  • Drive strategic decision-making by understanding market dynamics, competitive trends, and consumer behavior to uncover opportunities. 

  • Champion commercial insight by rolling out ROI models, supporting promotional effectiveness, and partnering with Strategic Revenue Management to optimize pricing and portfolio mix. 

  • Lead impactful projects—from major product launches to portfolio transformation initiatives, and ensure robust post-implementation reviews. 

  • Fuel a value-creation mindset across cross-functional teams through digital tools, insightful reporting, and commercial acumen. 

  • Upskill and inspire marketing stakeholders by enhancing financial literacy and encouraging use of Mars innovation toolkits for disruptive innovation with strong financial evaluation and storytelling. 
     

What You’ll Bring

  • 3–5 years (for T2 level) or 7+ years of broad financial experience, including planning, forecasting, and commercial business partnering. 

  • A passion for driving performance through data-led insights and strategy. 

  • Strong commercial acumen with the ability to translate numbers into strategic narratives. 

  • Experience working cross-functionally—particularly in partnership with Marketing, Sales, or Category teams. 

  • A proactive mindset, always seeking ways to simplify, improve, and add value. 
     

What can you expect from Mars? 
  • Genuine career progression with a focus on you and your career goals. Best-in-class learning and development support from day one, including access to our in-house Mars University. 

  • Global health and wellbeing program to support flexibility and work-life balance. 

  • Opportunity to make a difference with our volunteer and ambassador programs. 

  • Be part of a company that is contributing to making the world a better place today and every day through on our sustainable generation plan. 

  • A culture that offers collaboration, leadership and rewards you for the role you play within Mars.

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.
