior Commercial Business Partner

Senior Commercial Business Partner | Large-Scale Construction & Property

$150k–$170k + super + bonus | Perth | Hybrid working

We are partnering with a highly successful, multi-brand construction and property group to appoint a strategic Senior Commercial Business Partner.

Overseeing 7 distinct divisions across the group; the business is looking for a commercially minded leader who can look beyond the numbers, leverage data to tell a compelling story, and partner closely with the executive team to drive the financial strength of the organisation.

The Opportunity

This is a highly visible, strategic partnering role where you will be tasked with asking "so what?", translating complex financial data into actionable commercial objectives.

You will lead the group’s forecasting and business intelligence initiatives while actively exploring how AI, statistical modelling, and improved data use can automate reporting and uncover deeper operational insights. You must be comfortable taking ownership of new strategic requirements, including climate and modern slavery disclosures, and be someone who can confidently hold the room when left alone with the CEO.

Key responsibilities will include:

• Partnering with General Managers across 7 divisions to draw insights into performance, challenge results, and develop the group's strategic outlook
• Leading predictive forecasting and scenario modelling, utilising advanced statistical techniques to automate and improve data use
• Developing regular capital reporting, updating the Capital Management Policy, and building investment business case templates for the executive team
• Leading the data gathering, analysis, and reporting for the new climate-related financial disclosures (AASB S2) and modern slavery reporting
• Enhancing Business Intelligence reporting and generating a roadmap for future Power BI developments
• Translating current affairs and market trends into financial insights without getting bogged down in the granular numbers
• Continuously driving FP&A functional excellence and embedding best-practice tools across the wider finance team

About You

We are looking for a big-picture strategic thinker with 6–10 years of experience who thrives on solving complex commercial problems. (Note: Highly capable candidates stepping up from a Senior Analyst position will also be considered).

You will likely bring a strong background in Big 4 consulting (particularly project management) followed by relevant industry partnering experience. A traditional accounting background is not required; candidates with degrees or experience in economics, statistics, or data science will be highly regarded.

Ideally, you will have:

• 6–10 years of experience with a bias toward Big 4 consulting and subsequent industry business partnering
• A strong understanding of time-series modelling, predictive analytics, and statistical forecasting techniques
• Exceptional commercial acumen and the ability to confidently present "the bigger picture" to C-suite stakeholders and the Board
• Experience developing capital investment strategies, business cases, and risk management frameworks
• Proficiency in Power BI and an understanding of advanced ERP systems (Microsoft Dynamics 365 experience is a bonus)
• A proactive interest in leveraging AI and advanced data analytics to elevate the FP&A function

Culture & Environment

This group operates with a relentless focus on excellence and authentic leadership, valuing team members who back themselves, manage their egos, and bring genuine passion to their work. You will be joining an environment that encourages you to step out of the spreadsheet and directly influence the operational and strategic direction of a major national business.

Benefits:

• $150k–$170k base + super + bonus structure
• Based in central Perth with hybrid working
• High-level executive exposure and the opportunity to truly own group-wide commercial strategy
• A highly social, values-driven team culture that celebrates wins and champions continuous improvement

If you are a commercially driven professional with a talent for storytelling, predictive modelling, and strategic partnering, this is a phenomenal opportunity to shape the future of a diverse national group.
