This is a remote position.
About OptizonWe are a fast-growing, multi-brand e-commerce portfolio operating globally. We are transitioning our finance department from reactive bookkeeping to proactive, data-driven financial strategy. We operate a complex ecosystem comprising 10 Xero entities, international supply chains, and an aggressive New Product Development (NPD) pipeline. We are headquartered in Melbourne, Australia, but have a remote and dynamic team spread across various regions worldwide.
We are seeking a highly analytical, commercially minded Finance Analyst to become the “engine” of our finance team. Sitting directly between our Financial Controller (who ensures our data is immaculate) and our CFO (who drives capital allocation), your job is to look forward. You will build dynamic financial models, implement consolidation software, hold department heads accountable to their budgets, and provide proactive insights to scale profitability.
Key Responsibilities
- Systems Implementation: Lead the management of our FP&A software (Fathom or Syft Analytics) to consolidate our 10 Xero entities into real-time executive dashboards.
- Dynamic Modeling: Build and rapidly iterate complex working capital and cash flow models, particularly focusing on our NPD launch pipeline and peak cash troughs.
- Business Partnering: Run monthly Budget vs. Actual (BvA) meetings with Marketing, Operations, and NPD heads, translating numbers into operational reality.
- Open-to-Buy (OTB) Forecasting: Develop forward-looking inventory purchasing models that dictate capital deployment based on projected sales velocity.
- Unit Economics: Track and report on True Net Margin, Cash Conversion Cycles, and Payback Periods at the brand and individual SKU level.
Requirements
- 3 to 5 years in Corporate FP&A, Commercial Finance, or a highly analytical finance role.
- Deep understanding of e-commerce/Amazon unit economics (Landed COGS, FBA fees, TACoS, inventory turns).
- Master-level proficiency in Microsoft Excel/Google Sheets (nested formulas, pivot tables, dynamic modeling).
- Strong experience with Xero and software like Fathom/Syft.
- Exceptional English communication and the confidence to push back strategically on senior operational leaders.

What you need to know about the Melbourne Tech Scene
Home to 650 biotech companies, 10 major research institutes and nine universities, Melbourne is among one of the top cities for biotech. In fact, some of the greatest medical advancements were conceptualized and developed here, including Symex Lab's "lab-on-a-chip" solution that monitors hormones to predict ovulation for conception, and Denteric's vaccine for periodontal gum disease. Yet, the thousands of people working in the city's healthtech sector are just getting started, to say nothing of the tech advancements across all other sectors.
